Maturation: For two years in wooden casks {from the Bordeaux wine area in France) . The young beer is brewed at around 50 EBC . The young beer is indeed a very important part of the secret of the Real Flemish Red Ale. It is a “full malt” beer ( with caramel malt and roasted barley ) and a little dark candy sugar. It is hopped with Kent Goldings and Saaz at 22 IBU. It is very difficult to assign both brews to a specific beerstyle .They are both special brews destined for blend only. The base beer is too acid to drink by itself while the young beer is too sweet and without “special” character.
