9% Alc/Vol. Bottle and Keg Conditioned. 12+ weeks old at release. Nano batch, 200 litres. Vegan. Label art: Michael O’Brien. Seasonal. Our super Saison Tripel. A fullah called Mike Cheer, labelled a Craftwork Brewer as an Old Relic. That made us think of a new recipe… The initial brew day occurred on 24th march; William Morris’s birthday.. The French saison yeast we love with a strong grain bill, creating this unusual strong amber-coloured ale. Great for cellar aging. Food pairing: Christmas dinner, any cheese, game, rich fruity desserts, steamed pud’, chocolate, nougat, port, whisky, Next morning: rata, or manuka honey on toast. Foamy dense head that lasts. Subtle spice aroma. Intense fruit and vanilla hint of white wine and dry finish with looong flavour, Biscuity goodness with a slight spicy tang and solid bitterness. Rich caramel notes, oak, sweet spice. Wonderfully balanced beer, Brandy on the nose. Beautifully golden/amber. Very rich. Toffee malt and sweet. Sparkling. Complex almost like an aged whisky.
