This beer was excellent…
9% ABV seasonal… don’t know if they add spices, but it is very complex. The first impression is that of Orval… the wild strains of yeast are very similiar. I think these beasties did their work in the bottle… it damn near exploded on me!
JP’s wild yeast produce flavors/aromas ranging from pineapple to sawdust to old books. Following that is the warmth of alcohol. As you gulp it down, you get the spiced base beer - a wonderful belgian dark strong.
Definitely one I would LOVE to try a Christmastime vertical! I will also be pouring the dregs into my Flanders Red. It may not be “to style”, but I would love to keep these wild yeasts in (the right area of) my brewhouse!
