Scaldis Belgian Special Ale

Well costly to make and after keging and sitting for 2 months it was a hit at the party.

Considering its %12alc, the 1st few sips you can detect the alc in it, after that you can only taste the flavor.

Got lots of very suprised people who drank it and loved it. Got asked to make it for next Christmas party. Of course I said sure, fork the cash over and I'll do it. HAHAHAHA

If you have not tryed a big beer this one is worth trying.
