Large selection of Belgian black beers
Black beers have been around for centuries. In particular, porters, stouts, and Schwarzbiers emerged in England and Germany, influencing many Belgian brewers later on.
- Porter beer was first brewed in the early 18th century in London and was especially popular with porters, hence the name. It literally and figuratively evolved from brown beers. Its most notable features: a dark color and high alcohol content.
- Stout beer originated as “stout porter” and was long a uniquely English beer style, though the world’s most famous stout is the Irish beer Guinness. Belgian craft breweries mainly produce sweeter and drier variations.
- Schwarzbier was first mentioned in the 16th century and is still brewed in central Germany. Its typical roasted flavor comes from the dark and roasted malt used by German brewers.

Food pairing and serving black beer
There is a wide variety of black beers, but they often share similarities in their flavor profiles. Expect characterful brews with notes of chocolate, caramel, or coffee. This roasted flavor is created during the brewing process by using roasted malt.
Black beers are perfect examples of Christmas beers, which taste even better in autumn and winter. They pair wonderfully with hearty dishes, such as fatty fish or a rich stew, and, of course, with desserts – or even as a dessert on their own.
For a proper tasting experience, don’t forget to serve your beer in the appropriate beer glasses. This allows all the aromas to fully develop. And remember, presentation matters too. Enjoying your favorite black beer in the right glass will take you straight to beer heaven.
