Belgian Honey
Belgian Specialty Ale • Extract • 19 L
Turned out absolutely Amazing. Increadibly smooth, very noticeable honey taste, a very slight sweetness to it. I did not calculate the Alcohol % but it is probably quite close to what the recipe calculated, by taste you would not guess that it was even 5% until you realize how buzzed you are after 1 beer. Aged 4 months in secondary, 3 in bottle. Brewing 2nd batch of it asap. Brew it it is unbelievable Brewing second batch
