Back in Feb 2020 we brewed four of the largest mashes ever at Galway Bay to collect one full tank of super-high gravity wort. This all-malt 33 Plato stout Is the biggest beer we’ve made to date. Lagered in a steel tank for 1 year before aging in Bourbon & Rum barrels for an additional 9 months. This decadent stout oozes chocolate, cocoa & finished with a kiss of salted caramel. Bottled December 2021. Drink fresh or age cold.

Puszka 44cl (BB 23.02.2023). Gorzka czekolada skontrowana słodyczą likierowo-owocowego alkoholu, co daje gorzką na początku i słodką na finiszu kompozycję smaków, całość pełna w odbiorze, treściwa, całkiem smaczna choć na dłuższą metę za dużo słodyczy.
