Boskoops Bodengraven Bier
Roel Mulder wrote the book "De Verloren Bieren van Nederland" (The Lost Beers of The Netherlands), and one of the old recipes from around 1850 was the "Bodegraven Brown Stout", with one of it its ingredients an old herb 'scharlei'. This beer is the modern version, with 'scharlei' from a grower from Boskoop and grown in my own garden, and taking into account the modern barleys and hops. The herb base has been kept the same, which has resulted in a heavy and herbal Ale.I had some more 'scharlei' in the freezer, so this recipe has been repeated again in 2019, and... thre are already a few new scharlei-plants in the garden!
Recommended drinking temperature: 8...12 oC
