Chocolate, Cherry and a Belgian Dark Ale
Ommegang was founded in Cooperstown in 1997 to brew Belgian styles on American soil, and Seduction is one of its most indulgent early blends. The dark ale base brings roast and malt depth; the Liefmans Cuvee Brut component brings tart cherry; and Callebaut chocolate ties the two together. It pours as a dessert-leaning ale that still finishes like a beer. Find more Belgian-inspired pours in our craft beer and beer collections, or on the Ommegang Brewery vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Roasted malt, dark chocolate and cherry. Palate: Rich and smooth — Belgian chocolate and tart cherry over roasty, malty depth, with a touch of caramel sweetness. Finish: Long and slow, chocolate and cherry lingering with a hint of coffee-like roast.
How to Enjoy
Serve cool, not ice-cold, in a tulip or goblet so the chocolate and cherry open up — a natural partner for chocolate desserts, or as the dessert itself.
