Ommegang\u0027s website says the following\n\n\"Cynics can\u0027t believe it, Epicures hail it a sensation, and Pythagoreans just can\u0027t add up what makes this luscious blend of rich malty ale and cherry lambic so delightful. It might be the flavor of dark chocolate and cherry cordials; it could be the way it acquires wisdom and grace in the cellar. Maybe it\u0027s a conundrum. What\u0027s your theory?\n\nThe essence of wonder is a unique and masterful blend of strong malty ale and authentic Belgian Kriek. Our philosophers deduce that this powerful marriage of cherries, roasted malts, and dark chocolate will only achieve more wisdom and coherence as it broods in the dark recesses of your cellar.\n\n","ImageUrlRoot":null,"StyleId":"26D","StyleName":"Belgian Dark Strong Ale","BatchSize":5.5,"BoilSize":7,"BoilTime":75,"Efficiency":0.75,"DateCreated":"\/Date(1659060341457)\/","BrewSessionCount":0,"MostRecentBrewSession":null,"Og":1.0848936363636363,"Fg":1.0152808545454546,"Srm":19.367267670997467,"Ibu":23.749999497690283,"BgGu":0.27976183510338415,"Abv":8.9800488545454549,"Calories":292,"AverageRating":0,"TastingNoteCount":0,"Fermentables":[{"Per":"48","Amt":"6.6","Ppg":"35","L":"4","Use":"Extract","Id":"560227","IngId":"548","Name":"Liquid Malt Extract - Light - US","CustomName":"","Rank":"2"},{"Per":"24","Amt":"3.3","Ppg":"35","L":"8","Use":"Extract","Id":"560228","IngId":"549","Name":"Liquid Malt Extract - Munich - US","CustomName":"","Rank":"4"},{"Per":"7","Amt":"1","Ppg":"35","L":"2","Use":"Steep","Id":"560229","IngId":"96","Name":"Flaked Wheat - US","CustomName":"","Rank":"6"},{"Per":"7","Amt":"1","Ppg":"34","L":"56","Use":"Mash","Id":"560230","IngId":"41","Name":"CaraMunich - BE","CustomName":"","Rank":"8"},{"Per":"2","Amt":"0.33","Ppg":"34","L":"350","Use":"Mash","Id":"560231","IngId":"53","Name":"Chocolate Malt - US","CustomName":"","Rank":"10"},{"Per":"11","Amt":"1.5","Ppg":"46","L":"0","Use":"Late","Id":"560232","IngId":"87","Name":"Corn Sugar (Dextrose) - US","CustomName":"","Rank":"12"}],"Hops":[{"Amt":"1","Type":"Pellet","Use":"Boil","Min":"75","Day":"0","AA":"9","Ibu":"23.7499994976903","Id":"581009","IngId":"23","Name":"Northern Brewer ","CustomName":"","Rank":"2"}],"Yeasts":[{"Atten":"0.82","Id":"155388","IngId":"566","Name":"Fermentis Safbrew Abbaye","CustomName":"","Rank":"1"}],"Others":[{"Amt":"1.5","Unit":"tsp","Use":"Boil","Id":"102211","IngId":"29","Name":"Yeast Nutrient","CustomName":"","Rank":"1"},{"Amt":"1","Unit":"each","Use":"Boil","Id":"102212","IngId":"15280","Name":"Whirlfloc Tablet (Crushed)","CustomName":"","Rank":"2"}],"MashSteps":[],"Steps":[{"Id":"175268","Rank":"1","Text":"Heat 5 quarts of water to 160 degrees"},{"Id":"175269","Rank":"2","Text":"Place specialty crushed specialty grains in bag and steep for 30 minutes.
