Notes

Brewed on 3/12/2005. OG Original Gravity is 1.075. 1-ish ounces of Amarillo for dryhopping. Gravity prior to racking into secondary is 1.012. Gives me an abv 8.3%. Holding at 68° F for 2 weeks and then cold condition for 3 weeks at 40° F prior to bottling. Initial sampling shows a nice fruity aroma and a dryish mouthfeel. This turned out to be a dark tripel. More along the lines of a "Grand Cru". Bottled on 5/2/2005. Terminal Gravity is 1.009. Looks like an abv of 8.7% (a bit noticeable in the aroma). Cold conditioning lasted 2 1/2 weeks.
