Wood Fired Porter
We love Winter here at Stone & Wood.
Because as the darker days of the year start to creep in, it’s a signal to our brewers that the season of the Stone has begun.
It starts with the brewing of our decadent, limited-release wood fired porter and ends in our biggest party of the year – Festival of The Stone.
Every year, our brewers begin the Stone Beer brew by employing ancient techniques of setting fire stones in the kettle. On this year’s Stone Brew Day, we invited legends of the local hospitality game down to help us start the story of Stone Beer 2022 and breathe fire into this year’s legend.
We make a slight twist to the Stone Beer recipe each year, but the element of 2022’s brew we’re most proud of is the use of regenerative grain. Grain is the base of every great beer and the crop we sourced from this year, comes from farms that replenish and restore the earth they toil, a way of farming that’s soft on the soil and sustainable for years to come.
Stone Beer 2022 was made with a range of the highest quality Australian malts from Voyager Craft Malt and native wattle-seed. Pouring dark brown, this decadent brew begins with rich and chocolatey aromas, followed by dark chocolate, coffee, caramel and toffee flavours on the palate and finishes with a firm bitterness.
HOPS: Tettnang
MALTS: Barret’s pale, Voyager Chocolate, Voyager Voodoo, Voyager SM40, Voyager Biscuit, Voyager Amber.
YEAST: New England Ale Yeast
OTHER: Ground Wattleseed

A nice porter with aromas of belgian chocolate, toffee and lemon drops. Not too thick, but a little velvety nonetheless, with that chocolate and some grapefruit dominating the finish.

Bottle. Dark brown with a cm of beige head. Singed dark sugar aroma with hints of smoke. Pretty light bodied with singed dark caramel, a little roast and smoke, decent bitterness. Perhaps a little drier than some years. Good as usual.
