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.

Bottle, from 2018. Hazy, no head. There's a light brett note, with a hint of pale malt in there. The lime and salt are fairly prominent in this as well. Complex tartness, nice balance. The malt sweetness rounds it out. Good stuff.

500ml bottle. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Aroma of funky Brett, oak, peach, pineapple, lemon and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy malt, lemon, pineapple, white grape, funky Brett, oak, floral hops and a hint of black pepper in a dry, tart, acidic finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Tasty and easy to drink. Nice complexity.

(On tap @ Birreria Volo, Toronto, Sept 28/19) Limited notes due to post-Witchstock revelry. Lightly tart and fruity farmhouse with some lemon and subtle yellow plum, light sweet/tart/bitter mix, soft barrel notes, a little funk. Quite competent brewing but everything felt a bit too dialled back for me, maybe palate just blown after a beer festival.

750 ml bottle. Pours a murky tea-like brown with little head. Aromas of new leather, sweetened citrus, herbs, and BO. Flavors of overripe fruit, oak, wheat, and farmhouse yeasts. Bit of an odd jumble. Not coming together for me. Bottled 2018 so may be past it's prime...

Bottle picked up from Etre Gourmet, Grez-Doiceau, Belgium and consumed on Asterion II, Anek Lines RoRo ferry en route from Igoumenitsa, Greece to Venice, Italy Friday 18th September 2020. Pours dark reddy, murky brown colour with a light beige head. Quite a bit more acidic than expected, think balsamic, malty, woody, bretty in fact there is a distinct nod towards Rodenbach territory, it's funky, furry and zappy. Good, in fact very good, however not what I was expecting.
