We partnered up with our buds Little Brother Brewing to bring you this tasty new iteration of one of our all-time favorite styles. Mashed with a grist of Riverbend Malt House Southern Select and a medley of Specialty malts, and a bit of Riverbend’s new Sunset Toasted Wheat Malt to bump up the body and provide some fun background character. Hopped very heavily in the Kettle and Whirlpool with our fave English hops: Fuggles and East Kent Golding. Fermented with our Pub Ale yeast, spunded for natural carb on Cask, then bumped up to normal-human carbonation for draft and cans.

We experience freshly toasted Whole Wheat bread slathered in Fig jam and dusted in Cocoa Powder, Chocolate dipped tea cakes alongside a spot of English Breakfast tea, a distinct hard minerality, and an absolutely beautiful balance of all components.

Had on cask. Opaque brown with a tan head. Smell and taste are the same, simple yet nuanced the more you have: cocoa dusted dark malts with hints of earth, dried fig and a whisper of smoke. Feel is classic: warm, soft and smooth yet light but never thins out. Great winter time refresher, give it a try, there is more to life than drinking BA stouts all the time! (Though that is a good life!)
