Vleteren Dark Old Strong Ale is a Belgian strong dark ale from Brouwerij Decaestecker, known as Deca for short. Founded in the 1880s just north of Ypres in northwestern Belgium, Brouwerij Deca was destroyed in World War I and had to be rebuilt after the war was over. The brewery produces a range of traditional Belgian strong ales. Vleteren Dark Old Strong Ale pours a deep, clear reddish-brown colour, with warming aromas of gingerbread and biscuits mingling with dried fruits and apple. The flavour is rich, with smooth malts and ripe fruits complementing the slight alcoholic sweetness.

Buy Vleteren Dark Old Strong Ale for a superbly balanced example of a Belgian strong dark ale.

A 1200% Stouts Style Imperial Stout from Belgium,usually available at The Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth, FB: BlackfriarsTavern

Gulden Draak Imperial Stout is an imperial stout from Belgian brewer,
Brouwerij Van Steenberge. As the rather imposing bottle suggests, this is a seriously strong, flavourful beer. The name Imperial Stout comes from a particularly strong stout that was produced in England and shipped to the Imperial court of Russia back in the 1800s. This regal beer is brewed with double, or even triple, the malts and hops, to produce a rich, complex flavour and strong alcohol content – generally around 10-12% ABV. Gulden Draak Imperial Stout pours a deep black colour, offering up aromas of cherries, dried fruit and chocolate. The flavour is rich and fruity, with chocolate, roasted malt and brown sugar, alongside a hint of clove spice.

Bruegel Amber Ale

A 5.2% Belgian Style Ales Style Belgian Ale from Belgium,usually available at The Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth, FB: BlackfriarsTavern

Bruegel is an easy drinking soft and tasty amber ale. Thanks to the
refermentation it offers more body, more head and more taste than most other American and Belgian Amber ales. It is brewed with Dutch barley and German hops. Although the bitterness is clearly present, it is not dominant.

Gulden Draak 330ml

A 10.5% Belgian Style Ales Style Belgian Strong Ale from Belgium,usually available at The Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth, FB: BlackfriarsTavern

Gulden Draak is a high fermentation beer with secondary fermentation. For the secondary fermentation, wine yeast is used. The white bottle, the black banner, the golden dragon and the red letters, constitute a stylish result that has no equal among the many Belgian special beers. Gulden Draak can be drunk as an aperitif or dessert, or whenever you have the time to sit back and relax. But this barley wine is also perfect with stews, especially the Ghent variety. It is particularly suited as a dessert beer, especially in combination with dark chocolate.

Chimay Red

A 7% Belgian Style Ales Style Abbey Dubbel from Belgium,usually available at The Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth, FB: BlackfriarsTavern

This Trappist beer possesses a beautiful coppery colour that makes it
particularly attractive. Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a slight
fruity apricot smell from the fermentation. The aroma felt in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruit nuances revealed to the sense of smell. This traditional Belgian beer is best savoured at cellar temperature (10 – 12C).
