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.

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

Cloudy pale golden, tall and loose foamy white head, lasts for some time, patchy lacing. Sour aroma, lemon, vinegar, barnyard, oakey notes in the distance. Sour taste, lemon, brett, funky barnyard, touch of oak. Light body, lively carbonation, bitterness in the sour aftertaste, oak more prominent, good.

A hazed golden saison with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light Brett, ground cherry, light lactic and Epsom salts, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with Brett, coriander, pleasant and smooth. Bottle from Sébastien.
