VF 28 Belgian Dubbel


Just before Christmas we wanted to brew something different, something special, so we decided to brew a 50lt batch of Belgian Dubbel. We bottled it in some 750ml Sparkling Wine bottles and it is currently cellaring down in the south east until such a time as we cannot help ourselves anymore. Should be a lovely winter warmer. Can`t wait!!!
