Fire is a non-adjunct stout we’re really proud of, brewed in collaboration with Crisp Malt. We got to use two of their heritage malts in this 100% English ingredient stout. Chevallier® Heritage Malt, grown since 1820 and the dominant barley variety in England until 1920, is the backbone of many Victorian ales. It brings deep flavors, robust maltiness, and a rich marmalade-like character. Then there’s Plumage Archer® Malt, the first commercially produced cross-bred barley, which had a similar impact on brewing as Chevallier. For years, they stood side by side, each adding its own nuance to 20th-century British beers. Our brewers love the subtle taste and clean finish of Plumage Archer. In this brew, both malts are used in equal parts. We also added Bramling Cross hops, which give notes of blackberries, spices, and wood, and East Kent Goldings hops, which are earthy, a bit bitter, but also have a hint of honey. This beer is quadruple mashed to get the most flavor out of these special ingredients. The result? Pure, thick, and robust. Cheers!

Jet black pour with a beige head. Nose is big toast, dark sugars, dark fruits and licorice with a hint of caramel, pleasant and promising. Flavor is earthy (not roasty tho!), chocolatey with hints of licorice, caramel and very dark bread, the finish is cacao and dark sugars once again. Super smooth, silky bodied, feels medium to big, not the thickest Moers stout out there. The finish closes fast, the pH feels a touch low perhaps. Cool malt-forward stout with low roast level, my cup of tea

(Draft at Uiltje Craft Beer Bar, Haarlem, 20 Feb 2025) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with black coffee, liquorice, black-currant and blueberries. Malty, roasted taste with notes of black coffee, cacao, liquorice, cinnamon and a balanced coffee bitterness. Full body, with a touch of sweetness. Rich, powerful and tasty. Very nice.

Pours really black brown, large smooth very very nice looking brown head with bubbles on top. looks totally awesome. Surprisingly mild aroma, salty wood, roasted malts. Aroma is very good, super clean and very roasted malty but it is extremely faint so that drags the overall score well below where it could be.
palate and texture is INSANE. one of the thickest imp stouts i ever tasted, it's like cake cream thick, chewwy. very smooth also. a fantastic sipper. there are faint flavor notes of dark dried fruits and then layers of roasted malts, not much else. a roasted malty stout like they used to be. only insanely heav and potent. alc. is well hidden. a great sipper.

Op tap bij Arendsnest. Zwarte kleur, beige kraag. Soyasaus, zoet, dik, iets romig, wat chocolade maar toch vooral zoete soyasaus. Volle body. Had hier meer van verwacht.
