If you can get your hands on it try the Belgian Dark Syrup.

Here is what I came up with. For the Amber Cabdi Sugar, I made my own from corn Syrup.I split this batch between two carboys. About 3 gallons with 3787 Trappist yeast and 3 gallons with Safale S05 and S33.I also added 1 can of Cherries to the primary for each.We'll see how it turns out.Bourbon Barrel QuadA ProMash Recipe ReportRecipe Specifics----------------Batch Size (Gal): 7.00 Wort Size (Gal): 7.00Total Grain (Lbs): 27.50Anticipated OG: 1.106 Plato: 25.08Anticipated SRM: 28.0Anticipated IBU: 26.4Brewhouse Efficiency: 68 %Wort Boil Time: 90 MinutesFormulas Used-------------Brewhouse Efficiency and Predicted Gravity based on Method #1, Potential Used.Final Gravity Calculation Based on Points.Hard Value of Sucrose applied.
