La Foret Noire is a reddish-black ale brewed with a mixture of malts (Carafa, Special B) which give it real body and depth - a color and texture reminiscent of chocolate torte. The beer is then blended with cherry wine and fermented cherries, resulting in a dark, roasty beer balanced by the fruity tartness of cherry. The beer was named after the famous Black Forest cake: a combination of chocoolate cake and candied cherry. 6.8% ABV.
