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 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.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy rusted dark red with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of Muscat grape skins, lots of oak, saison yeast, and a touch of tartness. Flavour is very oaky, with lots of harsh oaky wood, saison yeast, and some musty dry grape skins. Oaky and musty finish. A little harsh but tasty enough.

It's a lightish purple, opaque, not much head. Nice grapey aroma to this, with a bit of buggy complexity. But on the palate, it comes across very light, without a lot of sugar support but nor is it all that dry. So odd that way. A bit of toastiness, so wonder if that's from the barrel.

Flaska från Etre Gourmete. Disig ljusgul vätska, rejält disig i sista tredjedleen. Lågt skum. Mustig doft av ladugård, lite svavel, funk, druvor, citrus, strå. Smaken beskedligare, vitt vin med mycket tanniner, mjuk syra och lite gödsel som ligger och lurar i bakgrunden. Trevlig trots en del lite märkliga inslag.

Flaska från Etre Gourmete. Dsig gyllengul vätska med ett lågt frasigt vitt skum. Funkig frisk doft med strå, citrus och plommon. Småbubblig munkänsla, torr, ganska snäll syra, funk, lätt fruktig med smak av syrliga gula plommon. Pigg och trevlig med fina funk och fruktighet. Gott

Ta dzikosc kapke w apteke wpada, chyba lepiej tego nie trzymac za dlugo. Ale tez jakies mile dzikie nitki, sianowato-skorzane. Winogronka klasa. Duza wytrawnisc. Nie przeszkadzajacy hint octu. Calosciowo bdb
