Brewed last week – Christmas Stout

Last week myself and Emma were having a week off, a lazy week and an odd night away in York, none of those fancy foreign holidays like the people with actual money have.

Rob and Paul were sorting your beer needs and we brewed our first Christmas Stout, Black Bauble is a 4.5% stout with German Carafa Special 3, Chocolate Malt, Wheat Malt, Rye Malt, Crystal 400, Maris Otter and Naked Oat Malt. hopped with British Challenger and First Gold hops with the addition of Black Treacle which comes though subtly so as not to overpower. Unfined and Vegan.

We also put a lager brew in tank, this time it’s Teuton Lager 4%. Unfined and Vegan, this beer is hopped with German Tettnang hops.

Also releasing soon is our Wood Aged Black Imp 10% Imperial Stout aged in 3rd fill French Red Wine casks that previously held our Barley Wine and Old Ale, this brings more oak character to the beer and it’s tasting great.
