Description
Founded in 2013, we are not just Worthington's only craft brewery, we are unique in that we focus on high gravity, full bodied ales. Body is the sensation of fullness of a beer on the palate, while gravity refers to the dissolution of sugars during fermentation, which results in a beer’s alcoholic strength. Full body, high gravity means a big mouth feel and a generally higher alcohol by volume percentage. You don't pound these down, you sip slowly and savor the goodness.

Big beers only. It’s what we do.

Bottle from vintage estate. Malty nose. Has a darker maroon attitude about the eye. Quite malty first impact. Yes, alky with a somewhat peat feel to it. More personality than most red ales. Gets a little difficult in the middle. Some back of throat interesting funny stuff. Yes, funny little leprechaun, heheheh. An Irish, or should I say a wee heavy Scottish ale for the doe-mestick crowd of the you, ess of aye! LOL. There, you have it, it finally ends with a milky malt finish.
