ROOFBOX is becoming a wonderful annual Wren Day tradition here after how much we enjoyed last years batch. Keeping the 12 hour boil for that rich and complex brown sugar flavor complementing this beers bold malt backbone. We used the same yeast blend, but fermented slightly cooler creating a smoother finish bringing out a neat fig flavor. Upping our yield this year to both cellar and to rest a portion of this batch on freshly dumped whiskey barrels. We’re still loving our first batches cellared portion, and look forward to how these are changing with time.

Sweet and lightly toasted malty with notes of toffee, fudge, caramel, nice dried fruit and spices in play, lightly caramelised brown sugar sprinkle, medium plus body, whisky kissed warming lingering malty close. Going well with the Bangers & Mash 👌

Bottle pours with a clear mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up malt smoothed out plums and dates and a bit of raisins and cherry as well as faint molasses and caramel. into the end of the draw I get a fair whiff of booziness. Nice. The taste delivers smooth soft sweet malts blended into a thin ribbon of sweet smooth caramel. Just beyond the malts notes of sweet dates, raisins and plums join in as a modest level of booziness rises out of the liquid. This comes across a little on the sweet side but still makes for a nice sipping experience.
