The name Urkontinent, a German word for the theory that all of the continents were once connected, is a shoutout to the worldly recipe and ideas that make up this beer. The careful combination of ingredients gives this Belgian dubbel complex coffee and chocolate-­covered cherry notes.

“Urkontinent is a valentine to boot-­‐strapping creative entrepreneurs in all kinds of industries all over the world,” says Dogfish Head Founder and President Sam Calagione.

The beer reminds me of the Cocoa Mole beer from New Belgium except for the chiles. It is a delicious Champurado (Mexican warm chocolate and maiz flour drink) beer. What you get here is chocolate-­covered cherries with espresso flavors and a some sweet banana bread and minor grassy and earthy notes in the finish with some honey and roasted chocolate still in the aftertaste. There are some vanilla and hazel caramel in there as well. Where’s the alcohol? Oh that’s right, it is well masked. Crafty DFH :P. The emphasis really is more on the sweet porter like flavors than a Belgian-Style Dubbel. However because it is in there, I cannot conclude that it is not a Dubble. It is definitely not a porter but sorta drinks a little bit like it. I guess is a Porter/Dubbel mix brew. So Belgian, Porter and Stout lovers out there will find this one intriguing. Give it a try as it is a limited beer :P….
