Lake Monster Pilot Batch: Gill's Grand Cru

Lake Monster Pilot Batch: Gill's Grand Cru.

10 % ABV, 20 IBU, Lake Monster Brewing, St. Paul, MN. 

Largely opaque, burgundy-hued, slim to no head.

In the nose: Sweetness and malt, Belgian yeast, candy sugar, banana and bubblegum. Has the making of the dubbel or even quadruple about it. 

In the mouth: Dark malts, caramel, chocolate, Belgian Special B, dark fruits, cocoa, brown sugar. Full-bodied, long malty finish. Quite delicious. 

Our newest pilot batch concocted by our head brewer. A complex, dark Belgian ale with a hint of vanilla, prefect for a cold winter's night.

Hmmm, perhaps this is why the crowler was two-for-one that day.
