Black Beauty is a big Belgian Dubbel - but brewed with rye. It is velvety smooth, chocolatey, has undertones of toffee and rum, and finishes with a dry, spiciness from the rye. The yeast comes directly from an old Trappist monastery in Belgium and imparts a wonderfully complex character to the beer. I made Chef Dave make me our own traditional dark Belgian candi sugar to add to the complexity. This beer was inspired by the music of Miles Davis. I actually placed speakers right by the fermentation tank and "serenaded" the yeast with Miles' music while it fermented the beer. Outta sight, man!

    Pours a deep, warm sable with a decent beige head. Rich, malty, smoky aroma has hints of coffee and caramel, and invites a taste. Mouth-filling flavor has tones of coffee, burnt caramel, and quite a strong alcohol nip - not surprising considering it is seriously high-gravity! There are also nutty and hoppy hints. Texture is smooth as silk and rich as cream.
