BEERS
At BarNone, we take our beers very seriously. We have made every effort to source only the finest beers from around the globe to serve at our tables. All of our beers are brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot; the German purity law of 1516, which states that only malt, water and hops can be used in brewing, otherwise its simply not beer.
When deciding which beers to carry, BarNone looks at one important factor… Is the beer in question regarded as a good beer in its country of origin? And… is it offering our customers something unique and different. For instance, in Germany, Becks is not recognised as a premium beer… so why would we serve it to you as one? Simple… we wouldn’t.
In our eyes, three countries deserve special mention for their excellent beer producing ability. These countries are: Australia, Belgium and Germany. Because these countries offer so much to the beer world, we saw it fit to include the region these beers were produced within each country, as different regions can often produce vastly different beers.

STOUT As mysterious as they look, stouts are typically dark brown to pitch black in color. A common profile amongst Stouts, but not in all cases, is the use of roasted barley (unmalted barley that is kilned to the point of being charred) which lends a dry character to the beer as well as a huge roasted flavor that can range from burnt to coffee to chocolate. A different balance of hops is up to the brewers preference, but the roasted character must be there. Export Stout, such as coopers, are a special style of stout that is brewed bigger than normal for a long journey, the more traditional Foreign / Export Stouts will be found in the tropical regions of the world. Higher in alcohol with a very pronounced roasted character.

DOUBLE ABBEY – ABBEYE DUBBEL Dubbels are a mid strength Belgian style of beer that are dark amber to brown in colour and usually have a large head that lasts for the duration of the beer. Complex flavour consists of sweet malts which can have a chocolate, roasted nutty taste. Dark fruit flavours such as raisin, date or plum are usually present and sometimes this is accompanied by a spicy presence. Hop flavour is usually not noticeable. Finish tends to be dry with a warming from the higher alcohol. Good Dubbels are usually very complex and tasty.

TRIPLE ABBEY – ABBEYE TRIPEL Abbey beers have a long tradition dating back to the middle ages when trappist monks brewed these beers in their monasteries. It is believed that Triples were invented at the monastery at Westmalle which we have on our list for you to enjoy today. They are yellow to deep gold in colour and are often highly carbonated almost like champagne. A good Triple will have a complex flavour consisting of Belgian yeast, citrus fruits, candy sugar, spices, malt, hops and alcohol tastes. The malt flavours are much more subdued than Dubbels, the yeast is even more prevalent and the hops are moderately increased. The finish is generally drier due to the high carbonation and hops bitterness.
Westmalle Triple 9.0% Antwerp, Belgium 12 IDEAL SERVING TEMPERATURE: 10 – 14 degrees BREWERY: Brouweij Westmalle RECOMMENDED: Pours a hazy honey gold colour with a light beige head that leaves an lasting residue around the glass. Aroma includes faint hay fields, some citrus, faint spice, woody hops, malt and candy, yeast and more fruit as it warms up. Flavour overall still not quite as complex as the Dubbel. Start is faint sweet with full hoppy bitter, medium body and lovely dry clean finish.
BELGIAN STRONG ALE The BJCP divides Belgian Strong Ales into dark and golden subcategories, Blond and Dark. Blond versions tend to be similar to triples with a fruity and spicy hop flavour. They tend to be paler, lighter and drier than their tripel counterpart. Dark versions are similar to Abbey Dubbels and are more malt orientated than the Blond versions. They tend to be sweet, often flavoured with candied sugar and have moderate hop flavour.
The Forbidden Fruit 9% Kluis, Belgium 10 IDEAL SERVING TEMPERATURE: 9 – 11 degrees BREWERY: Brouwerij van Hoegaarden A dark ale with brilliant fruit flavours. Placed somewhere between a traditional pale and Guinness. This beer exhibits great structure and flavour and should be tried at least once.
