White Labs WLP545 Belgian Strong Ale
White Labs WLP545 Belgian Strong Ale
From the Ardennes region of Belgium, this classic yeast strain produces moderate levels of ester and spicy phenolic character. Typically results in a dry, but balanced finish. This yeast is well suited for Belgian dark strongs, Abbey Ales, and seasonal beers.
Notes
I came up with this myself!! Well, beertools helped, but I've been wanting to try a brew with honey, having found a good purveyor of raw honey. I mostly wanted to try it with Belgian Biscuit to see what that might taste like. I'll find out soon.

Needs to Age!!!

This needs to age _at least_ 3 months in the bottle.. it's just now starting to go beyond the "drinkable" stage and develop some character and smoothness.
