The story goes that an early taster of this beer style called it a "real devil," so brewers often name their Belgian Golden Strong Ale accordingly. A rich glass of Old Scratch will have subtle but noticeable bittering hops; a clean, golden, malt backbone; and fruity esters with spicy phenols. Dry hopping lends a fine, spicy, hop aroma. This one's got a dry finish, with Booster substituting for more traditional Belgian candi sugar. Strong and not too boozy, Old Scratch will need some conditioning time in the bottles to mellow out.

    Great Recipe! Excellent Belgian

    I bought this last winter as a winter/spring beer. This was one of the best recipes Mr Beer has. Even my friends said this was one of the best ones they've tried. It has a lot of malty flavor but just the right amount of hops. Definitely want to make again with possibly some grain/mash supplemental additions. This was my first recipe with booster it was a pain getting it to un-clump in the water. Be sure to watch fermentation temps I kept my apartment heat low trying to maintain low fermentation temps. The conditioning was recommended at 6-8 weeks when I bought it for a total brew time of about 3 months. Although its hard I recommend letting it bottle age/condition that long for maximum enjoyment.

    Wow!

    Even though I love Belgian beers and have been brewing with MRB for a few years this is the first time I’ve tried Old Scratch. I let it age for about 6 weeks before trying the first one. It was worth the wait … and then some. Fantastic beer!
