Still is a single barrel bottling of four year old beer, brewed in March 2018. We have been hoping to find a barrel that would have enough character and bite to exist without the need for carbonation. The wort was made using a turbid mash and underwent an extended boil with large quantities of aged hops. After two nights in our coolship, the wort was transferred to a single 500 litre barrel for four years of fermentation and maturation. The resulting beer was bottled still, without the addition of sugar to produce a refermentation. It has a significant richness for the abv, balanced by a striking hop bitterness, and lingering tannin from the four years in oak.

Bottle at Riverside Beer Fest 22. Aroma is big and vinous verging on fruit Vinegar. Clear amber gold. Bubbly translucent white head just sticks to the inner rim. Heavy bitter. Vinous. Cider. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. I'm probably too much of a dumb schmuck to get this?¡

750ml bottle, from the source. Pours opaque copper amber with no head. Aroma: hugely funky, oak, blue cheese, stewed apples. Taste: dry, funky, moderate tartness, caramel, light vinous. Hints of a sour, funky English bitter. Low/no carbonation. Medium body, a little watery. I feel that the spritz of some carbonation would have improved the taste experience. Interesting to try though!
