From the brewer

What then can we say about the style of this beer? Well it certainly does not fit into a style recognized by the BJCP, BA, WBC or any other adjuticative body. The recipe brings dehusked black malt from a schwarzbier, Belgian candi syrup, and Kölsch yeast together in a vat in Bothell, Washington. This beer does not conform to a specific style, so we'll have to come up with a label to conform to it, just like in the old days. With elements passed on to us by both German brewers and the Belgian monastic brewing tradition, I like to call this one a German-style abbey ale.

Who's been drinking this

A bit like the 2021 but is a little tangier, has a little more roast character, some vegetal hop bitterness and some funk. It’s more complex but at the same time less coherent.
