I have been trying to find a clone recipe (or even one just close) to Avery's the Beast. This is my all time favorite beer and it is impossible to buy here. My understanding is that it is a strong dark Belgium but none of the recipes I have read seem close enough.
http://averybrewing.com/our-ales/the-beast/
the website lists these as the grains. Two-row barley, Honey malt, Dark Aromatic, Pale wheat, Roasted wheat, Special B
and these as the hops, Bravo, Bullion, Sterling, Hersbrucker, Columbus, Styrian Goldings
and these as added sugars, Dates, Molasses, Dark Belgian Candy Sugar, Colorado Honey, Raisins, Turbinado
OG: 1.135
ABV: 15-17%
IBUs: 63
Color: Burgundy
Before anybody asks: NO! i did not just pick out the strongest ale i could find. This peculiar brew is one of the primary reasons I started brewing.
I do have beer Smith and just finished my stir plate. I would like to brew this one soon so I can have it start to age to hopefully be ready to drink by winter of 2013.
Thank you HBT community.
