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
This is a clone of La Trappe Quadrupel with a little twist. It has higher alcohol content and a mix of american and french oak chips. Curacao and coriander are added with the hops for the final 12 and 3 minutes of the boil. 1 tsp Irish moss is added for the final 15 minutes. 4oz of oak wood chips at added to the 2ndary fermentor.
