Description
Our philosophy is to brew beer with the adventurous craft beer drinker in mind—focusing on hand-crafted, small batches of beer, using local, seasonal and organic ingredients as much as possible.
Our beers are influenced mostly by Belgian and American craft styles, but the addition of premium ingredients such as fruits, spices or wild yeast strains sometimes causes the beers to defy traditional categories. Our barrel aging program features a wide variety of beers aged in wine and spirits barrels, ranging from a Rye barrel-aged Mexican Chocolate Stout to a wild yeast-fermented Saison aged on Missouri wine grapes in French oak wine barrels. We strive to always achieve balance with each of our recipes, making our beers exceptional with food.

Sweetish, caramely malty and slightly roasty with some toffee, prunes, figs, rye, syrup, barrel, bourbon, chocolate and vanilla. Quite complex and pretty balanced, perhaps slightly on the sweet side, and surprisingly thin body for the ABV.

Intense coffee bean overdose with some sweet milky chocolate sauce, vanilla, bourbon barrel heat, hints of oakiness, cocoa, roastiness and creaminess. Pretty complex and balanced, lactose notes are also really subtle. Tasty coffee stout.

Can from Kerrera, Guildford. Opaque amber-gold. Foamy translucent white head. Aroma is malty and earthy with a yeastie edge. Flavourwise there's light citrusy sourness with a ligher metallic edge, over doughy malts. Develops a sherbert sweetness and more peripheral grainy bitterness. Light. Slick. Soft lazy fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish.

Pint can, 2025 vintage. Coffee aroma with notes of caramel, roasted malt, chocolate, lactose sugar and nutty malt. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has little retention and a thin ring of lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, chocolate and caramel flavors as well as having a rich, full body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes quite smooth with coffee, lactose sugar and nutty malt flavors. Definitely one of the better coffee stouts out there.

Pours clear blonde, fairly large white head. Scent is doughy, malty, mild brett, some wood. Buttery funk. Taste is Mcuh more acidic than anticipated. Actually quite sharp and dry, not acetic at all, but so harsh - true AmLam. VERY high carbonation. Not very balanced at all. Quite harsh and way to sharp. Not amongst the better AmLams, let alone to call this 'lambic style'... As it warms up, shows quite a bit of band-aid. Turns funky acetic... Ended up as a drainpour. Underwhelming for sure.
