New Belgium 1554 (pack of 6) (35.5cl, 6%)

New Belgium 1554 is a dark ale brewed with European lager yeast at ale temperatures by New Belgium Brewing Company at 6% ABV. It is a modern resurrection of a lost Flemish beer style known as zwertbeer. The grain bill combines Pale, Carapils, Black, Munich and Chocolate malts, with a dash of licorice root. The aroma leads with bready dark malts, followed by milk chocolate and dried dark fruits. The palate is smooth and bright, with a full malty body and layered chocolate, nuttiness and sweet caramel. The finish is dry and chocolaty, with lingering roast and a faint licorice note.
