So i made a duvel clone not having a real understanding of what a belgian ale is supposed to taste like. I am pleased with it. I used a lot of sugar and 1366 wyeast. It has a flavor that reminds me of the taste of blood. Like when you bite your lip by accident or have your gums bleed. I thought this flavor was an off flavor when i first tasted it. I'm drinking a pint of palm speciale belgian ale at bar now. And it has a very similar flavor. I guess i got something right. What is the 'blood' flavor usually described as?
