He called his beer Bush the translation of the family name. The recipe has remained unchanged for 79 years longer than any other Belgian beer.It is hard to believe that Scaldis is 12 ABV. Beers this strong are generally quite heavy and sweet. Scaldis by contrast is quite dry with a pleasant nutty finish. Remarkably Scaldis achieves its strength entirely through fermentation ¡ªwithout evaporating or freezing water to concentrate alcohol. Three different malts go into Scaldis making it a beer with as much nuance as potency. Woodsy toasty sherry nose with caramel toffee candied pineapple and prune notes.
