A Belgian brown/dubbel ale.   Brewed in a partnership with the outstanding Brouwerij St. Bernardus,  Unfiltered and bottle conditioned.

This ale begins the brewing process much as an Abbey Double would – with copious amounts of roasted malts and well-aged hops to tame their pungency – but has at least two distinctions that set it apart from any other beer. The first is its long period of cave aging in two caves along the Belgian-Dutch border. The constant temperature and high humidity of these caves allows the ale to mature slowly, smoothing out the flavors and bringing a very vinous complexity to the finished ale. The second factor is an herbal component so secret, however, that only the words of the man himself can suffice, “Something nobody else uses in beer. I can tell you I found it in Austin, Texas, and it grows all over the place there. It’s a weed.”
