This is our second chance to release Still after finding another barrel that has enough character to exist as a finished drink without the need for carbonation. Still is a single-barrel bottling of three year old beer, brewed in April 2020.
The wort was made from a turbid mash using Maris Otter, toasted amber malt and oats, to give a rich silky body. The wort underwent an extended boil with large quantities of aged hops, before being held for two nights in our coolship for a double innoculation.
The resulting spontaneous fermentation took place in a single 350 litre barrel, and was left to mature for three years. The resulting beer was bottled still, without carbonation, and given four months in bottle to rest before release.
The finished beer displays an elegant balance of acidity, oak tannin and hop bitterness. The silky texture of the oats allowed to shine without the prickle of carbonic acid.
