Description
It all began with during a trip in 2017 that woke in us the passion for craft beer. Once back in Portugal, eager to discover and try new beer styles, we went after the places that were able to provide us exactly that.

However, we found not only the places, but also amazing people that soon became friends and with whom we have been since able to share that same passion.

The curiosity over all the brewing process took us to the next step: training, a lot of reading and of course, many small batches produced in order to improve our recipes.

Initially for our own consumption (homebrewing), and with a production capability from 16 to 40 lts depending on style, we continued producing the beer styles we liked the most.

Today we want to share that passion.

Definitely oloroso. Lots of sherry. Roast and some lime. Black pour with good head and lacing. Certainly a booze bomb but the bagel aged lovers may like. Booze bittersweet end. Bottle at Outro Lado.

Shared with the boys at BBT 11/2021. Full body, medium carbonation. Very intense, very strong. Assertively boozy, with medium-high alcoholic warmth, rounded, but quite strong. Oily texture. Lots of chocolate, sherry, cherry. Very intense, but lacking any kind of chochmes. Quite good, but not great.
