by Brouwerij Alvinne

The boys at Alvinne are really focusing on their barrel-aged sour beers, but that doesn’t mean they don’t make more mainstream styles. 

This beer pours a deep black colour, with notes of roasted malts, coffee and chocolate. 

The flavour follows the aroma, with the addition of dark fruit sweetness, a hint of vanilla, licorice and a slightly bitter finish.  It has a heavy, rich mouthfeel which is very smooth.  As the beer warms, a well-balanced sourness develops.

The Mano Negra is a great beer in its own right, but is also used as the base for some barrel-aged alternatives.  Look out for the Mano Negra Bourbon Barrel-Aged, or even the Mano Negra Chilli Bourbon Barrel-Aged beers.  They are delicious!
