About this beer

Embrasse is a Belgian Dark Ale from Brouwerij De Dochterm van de Korenaar, brewed and bottled in Baarle-Hertog, Belgium. Weighing in at 9.0% ABV, this beer underwent a unique maturation process—aged in peated whiskey barrels for 6 to 8 months, then refermented in the bottle. The label highlights this aging, boasting a “Premium Quality Whiskey Barrels” designation. The resulting flavor profile is described as robust and smoky, with notes becoming complex over time, and is made with water, hops, barley malt, and wheat.

The label artwork features a striking illustration of a stylized, pale face, partially obscured by dark shadows, against a deep brown background. Gold foil accents the brand name and imagery associated with the whiskey barrel aging process. It notably lists ingredients sourced from several US states and notes a cash refund policy for certain states. The label also contains text in Dutch, featuring “Zoet/Sweet”, “Zuur/Sour”, and a phrase – "Proef het verhaal" – roughly translating to “Taste the story.”
