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 at home Attenkirchen, Saturday 18th April 2020, on day 31 of CORVID-19 enforced lockdown, we are cooking White Bean, Grilled Pepper and Mozzarella burgers with a Fresh Tomato Relish also doing Smoked Carrot and Carroway Dip with Crispbread we're listening to Fonda Mentalism - Mind on Reverse (EP) btw it's yet another glorious day, but we did see our first rain for about 2-3 weeks! Pours hazy gold with a white head. Subtle is the name of the game here, the dry hoppiness is noticeable, it's fresh and dry, easy drinking, simple and uncomplicated, Brett also subtle. A light touch of lemon, good beer.

Cloudy dirty gold with a decent white head. Cooked peaches and light baking spice. Nice light peach and a clean finish. Nice.

Bottle. Doesn't look great - sort of dull, and low carbonation. On the nose it comes across fairly bretty, but on the palate it's fairly sweet, soft. Maybe a bit of brett, and the peach character comes through but in a mild mannered way.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out gently tart, fresh peaches upfront, with some saison yeast. Flavour is very juicy, with lots of tart, juicy peaches, a little farmhouse character. Not getting the wine barrels at all. Really nice juicy peach character, with just enough subtle tartness. Not overly complex, but very enjoyable.

Bottle pour at Weathered, pours a dark amber with a small beige head. Nose brings out lovely sherry-like oxidation, toasted caramel, and dark fruits. Flavour is boozier, with lots of sherry-like oxidation, and bready malt. Nicely balanced, with the barrels really showcasing well. Good stuff.

Taster on Weathered. Appearance: hay copper, beige head. Aroma: sherry, cherries, nice. Taste: more on the sour side with cherry and barrel notes, a bit thin for the ABV. Overall: it is good, but it is nore sour, than Old Ale.
