Greatly inspired by the Strong Dark Ales of Belgium - Brewed with a variety of Belgian malt, boiled for several hours with European hops and open fermented with WLP530 at ambient temperature. Conditioned in stainless for several weeks and then bottled on 12/18/2023 to re-ferment, condition, mature, and test our patience.

Time Stacking

Fermented with WLP001, cold conditioned at 0°C for twelve weeks, and then packed on 08/15/2024.
Tasting notes - strawberries & cream, “The Original” caramel candy, stroopwafel
