The Bruery 3 French Hens Belgian Dark Ale 750ml

3 French Hens – A Festive Belgian Dark Ale

Brewed in the heart of California, 3 French Hens is The Bruery‘s acclaimed take on the rich, spicy Belgian dark strong ale style. At a celebratory 10.5% ABV, it delivers complex flavors ideal for festive gatherings.

Pouring a deep mahogany, the beer tantalizes with inviting aromas of ripe dark fruits, holiday spices, and a whisper of oak. Each sumptuous sip overflows with notes of plums, dates, brown sugar, and candied orange peel framed by the warmth of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Aging in premium oak barrels bestows a smooth, almost winey character with hints of vanilla and toasted coconut.

Despite its robustness, 3 French Hens remains dangerously drinkable. The rich, creamy mouthfeel complements rather than overwhelms the bold flavors in perfect harmony.

A perennial favorite, this Belgian-inspired ale garners impressive ratings year after year – currently 86 on BeerAdvocate and 4/5 on Untappd. Smooth enough for the craft novice yet complex enough for the seasoned enthusiast, 3 French Hens is an outstanding option for low-key hangouts and lively holiday parties.

Whether reuniting with loved ones or celebrating with friends, raise a glass of this indulgent yet refreshingly drinkable strong ale. 3 French Hens promises to bring a touch of spicy Belgian decadence to any festive occasion.
