Imperial Stout Brandy BA

Spontaneous fermented, coolshipped and aged in wooden barrels and infused with elder flowers

"Deze Imperial Coffee Porter heeft 6 maanden gerijpt op Cognac vaten. Het aroma verraadt subtiele vanillegeuren, gedroogd fruit en een verwarmende gloed van alcohol."

"For this beer, we were inspired by the world of whiskey, where it is customary to finish aged whiskeys in barrels with a specific taste. In this way, complexity is added to the final product. In this series we finish Oud Bruin , which has matured for at least a year in oak wine barrels, in wooden barrels of a different type of wood, sometimes the barrels are fresh, sometimes with another drink. This time: Bocoy barrels. 700L barrels of chestnut wood in which Spanish wine from the Jerez region has matured. The barrels add aromas of nuts, tobacco, spices and balsamic."

"When the hop farmers start harvesting, we start brewing our Hop Harvest. The fresh, undried hop flowers are picked in the morning, and on the same day they are used in the Hop Harvest-brew, straight from the field. Because we use 'wet hops', the beer has a fresh, floral, and pleasantly bitter taste. By changing the recipe every year, the outcome is always a surprise. Drink this beer young if you can, that's when the wet hop shows of their floral character the most."

"We used a new technology at the Browar Stu Mostów, which involves preparing the mash in two stages. First, we made a brew from which we obtained a fairly thick wort. Then we poured another batch of malt into the resulting wort, which resulted in a very high concentration of both sugars and flavor in the resulting wort. This is definitely a more difficult technique than the one we have used so far, but the results will surprise you! This time we limit the cooking time which affects less caramelization of the sugar and the discovery of the underlying maltiness. The sizable addition of lactose emphasizes the dessertiness of this beer, and the addition of cherries and vanilla crown the whole dessert." BB is 28/04/2024

Season 2021-2022, Assemblage #26. Bottled on 03/02/2022. "For this first ever Cassis, we macerated freshly harvested cassis berries (blackcurrants) on an ex-Bordeaux barrel for a good four months. The lambics used for macerating and blending were all two years old, and originating from two different barrels and eight different brews. The weighted average age of this blend clocks at 26 months. The final fruit proportion is 313 grams of cassis berries used per litre of finished fruit lambik. The berries were manually picked at Purfruit, a small community supported orchard in West-Flanders, Belgium.."

For this blend, we macerated Glen Carron raspberries - grown and hand-picked in Flanders, for almost four months. The weighted average age of this fruit blend upon bottling was almost 27 months. The final fruit proportion used is 333 grams per litre of finished Frambozenlambik. 100% 3 Fonteinen Brewed Lambic."

Season 2020-2021 Assemblage #30. bottled on 23/02/2021. "For this particular geuze, we blended four lambics brewed by ourselves and one lambik from another, fairly new small traditional lambik brewery. The lambics originate from four different oak barrels. Three of the lambics used were between 25 and 27 months on the date of bottling. One of the two-year old lambics was brewed with the Witte van Vlaanderen wheat variety, and was cultivated in Pajottenland by our Cereal Collective."

Season 2020-2021. Assemblage #49 bottled on 27/04/2021. "For this specific Cuvée Armand & Gaston, we blended lambikken from three different barrels and five different brews. Upon bottling, the average age was about twenty months. A quarter of the lambikken used were brewed with heirloom Pajot grown cereals, from our own farmers’ cereal collective. The characteristics of this geuze make it an excellent geuze for extended ageing."

Season 2019-2020. Assemblage #6 bottled on 21/11/2019. "This specific blend of Oude Geuze Cuvée Armand & Gaston Vintage consists of eight different lambikken that have fermented and matured on five different barrels. The oldest lambik was brewed in 2016, rendering the weighted average age of this blend to about 55 months."

Season 2021-2022. Assemblage #42. Bottled on 23/02/2022. "For this Langste Kook / Longest Boil - a special version of the Cuvée Armand & Gaston - we brewed a typical lambik wort, but with an extended boiling time. We usually boil for five hours - the highest in the lambik world and about tenfold of modern beer brewing. Now, we boiled a whopping eighteen hours. 18. Hours. After a full year of barrel fermentation and maturation, we blended with a young portion of lambik to assure continued bottle fermentation. With a weighted average age of the blend of almost twelve months upon bottling, this is a rather young geuze, but all lambikken were brewed with Pajottenland grains from our own Cereal Collective."

Season 2021-2022. Assemblage #47. Bottled on 11/03/2022. "Nocturne is a spontaneously fermented full malt beer. Not your typical lambik beer, but our take on a Vlaams Oud Bruin. The beer was brewed with five different barley malts, from pilsner malt to dark roasted malts, and no wheat whatsoever. This batch was brewed in April 2019 with more lighter malt, and put on oak barrels for three years before we blended it with a small portion of freshly brewed Nocturne. The weighted average age of this beer upon bottling is 33 months."

Season 2021-2022. Assemblage #48. Bottled on 11/03/2022. "Nocturne is a spontaneously fermented full malt beer. Not your typical lambik beer, but our take on a Vlaams Oud Bruin. The beer was brewed with five different barley malts, from pilsner malt to dark roasted malts, and no wheat whatsoever. This batch was brewed in March 2018 with more dark chocolate malt, and put on barrels for four years before we blended it with a small portion of freshly brewed Nocturne. The weighted average age of this beer upon bottling is 45 months."

Season 2021-2022, Assemblage #21. Bottled on 21/01/2022. "For this Pruim, we macerated fresh picked-to-ripeness sweet Mirabelle plums. Maceration took a tad over four months. For both maceration and blending, we used over 90% of old lambics, both two-, three- and four-year old. The weighted average of this blend upon bottling is therefore almost 25 months. The final fruit intensity is 304 grams of plums per litre of finished Pruim. The largest part of the fourteen brews used comes from smaller barrels and are 3 Fonteinen-brewed. Of those, more than 1/3 were brewed with Pajottenland grown cereals."

2023 Version. "Creamy, thick and pleasantly sweet, our take on a classic Christmas beverage features rum, cinnamon and vanilla with whispers of nutmeg. It’s like a melted vanilla ice cream with Christmas spices."

"Lervig’s nitro stout is a dry Irish stout brewed with a good roasty hoppy balance. It’s use of nitrogen and the gas trapping capsule aka “widget” releases nitrogen when opening the can to create a smooth mouthfeel combined with a dry but full taste. Easy to drink yet packed full of flavor, Lervig Nitro stout will satisfy your dark urges."

"Paragon 2021 showcases our patient and considered approach to tending nearly 60 different bourbon barrels for over 12 months. This edition of our distinguished barley wine displays strong notes of caramel and oak-ageing with hints of tabacco, fruit cake and vanilla. The finish is distinctly bourbon forward and complex with a balanced bitterness and perceived sweetness that gives way to a warming sensation from the 13.8% alcohol."
