My idea of a strong ale was brewed with loads of malt, hops, jaggery and a touch of manuka smoke.
It was fermented with a clean ale yeast to let the ingredients speak for themselves without getting interrupted by too many esters.
After all that it was aged for 5 months on American oak, then refermented in the bottle.
Cheers – Søren Eriksen – Brewer
Hops - Pacific Jade, Chinook
Malt - Pale Ale, Munich, Special B
Yeast - US-05
Other - Manuka Smoke, Jaggery (raw sugar) and American Oak

On tap at CBC, pours an opaque ruby red with a small off-white head. Aroma of oak barrels, candied sugar and Belgian yeast. Flavour of loads of stone fruits, oak barrels, alcohol and treacle. Very boozy and caramely. Not the most complex, and quite boozy and fruity. Decent stuff.
