Rich malty decadence in a glass.
[Character]Rich flavors from dark malt and Okinawan brown sugar. Lucious mouthfeel from an extended boil. Lots of dark fruit character balanced with a dry finish and firm hoppiness. Just in time for the holiday season!![Food Pairing] Inoshishi, motsunabe, shiruko, wagyu steak[Naming]The Japanese name for this beer, "Ifu Doudou", is a play on the Japanese name for Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance. A big, boastful beer on one level, and yet majestic at the same time. That said, there is a bit of playfulness in there, as we always like, with Japanese ingredients taking place of traditional European ones to make the beer fitting for KBC.[Brewer's Voice]For the last beer in the rediscovery series, we will be bringing back our Belgian Quad. This is a style renown for its ability to showcase a wide variety of malts in a decadent high alcohol format. Once again, this big beer went through a very long two-and-a-half-hour boil to bring out more color and rich caramel flavors from the malt. In leu of traditional Belgian Candi syrup, we used Kokuto dark sugar to add some depth and complexity to the malt character. This beer underwent secondary fermentation in the can contributing a nice low level of carbonation to bring out more of the dark sugar flavors. With a high ABV this beer is designed to be a treat and will be great for the cold winter nights.StyleBelgian QuadSeriesRediscoveryABV10.0%IBU25Gas Volume2.6MaltPilsner, Pale Ale malt, Caramunich 2, Dark Crystal, Chocolate MaltHopPolaris, TettnangerYeastBelgian ArdennesOthersBrown sugar, KokutoCategoryHapposhuJAN4589718742076
