My Favourite Brew so far

This is just a quick post with the recipe of my favourite brew so far.

It’s an adaption of a Duvel copy recipe I was sent some time ago, one day I did not have the time to make some candi-sugar for the brew, So I had some honey and decided they were all sugars, I’d try it with Honey instead, the result was a Belgian Golden strong ale style, with very nice Subtle Honey flavours, I recommend this recipe for anyone who likes the stronger Belgian style beers!!
