Savel - Take 2 - Belgian Golden Strong Ale

Yeast is La Chouffe strain from Moon River.
Mashed in a bit high at 155F. Fermented at 63-65F for 7 days and then raised to 72F for 2 more weeks. A slow ferment.

Aroma is light on Belgian phenols but ML pepper notes and MH fruits of apple, citrus. Taste is lemony sweet at medium high levels to start Sweetness is more sugary than from malt. Malt is ML white bread in background. No hops. A ML belgian spicy note comes next with moderate drying from the alcohol leading to a suprisingly dry finish with a still slightly sugary-sweet note. Balance is to the sweet side with hops really in background. Interesting beer first time using the La Chouffe strain. I believe I would go back to my typical WL500 or even use T-58 just for my personal druthers.
