“Belgian-style dark ales are a treat to drink,” says Ommegang’s Innovation Manager Justin Forsythe, who developed the
recipe. “Sirens’ Song is brewed with dark Belgian candi syrup
to impart decadent notes of dark fruit and burnt sugar, and also brewed
with raisins and figs in order to compliment the rich, fruity character
of this dark ale. It’s a wonderful wintertime
treat, or a beer to age for years to come.”
The
mahogany colored ale has with a thick, creamy tan head and distinct
lacing. Aromas of roasted malt and dark fruit are pronounced. The flavor
begins with sweetness and caramel notes and finishes smooth with
lingering hints of caramelized sugar and balanced bitterness.
Brewed with pilsner, midnight wheat, and soft red wheat malts,
Sirens’ Song is hopped with noble varieties for balanced hopping.
The figs and raisins used in brewing not only add to the complexity of
the beer but also represent cargo lost to the sea because of the
bewitching sirens’ songs.
Pairing
suggestions include grilled meats and BBQ, smoked salmon or trout, and
rich cheeses like blue cheese and cheddar. Available soon for a limited
time in 12 oz. four-packs and on draft.
