Candy Sugar Dark (Pieces)
Candy Sugar Dark (Pieces) is a Belgian sugar commonly used in brewing, especially in stronger Belgian beers such as dubbel and tripel. Chemically, it is an invert sugar, one that has been converted from sucrose to a mixture of fructose and glucose by heating with water and some acid (usually citric acid). It is used to boost the alcohol content without adding extra body to the beer, and without forcing the yeast to produce invertase.

Barley Wine
Barley Wine is a strong, top-fermenting ale, with an alcohol contents of at least 8% and up to 12% (or more) by volume. It is called a barley wine because it can be as strong as wine; but since it is made from grain rather than fruit, it is, in fact, a beer. Serve this beer in a special glass, that will concentrate the aroma. It is excellent with cigars or with dessert.
