Back in time for the holidays is our Belgian holiday strong ale. With a blend of sweet and complex malt flavours, this beer has base notes of caramel, raisin, toffee, and sweet honey biscuits. The malt bill is a blend of Golden Promise, Munich, Biscuit, and Dark Crystal malts. These malt flavours were further concentrated over a 2 hour boil to caramelize those malt sugars, and in with the mash we added a blend of holiday spices consisting of rose buds, cinnamon, allspice, and clove. This serves as a base of the spice character in the flavour of the beer, with more spices added late in the boil, this time including some nutmeg. During this long boil, we added a blend of Kuromitsu and white sugar, simulating the dark and light candied Belgian sugar traditionally added to these beers. Soaked on a small amount of Kiyomi peel for a citrus element, this beer was cold conditioned for several weeks to allow the flavours to meld together over time. This beer is a full-bodied decadent treat just in time for the holidays. To be shared with friends or as a dessert all for yourself, this one is sure to hit the spot on a cold winter evening.
