Phase Three Brewing

Double Strawberry Chantilly is a decadently plush Double IPA that bridges the gap between a high-gravity ale and a fruit-forward dessert. This 9% ABV powerhouse presents an intense bouquet of sun-ripened strawberries and vanilla-laced cream, supported by a subtle tropical hop presence. The malt profile is soft and bready, providing a sturdy foundation for the heavy addition of lactose which enhances the beer’s rich, velvety texture. While the bitterness remains present to balance the significant residual sweetness, the focus remains firmly on the lush, jammy berry character. It concludes with a warming, smooth finish that leaves a lingering impression of strawberry shortcake.

Appearance. SRM 6-9. Deep gold to light orange with a pronounced, opaque haze. Features a dense, persistent, creamy off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of fresh, juicy strawberries and sweet vanilla cream. Beneath the fruit lies a layer of tropical hop notes—reminiscent of mango and passion fruit—and a clean, lightly doughy malt character with no harsh alcohol notes.

Taste. Bold initial impression of strawberry purée and sweetened cream. Moderate hop bitterness provides a necessary counterpoint to the lactose sweetness, remaining firm but smooth. Flavors of tropical fruit and berry persist through the mid-palate against a supportive, neutral malt background. The finish is long and sweet with a well-integrated alcohol warmth and a clean, fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a rich, velvety, and ultra-creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present without being solventy. No hop-derived astringency.
