After a 3 month primary brawl and almost 5lbs of sugar I cracked 20% and created a beast of a beer!

After breaking such a massive barrier I'm briefly sneaking out of my blogging retirement to tell the story of how it came to be.

After 10 weeks of feeding and being stubborn Westbennetteren 20 is officially at 19.6% abv. I just fed it another 6oz of suger that should push it into the 20% range. It's a little murky in clarity right now but nothing a month at 34°f won't solve

Cheers

So after some discussion on Brewday and thinking about it in more depth I've decided that Westbennetteren 20 isn't a Quintuple, it's actually something more

Here is the progression of "trappist" style beers.

Single 4-6% ABV pale in color
Dubbel 6-7.5% ABV dark in color
Tripel 7.5-9.5% ABV pale in color
Quad 9.5-13% ABV dark in color

The pattern that emerges is that odd numbered beers are pale while even numbers are dark with deep red, brown and garnet hues. There is also a pattern in the abv range with little overlap

Between the high range of a quad and the lowest abv I'm targeting for Westbennettern 20 (18%) there's 5 percentage points up for grabs.

Based on that here is my proposed expansion of trappist styles
Single 4-6% ABV pale in color
Dubbel 6-7.5% ABV dark in color
Tripel 7.5-9.5% ABV pale in color
Quad 9.5-13% ABV dark in color
Quintuple 13-18% ABV pale in color
Westbennetteren 20 18-22% dark in color

As far as style names go there are actually 2 options sextuple or hexatruple

Given the fact I'm probably making many a monk roll over in their grave I'm going with Westbennetteren 20 - The Hex (hexatruple)
