I thought "torrefied" usually meant puffed, like popcorn.  Funnily, 
this word isn't in my dictionary - it usually has everything I look for. 
I've used torrefied barley in home-brews before and it gives a nice nutty  
flavor.  So, I was wondering how you could pop barley that had already  
been "cooked". 

 
Does DeWolf-Cosyns call this "torrefied malt", or do you have another, 
less ambiguous list of ingredients for De Dolle brews?

Hmmm... I think he mentions it, but I can't really remember.  This 
is my last day at Rational and I've already packed away all my books. 
I start a new job tomorrow, and I'll be resubscribing to the Lambic 
Digest as soon as I can, but it might be a few days before I unpack 
the Almanac.  I'll take a look then and see what I can tell you. 

 
I also have a large collection of CAMRA's What's Brewing newspapers. 
I'm sure one of Michael Jackson's columns was about De Dolle Brewers, 
so I'll have a search for that, too.

It's good to hear these beers are reaching at least part of the US. 
Here's hoping they make it as far as California...
