Edith (1897-1992) was our grandfather’s sister, and Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to her and her 13 siblings. In her honor, this dark Farmstead® ale is crafted from American malted barley, German roasted malts, European hops, our farmhouse yeast, and water from our well. Unfiltered and naturally carbonated, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Edith.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a beige head. A big malty chocolate nose. The flavor is sour, chocolate, ash, grainy sourness. The roast mixes well with the sourness.

Bouteille 750ml, 2014. Couleur brun très foncé tirant sur le noir, mousse moka crémeuse laissant une belle dentelle. Arôme de levures sauvages, malt torréfié, boisé, vineux. Goût de malt torréfié, levures sauvages, légère acidité, vineux, boisé, café léger en fin de bouche. Carbonatation moyenne, corps moyen, texture propre à Hill Farmstead. Bien intéressant!

Bottle thanks to Greg. Pours a cloudy brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is an earthy pine, roast, and some brett. Medium mouthfeel with nice funk, mineral, roast, bready malt. Very good.

Bottle @ "Er Klopt Iemand Op De Deur" Samson & Gert Bierproeving I. Thanks Chris! Dark brown colour, light brown foam. Medium carbonation. Aroma of roasted malts and coffee with sour vinegar notes. Not very well balanced. Strange mix of flavours.

Huge dark beige-brown head, stable, with lace over jet-black beer. Aromatic nose with tantalizing hints at USA hops, roast, and dried herbs as laurel. Sourishness as from stoutroast, but the roastiness itself is very subdued in the mouth; hints at other grains. Finish has some fruity sourness. Light body, lively carbonation, quite slick. Not very outspoken - which is probably its strength. Farmhouse? amen - Saison? please!!

750 ml. bottle sampled @ "Er Klopt Iemand Op De Deur" Samson & Gert Bierproeving I. Thanks to Chris! Large dark head, fair lacing, hazy body, black / very dark brown. Average malt, nutty, cereal, dark fruits, brett, port, plum, bitter roast, liquorish, roasted coffee, leather, barnyard, light vinegar, sour berries. Medium, grainy, fizzy carbonation, heavy roast, moderate acidity. Somewhat baffling beer, it is almost like they intentionally try to mimic a spoiled Belgian beer. Not bad but a very strange mix of flavours, I am starting to question Hill Farmstead’s divinity.
