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..

Dark amber color with big tan head. Smells very Belgian, yeasty, malty, bananas, bread, dark malts. Taste goes back and forth between a blonde belgian ale and dark malts. Smooth mouthfeel. Nice, but it has a weird switch between dark malts and fresh belgian banana yeast feeling.

Draught at Erzbierschof’s Bar Krone, Bern
Black color, compact beige head. Mild aroma of milky dark malts. Lean body, dynamic mouthfeel, some roasted malt, not ashy or burnt, moderately sweet, with a touch of chocolate, some yeast character, correctly bitter.
A good beer, nothing surprising though.

12oz bottle from Mitsuya’s in Asagaya, Tokyo. Poured into a snifter. Dark prune color with minimal tan head. Nice oak and malt aroma present with a hint of spice. Dark fruit on the palate. Undertones of chocolate, brown sugar present. Alcohol taste is present as well. Solid Belgian style farmhouse. --- Beer merged from original tick of Stillwater Existent on 30 Mar 2015 at 14:59 - Score: 8

355ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Vika. The noisy pour reveals a clear dark brown coloured body. Dissipating fawn-coloured head, fragile lacing. Aroma of dark bread alongside hints of liquorice and dark fruits. Blended flavour profile of dark malts, chocolate and caramel, herbs, and dark fruits, mild anise to it. Roasted bitter finish. Fine bodied. Perfect nightcap (hotel room, Oslo 09.12.2014).
