Fermented with Chouffe yeast in primary fermentation. Filled with highly apparent clove aroma and flavor, followed by light caramel flavors with non-cloying candy sweetness. Fruit and citrus typically associated with Chouffe beers shines through. Oats and wheat in the mash help balance the body of the beer. The use of Chouffe yeast in primary fermentation is a house first for Ommegang, in an experiment to explore different yeast strains for their flavor and aroma potentials. Bottle conditioned with Ommegang yeast.
