Paciana — Belgian Dark Strong Ale | Busa dei Briganti, Cinto Euganeo (PD)

A tribute to the great Belgian tradition, brewed with barley grown in the Euganean Hills.

Paciana is one of the most iconic beers from the agricultural brewery Busa dei Briganti near Padua: a high-fermentation Belgian Dark Strong Ale, warm, complex, and enveloping. With Paciana, the brewery moves away from intense hop profiles to pay tribute to the great Belgian tradition — creating a dark red beer that tells the story of the Euganean Hills through barley grown directly on the farm, from field to pint.

Tasting profile

Dark, with red highlights and a fine, persistent beige head. The aromatic profile is exceptionally rich, sweet, and festive: distinct aromas of candied fruit, raisins, dried plums, candi sugar, and honey emerge, enriched by an intriguing layer of warm spices, courtesy of the Belgian yeast, and a light smoky note on the finish. On the palate, the flavor is full, rounded, and assertive: the opening is pleasantly sweet, dominated by malt and caramel notes, but the sip evolves toward a surprisingly dry, crisp finish — a defining characteristic of the finest Belgian-style beers, preventing it from becoming cloying.

  • Style: Belgian Dark Strong Ale
  • Strength: 7.2% ABV
  • Color: Dark
  • Fermentation: High (Belgian yeast)
  • Dominant sensations: Candied fruit — Warm spices — Caramel — Smoke

Recommended pairings

Paciana’s sweet, spicy character is best enjoyed with hearty winter pasta dishes and soups, roasted meats and game, aged cheeses, and hard cheeses. A contemplative BDSA to savor slowly on cold evenings.
