Description
Stillwell Brewing is the brewery off-shoot of Halifax craft beer bar Stillwell. We are a small brewing project focussing on oak-fermented, bottle conditioned farmhouse-style ales that are subtle, balanced and unique to our brewery. We’re brewing on a very old, very manual 15bbl, two-vessel steam-powered brewhouse. We also make draught-only lagers for Stillwell, Stillwell Beergarden & The Stillwell Freehouse.

On tap at Farmhouse Festival 2018, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out moderate farmhouse funk, with bitter yeast. Flavour is similar, with barnyard funk, some bitter yeast and biscuity malt. Nicely funky, but not terribly complex. Solid stuff.

Bottle: Poured a dirty yellow color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of rustic malt notes with some dry Brett notes with light spicy/peppery notes is quite enticing. Taste is a mix of dry rustic malt notes with some spicy/peppery notes and light dry Brett notes. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Wonderful saison and something I wish I would have access to more regularly.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a huge white foamy head with excellent retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry rustic malt notes with light dry Brett notes with some funky floral notes is just about perfect. Taste is a great mix of dry rustic malt notes with some funky Brett notes with a dry hay finish. Body is about average with great carbonation. Love the dry malt base with light spicy undertones and great drinkability with well-balanced Brett notes.
