6 hours of heat. Zero shortcuts. All flavor.
We boiled this stout for a full six hours, pushing the boundaries of caramelization and unlocking deep layers of flavor through the Maillard reaction. Never heard of it? It’s the same delicious science that gives toasted bread, seared steak, and roasted coffee their signature taste.
As heat transforms sugars and amino acids in the malt, the brew turns darker, richer, and more complex. Think coffee, dark chocolate, toasted crusts—all without adding a single adjunct. Just barley, rye, hops, yeast… and time.
