Best Belgian Tripels
Hey beer enthusiasts! Have you ever tried a Belgian Tripel? These strong, golden ales are known for their complex flavors and high alcohol content. Imagine a beer that combines fruity, spicy, and malty notes in a harmonious blend. Belgian Tripels are perfect for savoring slowly and appreciating their intricate profiles. Let’s dive into the world of Belgian Tripels and discover what makes them so special.
Trappist Tripel
Let’s talk today about Belgian Tripels – beautiful golden brews with intriguing complexity. Tripels are named for their triple fermentation process which creates a higher ABV around 7-10%. They have a gorgeous honey-gold color with a billowy bright white head when poured. The flavor profile shows the spicy, fruity esters of Belgian yeast. You’ll notice touches of pepper, lemon, banana and apple blended with bready, grainy malt sweetness. The hops take a backseat, letting the yeast shine.

English Barleywine
Let's chat about burly yet beautiful English Barleywines. As the name hints, these beers are big, boozy brews with wine-like qualities. They typically range from 8-12% ABV - not for the faint of heart! Barleywines showcase intense malty sweetness from large amounts of specialty malts. Flavors like dried fruit, caramel, brown sugar, and toasted bread abound. Restrained bittering hops provide balance. Over time, English Barleywines develop a complex, sherry-like character.
Munich Dunkel Recipe
How to Brew Munich Dunkel: Mastering the Malty Magic of Bavaria! Often overlooked by the newer styles that contain more hops or sweet adjuncts, the Munich Dunkel is not given the respect that it rightfully deserves. Often looked at as the German version of a dark mild, this style is a good example of an everyday, easy drinking beer.
Scottish Heavy Recipe
How To Brew Scottish Heavy Beer: From Tartan Highland Taps to Your Tankard Scottish Heavy is a heavier version of a Scottish Light. The Scottish Heavy is actually similar in character to a Wee Heavy, but much smaller in terms of alcohol content. The real irony is that a Scottish Heavy is anything but heavy. It is actually one of the lighter beers you could brew. While there are some similarities, there are plenty of differences with Scottish light ales.
Rauchbier
Okay, get ready for some serious old world beer flavor with Rauchbier! This distinctive German beer style literally translates to “smoke beer” – and you can taste why. The malt used to brew Rauchbiers is dried over an open flame, which gives the beer an intense smoky aroma and flavor. Some compare it to the smell of bacon or smoked ham. It can seem a little unusual at first, but it’s absolutely addictive once you acquire the taste.
Trappist Dubbel
Hey there beer enthusiast! Let’s talk today about one of my favorite styles – the malty, fruity Belgian Dubbel. Dubbels get their name because they typically contain about double the malt of a standard Belgian ale, resulting in a richer, sweeter brew around 6-8% ABV. These russet-brown ales showcase flavors like dried fruit, raisin, fig and prune, alongside the signature Belgian yeast character – spicy, peppery, a touch herbal. Subtle hop bitterness provides balance.
