Long thought to be lost, this culture could very well be the holy grail of Belgian trappist-style brewing.

Notes of sweet vanilla and caramel will fill the aroma and give way to soft toffee and pear flavors. Slightly phenolic. Some bubble gum esters when young.

  1. Adam Drakulic (verified owner) –

    A very interesting yeast! I decided to use it with a Belgian Stout recipe I made and fermented at room temperature. I get a ton of pear/fruity flavor with a decent amount of acidic twang that kicks in the background. Would probably be better for a lighter style of beer but this definitely one I would use again.

  2. Kyler Volke (verified owner) –

    I made a Belgian Dark Strong. 1.078 OG 1.010 FG. I made a 1 liter starter but it was still a bit under pitched as The yeast packet was near the end of its recommended 4 months shelf life. The beer took 14 days to reach terminal gravity. The longest I have ever had a yeast take. Yet the beer attenuated well. Besides that the yeast produced a nice banana flavor along with some spice. Something I find familiar in Belgian Trappist beers. Despite the long fermentation on this beer I would gladly use it again.

  3. William McCarrick (verified owner) –

    Brewed a Tripel using your recipe and Mecca malt. Left in conical for 8 weeks then transferred to keg for another 2-3 weeks before carbing. The color of beer is absolutely beautiful. and the taste was so good, I kept chuckling to myself as I drank it. I have attempted many variations of a Belgian before and always wound up thinking that if I want a really good quality Belgian I’ll have to buy one. But this beer is just phenomenal ! Best Belgian yeast out there if handled correctly. DO NOT DISCONTUE THIS PRODUCT !
