An attempt at trying to capture some of the character of the Trappist/Trappist-adjacent beers I recently tasted in the Flemish regions of Belgium.
The flavor profiles of the West Flanders beers (Westvleteren and St. Bernardus) in particular suggested that they were made solely of base malt and some amber sugar. I'm going to try that here and see what happens. This beer is somewhere in between the strengths of a few of the beers I had.
