About this beer
This is the 101st of 151 labels we have from The Bruery. It is one of 3 quad / belgian strong labels approved in May 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.
The front label features a symmetrical shield shape with a scalloped magenta outline, enclosing a teal and dark blue mosaic or stained-glass pattern that fills the central field. The brewery name appears in script at the top, with the beer name "The Vesper Bell" rendered in tall, ornate serif capitals overlaid on the mosaic background. Below the beer name, white sans-serif type identifies the style and ABV. The back label presents the same beer name in large serif display type at top, with marketing copy set in a serif body font, followed by serving instructions, regulatory text, and a small snifter-glass icon marking the 2026 edition.
From the label“Answer the call of indulgence with The Vesper Bell. Bourbon barrels nurture aromas of figs, toffee, and vanilla that flirt with your senses, while notes of candi sugar, toasted bread, and fig jam dance on a full-bodied, decadent palate. Deep brown, nearly black, it's a spellbinding companion to Carbonnade Flamande or chocolate Basque cheesecake. Let the bells toll for pleasure.”
