2nd pour on draft. 1214 is fruitier that 3787, but I’m not sure if I like it more or not. Almost has a tart cherry finish which isn’t bad, but I’m not sure I’m crazy about. Will be interesting to see how this ages. May go with 3787 next time. And maybe add a pound of Munich. |

Tasting this beer again as it was under carbonated before. Before it had a pretty strong sour cherry note and frankly wasn’t a very dubbel dubbel. At better carbonation levels there is a nice mix of fruit esters and a decent hop backbone to keep everything in balance. The dark fruit / plum / raisin notes I’d like to see from the Candi syrup and special B are not as strong as I would like. Could up those slightly in the future, perhaps along with including more Munich in the recipe. I am liking the WY 1214 (Chimay) yeast character more than before, but I am not convinced that I will choose it over WY 3787 (Westmalle) in the future. From previous experience, WY 3787 has a nice balance of esters and phenols and an earthy character, which can be manipulated through fermentation temperature. |
