5 Seasons North Black Beauty on Whiskey and Oak 5 Seasons North Alpharetta, Georgia
Beer style: Dubbel Ref: ratebeer.com Jun2024
Common descriptors are 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!
