Dave's BrewFarm Trapplist

Dave's BrewFarm Trapplist. 8.5% ABV. Dave's BrewFarm, Wislon, Wisconsin.

Deep reddish hue, small creamy-hued head drifts down to nil in no time.

Aroma: Right from the start, a Belgian-style flavor comes through, via the yeast and malt, that unique fruity, funky fresh flavor. Caramel tones, too, and, yeah, the apple is coming through, too. Nice.

Taste: There it is again, a crisp, fruity malt character, covered over with Belgian yeast. Nothing from hops here, but the tasty malt flavor makes up for that, as well as the warming alcohol content. Mmm. Yeah. A little fire in this, enough to make this perfect for a late October night. Tastes like a trappist dubbel meets a quadruple (though not quite as strong), with this extra tasty apple layer on top.

Mmm. I said it before and I'll say it again. One of my favorite BrewFarm offerings.

Let's look at what Farmer Dave tells us about it: "Hey, --could you use some apple jelly that didn't set?" Pils, caramel 80, and Briess Special Roast malts, Brewer's Gold and Ahtanum hops. Late addition of Harrelson's apple jelly, fermented with a Trappist lineage yeast."

Super secret extra information: Farmer Dave says the name came first, and the occasion for brewing the beer later. It's an awesome name.
