Spilled Ink

Описание

Spilled Ink is an Imperial Stout, fermented initially with Arset Kveik (a Norweigan farmhouse ale culture) in our stainless steel fermenters for one month and then aged for seven months in french oak wine barrels with a mixed culture of saccharomyces and a couple of our favourite strains of brettanomyces. The brettanomyces in this beer adds a ton of depth on the palate and gifts the beer with a moderately dry finish despite its strength and extreme depth of roast and caramel flavours. We followed this up with four more months of conditioning time in bottles. If you’ve been counting, that is 12 full months!This beer has certainly taken the scenic route to the finished product on our shelves - you may have managed to sneak a taste from the single keg we brought to Fest of Ale this year, or perhaps even last summer when we brought a single keg to the “Bowl Against the Brewers” food bank fundraiser at McCurdy bowl prior to the rest of the batch undergoing it’s slow secondary fermentation in the barrels.
