real name is "Whoop De Do"

I've tried to edit the name to no avail. It should be Whoop De Do Grand Cru. This should be a great strong, festive holiday ale. Primary for 7 to 10 days and secondary for up to three weeks.

I brewed this beer in mid October and bottled it in early December. For a beer with a high ABV, it has a great flavor that is not overpowered by the alcohol, The spices and the orange make this a very tasty beer. I only wish I had brewed it earlier in the year. It would be great as a holiday beer. If there's any left, I'll enjoy next Christmas. Many thanks for the inspiration for this beer to Manayunk in Philadelphia. They brought an outstanding beer last summer to the beer festival at Stoudt's. Best of show, in my opinion!
