Zwarte Kaat from Brouwerij De Bolle Brouwketel in Bladel is a dark ale named after a legendary local figure. According to folklore, the Zwarte Kaat was a witch from the Helleneind region who, some four centuries ago, led a band of robbers through the countryside. This dark beer carries that bold heritage, with gently roasted malt and subtle vanilla notes woven through the palate.

At 6.5% ABV, the beer balances its darker malt character with a pleasant bitterness in the finish. It pairs well with aged cheese and hearty fare, making it a fitting companion to substantial meals.
