Description:
Early April 2007, we were honoured by the invitation from Chris Lively to attend to the EBENEZER’S PUB 3rd ANNUAL BELGIAN BEER FESTIVAL. As a tribute to Chris, we decided to create a special brew for this event. Developing a new ale is always a challenge for every brewer, especially if one is talking about a new style, BELGIAN ROYAL STOUT. This beer comes with a bitterness of 100 IBU. 160 EBU for colour, a full bodied Belgian character, and the Struise signature. Although all these extreme values, still a powerful, elegant and well balanced ROYAL STOUT.

Black Albert, verwijzend naar onze lachende Koning Albert, is één van onze grootste kleppers en vlaggeschip bij De Struise Brouwers. Is een Belgian Royal Stout met onnoemelijk veel complexe smaaktoetsen. Zag voor het eerst het daglicht in 2007 en staat sindsdien onafgebroken in de Top 100 van de beste bieren ter wereld. Werd aanvankelijk gebrouwen als eerbetoon voor de beste Amerikaanse kroeg “Ebenezer’s Pub” van Christopher & Jennifer Lively.
Black Albert, referring to our smiling King Albert, is one of our biggest flagship beers at De Struise Brouwers. Is a Belgian Royal Stout with untold complex flavours. Saw the light of day for the first time in 2007 and has been in the Top 100 of the best beers in the world ever since. Initially brewed in homage to Christopher & Jennifer Lively’s best American bar “Ebenezer’s Pub“.

Black Albert was brewed and crafted with 100% Belgian ingredients. It’s blacker than black, with an inch of dark tan head that lingers as it cascades into itself. Nice aroma of bitter-sweet chocolate, fresh torrified coffee beans, barley, candy sugar, complex fruits, and floral hops. At the front, there is spiced baker’s chocolate, fresh mocha, caramel-like barley touches, and underlying hints of dried fruits which marries the back of your palate and features a Top, and well integrated but not overbearing hop flavour. The after-taste is well balanced and shows a panorama of extreme sensations like chocolate and coffee bitters, a plum cake richness that covers the palate, and a crisp impression of hop bitters that brings elegance and freshness into this massive brew.
