Barrel-Aged Barleywine

Vault City

8% abv

Our Barleywine was barrel-aged for 6 months in ex-whisky, ex-sherry casks imparting a delicate sweetness among notes of Christmas cake. Malt-driven flavours dominate the flavour profile from a combination of melanoidin, Special B, and crystal malt, while Ernest and Olicana hops work with an unusual choice of NEIPA yeast to enhance the unique fruity character. Notes of figs, dates and dried cherries become apparent with the addition of Kawa Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee, and added vanilla rounds out the overall sweetness. Collaboration with DeadEnd Brew Machine and Tartarus.

This is our session strength Nitro Porter that takes inspiration from our flagship beer, The Porter. Creamy, smooth and truly sessionable. What better way to create an effortlessly drinkable dark beer than to brew it with nitro. The resulting creaminess and smooth mouthfeel balance perfectly with the subtle roasted notes of coffee and chocolate.

Studio Lager

Signature

Our go-to lager has played its part in many a late-night session, both in the recording studio and at the bar. The highest quality European noble hops (Hallertau Tradition) are amplified by the simple clarity of water, yeast and malt resulting in unmistakable floral hits and a pleasingly bitter finish. A touch of rye also gives the beer a pleasing body. All the hallmarks of an instant classic.
