Vanilla, almonds, marzipan and maple syrup. The first sip. OK, this is pure opulence. Creamy full body starts shoveling the goodies - sweet maple syrup, aromatic mocha, darkbitter 98% chocolate, sugared almonds, and caramelly toffee. In the end, some hop bitterness and tannins from the oak barrel will try to establish bridgehead but will be quickly overpowered by sweet spices and maple syrup.

I AM WHAT I AM, 20% Barrel-Aged Naturally Fermented Very Strong Belgian Golden Ale - I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. Is it beer? Perhaps, it’s fermented. Your mileage may vary. Why? Pushing the yeast to the limits creates unique flavors. It’s hard for us to leave this space unexplored. Is it really strong Belgian golden ale? Probably not, but it was starting point. Anything else I need to know? It’s very potent beer. Best to enjoy like a port.

MY HEART'S IN THE HIGHLANDS, 21% Single malt peated ale aged in sherry barrels - “Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.” We were inspired by Scottish Highlands and peated Scotch whisky. Brewed with peated malt and aged in the sherry barrel it’s more or less fermented whisky - if there is such thing. It’s best enjoyed like whisky too - in a small glass and savoring every sip. The thin layer of foam disappears rapidly, leaving in the glass bright orange beer. Dried apples, dates and hint of caramel sweetness preparing you for the main act - peat smoked malt and sherry barrels. While in the aroma, exceptionally high alcohol was somewhat hidden, there is no way around it in the flavor. The sip starts with slightly fruity and sweet but turns quickly into warming wave of alcohol. There isn’t too much form the beer vocabulary to describe the experience. Is there peat liquor? Probably smokey whiskey is much better starting point o understand the beast. In the aftertaste, there is a long tintinnabuli of peat smoke and malt sweetness.
