Some beers are made to drink cold, and then there is this one - a warm, spiced beer liqueur that belongs in a small glass topped with whipped cream, far from the ordinary bottle of beer.
Expert description of Ultra Belgian Beer Liqour
Ultra Beer Liqueur is a sweet and spiced beer liqueur at 20% alcohol, distilled from Ultra Delice, an award-winning dark Belgian beer full of sweetness and spice. After distillation, coffee extract is added, giving the liqueur a deep and aromatic profile with notes of malt, chocolate, coffee and vanilla. The liqueur is produced by a brewery with roots dating back to 1897 and a tradition of combining classic Belgian brewing craft with creative flavour variations.
It has a full, round taste that suits dessert, after-dinner drinking or a warming winter treat. Ultra Beer Liqueur is recommended served heated to around 45-50°C in a small 2-3 cl glass, ideally topped with whipped cream - an alternative to Irish coffee that is as much a conversation piece as a taste experience.
