CHAPTER 2

BARREL-AGED BARLEY WINE

So closes our second chapter…

 For Chapter 2 we have lovingly barrel-aged our Now & Then Barley Wine in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. This 11.9% beer is wildly complex, with all sorts of malt goodness going on. It has big notes of raisin, dried fruit and caramel with underlying notes of coconut, vanilla and oak. It is full-bodied and luscious and chewy and is tasting incredible right now, but like our Chapter 1 beers it will continue to age gracefully for years to come.

STYLE: Sherry Barrel-Aged Wee Heavy

NOCTURNE

DUNKELWEIZEN

Listen to cicadas. Watch the sun set. Breath more slowly. Read a good novel. Gaze at the stars. Let gentle music wrap around you. Embrace your lover. As the world around you slowly goes to sleep, reflect on a day well done and raise a toast to yourself.
.
Nocturne Dunkelweizen – the darker sister of our Rise & Shine Hefeweizen – is like liquid banana bread. Experimental hop HBC-472 and its gentle oak notes complement the banana aromas from the German yeast strain and the light chocolate notes from the malt. This dark wheat beer is full-bodied and fluffy from the ample additions of wheat. It’s a glorious shade of light mahogany, like the early evening light. Close your eyes and enjoy our Nocturne. This day is yours.

NOW & THEN

BARLEY WINE

Now and then, you want a beer that shines the light on complex and intense malt flavours. Now and then, you want a wintertime sipper that has a rich, chewy body and a gentle alcohol warmth that’ll see you through to spring. You may not want to drink barley wine every day but now and then – when the mercury dips, the dark night feels close and a slow-cooked meal is simmering on the stove - it’s just the ticket. Get it now, even if you won’t drink it until then. This beer will age beautifully and develop a more rounded body and port-like notes of dried fruit

With some crisp acidity added into the mix, the beer is brought to glorious life. Welcome to Technicolour Dreamworld, where the flavours are sharper and the aromas brighter. Step into a bold new world of taste!

HERE & NOW

BROWN ALE

This outrageously unique beer started life as a brown ale; nutty, chocolatey and rich. It’s almost exclusively made with Alberta malt from Origin Malting and Red Shed Malting. We dry-hopped it with an experimental hop called HBC 472 - which sounds like a sci-fi bad guy and is about as weird. You’ll notice aromas of oak, coconut, bourbon, pineapple, vanilla, peach and a skiff of cinnamon. Yep, all from one hop. It’s unusual alright. In an awesomely mind-blowing way.

STYLE: Brown Ale

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Toasty & Nutty
