Barleywine-Style Ale Brewed with Date Sugar and Granite
We've teamed up with our great friends at TAPS Brewery out of Brea for this beer and we made one of our most complicated beers to date. An amalgamation of a barley wine with a traditional stein beer, this strong, brown ale has an extra level of caramel complexity brought on by our use of granite rocks that were heated to 900º and added to the wort along with a generous addition of date sugar for added gravity. A Stein's Throw is rich with fruity esters and toffee richness, but finishes dry after being fermented with proprietary yeast strains from both The Bruery and TAPS

Bottle at The Tulip Bodegraven. Fruity sweetish dates. Almost flemish sour but too sweet. Likeable. Ken and me talking about Geddy Lee bass playing. Cool

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours a clear deep burnt orange with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice sweet grain note with a touch of light fruit and a good amount of caramel. Flavor starts with sweet grains and caramel and has some dates and light fruits through the finish. A touch on the thin side.

Bottle @ ZZT VII, thx to everyone for sharing their bottles. Aroma has lots of caramel malt, some toasted notes, raisin. Some burned caramel in taste, too alcoholic. Somehow there’s something nasty that doesnt attract me at all to this brew.
