Description: Before the large breweries came to prominence in the 19th century, many county houses and estates brewed beer for the land owners and their workers. Strong stock ales were brewed during the autumn and laid down in wood to mature. These beers would have used local ingredients and would have almost certainly been assisted in their aging by the Brettanomyces (wild yeast) that reside in the wood. Our recreation is made with our own well water, Organic Suffolk barley, English Organic Goldings hops and aged in wood with a mixed culture of wild yeasts and bacteria. We have used large quantities of whole hops to act as an antiseptic and brewed the beer at the start of the colder British months to give the wild yeast an advantage, just as the brewers did 200 years ago. A heady aroma of sweet malts, floral hops and funk is followed by a complex yet drinkable flavour of bitter grassy hops, slight candy sugar and earthy musty yeast. 10.5%ABV 330ml. Brewed 13/11/16.
