Originally brewed in the 1950s, this 2011 recreation is part of Dupont’s modern stable. In spirit, it is most comparable to a dry Irish stout, with more roast astringency than a Guinness and a wealth of coffee and dark toast on the palate. The difference is the scrubbing carbonation imparted by the Belgian yeast strain during secondary fermentation in the bottle. An excellent companion to the briny salinity of a half dozen oysters.
