About

Frambuesa i Chocolate is a distinctive sour ale from Brouwerij Hof ten Dormaal, brewed on their 12th-century farm in Tildonk. Aged six months in oak barrels, this 7% ABV beer marries wild fermentation with raspberries and cocoa, creating a layered interplay between tart fruit and rich chocolate. The brewery's commitment to growing their own barley and hops, and completing a circular production cycle on-site, shapes every bottle—a beer rooted in agricultural tradition and craft conviction. On the palate, bright acidity gives way to warming chocolate depth that tempers the fruit's intensity. The raspberry lingers underneath, never overwhelmed. This is a complex, thought-provoking beer for those who seek fermentation character and balance between opposing forces.
