About This Beer
La Senne Stouterik is Brasserie de la Senne’s tribute to the traditional dry stouts of yesteryear, brewed with care in the heart of Brussels. At just 5% ABV, it’s a refreshingly light-bodied yet robust Brussels Stout with rich roasty character and excellent drinkability. This unfiltered, unpasteurised beer avoids shortcuts, remaining true to the Belgian brewery’s principles of authenticity, balance, and depth. As one of the few Belgian dark beers styled after British stouts, it offers a unique fusion of brewing heritages — a welcome addition to any craft beer lover’s fridge.
Crafted using a blend of pale and dark malts, British hops, and traditional top fermentation, Stouterik delivers a beer that’s full of character without being heavy or overly bitter. With no added sugars, stabilisers, or artificial ingredients, it’s all about the honest interplay between roasted grains and hop bitterness. The result? A dry, cocoa-toned stout that satisfies without overwhelming the palate.
