Sombre Folle from Brasserie de Sutter is an English Brown Ale at 8.5% ABV that lives up to its name. Crafting this beer requires a blend of five different malts to achieve the desired balance. Caramel and biscuit malts deliver a full, rounded mouthfeel on entry, followed by roasted and lightly coffee-forward aromas. The finish is long, spicy, and dominated by caramel notes.

This dark brown ale from the French brewery in Gisors offers an intriguing interplay of sweetness and roasted character, supported by subtle spice.
