With this special brew, Batch One, we dared to experiment with combining our usual devotion to a solid malt profile with the addition of American aroma hops. Batch One is an American-inspired Ale characterized by its vast, full body and generous use of hops. In the glass, it has a reddish-brown colour with a coppery glow, and a beige-coloured head leaves a nice lacing behind. For this brew we have chosen to only use the noble Simcoe hop, both for boiling and the following dry-hopping. The hops give the beer its fresh citrus-like character and impart a solid bitterness to balance the sweet caramel malt.

16.9oz bottle, aged the better part of a year in my closet. Unfiltered brown-red color, oily off-white head, some soapy edges. Assumably the hops have faded a little, which is unfortunate. There is some mild earthy bitterness, but way more rich caramel, bourbon candy like boozy sweetness. While it does have the rich resinous hoppy feel of a good US Barleywine, there are also mellow, malty fruity ale tones not unlike an Old Ale. Significantly thicker and deeper in color as i poured out the second half of the bottle, giving it a creamier, yeastier mouthfeel. Quite a nice Barleywine!

My first beer from this brewery and I am not at all impressed. +++ Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer poured a murky dark brown color with a small creamy tan head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was pleasantly funky and bready with notes of sour caramel, faint molasses, cherry and licorice. The flavor was bitter and astringent with elements of wood, earth, must, bread, funk, chalk, bubblegum. leather, tobacco and smoke. For all the complexity there was a pervading offness almost rancidness that totally spoiled what seemed to have the potential to be a decent brew. I wonder if some sort of infection was present. Long finish. fairly full bodied. Some promise here but I ended up dumping it.
