Existent represents the philosophy behind Stillwater Artisanal. We strive to define ourselves through our passion and sincerity while accepting that not all aspects of life are readily explainable. To manifest this ideology we present an ale of intrigue. Deep & dark though deceptively dry, braced by a firm yet smooth bitterness and accented with an earthy hop and mild roast aroma. This is an ale for you to define..

’and if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.’ –Nietzsche

Note: Formerly brewed at Dog, now at Two Roads.

Haven't had this for ages. Not since I started ratebeering. Damn I had some good beers before I started this. Aroma is lightly roasty, bit saison like, touch of citrus, bit spicy, peppery. Taste is good, porter like fruitiness, quite dry, dark saison I guess. Pepper again, little bit of sweetness, some chocolate. Yum.

Medium brown, tart and maybe a fair bit of coffee. With a tartness, it’s not my favourite.

From the bottle. Pours rather dark with average quantity of cappuccino-coloured foam. Aroma is intense of licorice, fruits under spirits. Body is medium-dense. Taste is not too sweet, with some bitterness coming out afterwards. Finish is dry.
