Belgian Dubbel – 7.2%
4PK – 16oz Cans
It’s been over 6 years and we had never made a Belgian Ale…until now. “Endless Journey” is our first ever Belgian Dubbel, dreamt up by Jamis (our cellarman extraordinaire) and brewed in celebration of the nonstop path of growth we’ve been on since day one here at DSSOLVR.
We started with a grist of 100% @riverbendmalt, of course. Comprised of a blend of Cumberland Pils, Light Munich, Chit Malt, and a dash of their Double Kilned Munich. We then put this baby through a 4-hour extended boil to really drive a touch of extra color and depth. The We then fermented this with a new-to-us Belgian yeast, added in Dark Candi Syrup right toward the end of fermentation to kick up some extra fruity-tooty character, and then spunded the tank for natural carbonation.
We experience toasted Brown Bread alongside a Clove Tea, Raisins dipped in Caramel, a hint of Black Licorice, all atop a complex body with an incredibly smooth finish. We’re pretty chuffed with our first Belgian!
We always encourage our staff to fire off whatever beer ideas they may have, and Jamis’s first request was a Belgian Dubbel. We honestly said “not right now” at first, honestly afraid that Belgian Ales had fallen too far out of style, but now we’re kicking ourselves for waiting so long! We couldn’t be more grateful for Jamis’s patience to bring this to life, in any event! Don’t worry, this has inspired us to bring forth some other old-world styles soon…
