Rochefort 10 ?

[WishboneBrewery]

Rochefort 10 is very nice beer, does the colour come from Dark Candy sugar or some Crystal and Choc malts?

I may be answering my own questions!

According to BLAM, the 10 contains pilsner and caramel malts with white sugar, dark sugar and wheat starch as adjuncts. The colour just comes from the sugar then!

Bloody nice beer it is too.

One for next year I think, when I have some Special B.

You'll want some dark candy syrup-the proper stuff. I have some to try out in the near future... (am gonna try it with WLP530 in a dubbel with a smidge of SpB, aromatic and some Munich. Let me know if you want more details....

Cheers, I'll keep it in mind... I'm more than booked up as far as brewing in the new year goes, I need to try get a Good English IPA ready for March, plus I've got Wit & Kolsch yeasts to use.

The yeast is pretty important here too - it's quite distinctive (WLP540/Wy1762). I have some old Belgian dark strong with the 1762 (which has matured quite nicely now it's getting on for 18 months in bottle- I might try and plate it from the bottle and slant it up in the near future.
