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.

473mL can, pours dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is rather chocolatey/dry cocoa character, toasted nuts, some earthiness, and crusty bread. Flavour is surprisingly deep and rich for a Czech dunkel -- damn -- with chocolatey malt, dry cocoa, some earthiness, moderate toasted notes, and crusty rye bread. Dry, cocoa-y and toasty. This is impressive for the style.

Poured from 473mL can (thanks Taylor). Clear orange gold with white head. Aroma is a bit metallic, taste is better with a nice malt backing and mild resinous hops underlying. Decent.

5.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
473mL can, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out herbal and grassy notes, straw, and biscuity malt. Flavour is light, with gentle grass, some straw, and bready malt. Seems to be lacking hops, as there's not much bitterness/crispness. Rather underwhelming.

Gold, Not much head. The aroma is a bit grassy, with a soft pale malt note. It's got a mild minty sort of herbaceous hop, and slightly sticky malt. Good body, low bitterness. Decent, would like the malt to be a bit more expressive.

Really nice. Perfect example of a saison style. It lingers and … makes you wanna drink another!
