Brew #47: Delirium Tremens clone

The recipe called for some Golden Syrup and Paradise Seeds. I didn't get either and had a bit extra extract to make up for the missing syrup. I doubled the amount of Saaz hops from the recipe, just so I didn't waste any hops. I put the yeast in a starter while I was brewing. The fermentation went bonkers and blew the top off the bucket twice. The foam stayed on this beer for a long time, that is the reason for the 19 days in the primary fermenter. Nice and smooth with a touch of sweet and a characteristic Belgian Abbey yeast finish. It can kick your butt! My version got named "Psychedelic Monk".
