Atlas 12% 500ml
★★★★½ 4.5 (2 reviews)Atlas 12% is the beer equivalent of someone clearing their throat before they say something serious. It's a Dutch strong lager that drinks closer to a glass of something boozy than your average bottle, all warm grain and a heat that hangs around long after the sip. One bottle is a whole evening's plan. Pour it slow, settle in, and let the 12% do the talking. We'll have it at your door whatever the hour.
Pour it and you get a slightly hazy amber with a small white head that doesn't hang around. The nose is all bread and grain, sweet malt, and a clear whiff of the alcohol underneath, no hiding it. On the tongue it's medium-bodied and soft on the fizz, leaning a touch sweet before that 12% kicks in. The finish is warm and spirity, a proper boozy glow that lingers like a nightcap. This is a sipper, not a session.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Atlas Super Strong comes out of the Netherlands, brewed by United Dutch Breweries, a Breda outfit that's made a name shipping bold, high-octane lagers to fans across Africa and Asia. Their whole thing is naturally brewed strong beer, built on pure water, malt and hops, then pushed to that punchy 12%. It's a Dutch passport on a beer made for people who like a bit more muscle in the glass.
