Feathers, Bone Chimes & Eternal Rest

Feathers, Bone Chimes & Eternal Rest is a collaborative strong dark ale, brewed in collaboration with our strong beer sensei - HORUS Aged Ales. For this beer, Kyle took us under his wings to guide us through his thoughts and process on the production of strong, viscous, and fulfilling beers. The base of F.B.C.E.R. was brewed with copious amounts of specialty malts including maris otter, crystal, oat & wheat malts. This combination of malts yielded a heavy wort that was then boiled for 5 hours to achieve full viscosity and increased in gravity with the addition of turbinado sugar. Post fermentation, the resultant beer is rich and pallet coating.

We then split the beer into 3 separate expressions; one portion being packaged “straight”, with no adjuncts and a slightly lower carbonation. The second conditioned HEAVILY on Vanilla to add aromatics and texture. The 3rd on over 800 pounds of coconut which transformed the beer with huge coconut flavor and even more silky mouthfeel.

All 3 variants are decadent, strong, lush and lend a nuanced drinking experience that pairs best with slow evenings, good friends, and eternal rest.
