A Grimpeur loves to go up, climbing, ascending, reaching, aspiring to new heights. No matter the conditions—intense heat, drenching rain, or skin piercing sleet—they show a passion for being the first to unfurl their flag atop any mountain. With an intensity that doesn’t reflect much light, The Grimpeur Dark Ale is very dark…nearly black. This beer is malt heavy yet balanced with a chocolatey and dark-caramelly flavor and aroma with a very faint roast character. With just enough hop character for balance, this is an all dark-malt-forward beer with a smooth finish. Thick, creamy and focused on reaching the top.
