This \u003cstrong\u003eBelgian Dark Strong Ale recipe kit\u003c\/strong\u003e comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Belgian Dark Strong Ale, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Belgian dark strong ale is the heavyweight of the abbey lineup, the class that includes Rochefort 10, St. Bernardus Abt 12, and the near-mythical Westvleteren 12. These beers push past ten percent while staying, somehow, drinkable, hiding the alcohol inside layers of dark fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLook for fig, date, raisin, and dark bread, with dark candi syrup driving both the deep color and the plummy sweetness that a dry finish keeps in check. This version folds in a little honey alongside the malt. It is a beer to pour into a snifter and sit with, and it is better after some months in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's In The Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour Belgian Dark Strong Ale recipe kit includes everything below, portioned and ready to brew.
