De Ranke | Noir Dottignies

Noir de Dottignies is an 8.5% Belgian strong dark ale brewed by Brouwerij De Ranke, a brewery celebrated for balancing rich malt character with assertive hop bitterness. Pouring deep brown with ruby highlights, it opens with aromas of roasted malt, cocoa, dark cherries and subtle spice.

On the palate, layers of dark fruit, light chocolate and caramelised malt are structured by De Ranke’s signature firm bitterness. Rather than turning sweet or heavy, the beer finishes dry, complex and elegantly warming. Powerful yet precise, this is a Belgian strong dark ale with backbone and balance, ideal for slow sipping or pairing with robust cheeses and hearty dishes.
