Master of Kettles - Barleywine
Barleywine | 750ml | ABV 16.0%
Using solely West Australian grown Barrett Burston Pale Malt, MOK spent the day and night boiling simultaneously in two kettles to create a sticky, raisin ladened beast of a beer.
Roughly 2.2 tonnes of malt was used to create 4,000 litres of wort that spent 25 days in stainless before transferring to our foeder that held cognac in it's previous life. It then spent a further 60 days on oak to impart depth and ridiculous complexity.
Sitting at just 10 IBU, Master Of Kettles is pure pound cake, fruit loaf and sticky date pudding. Prunes, dried fig and molasses coat the palate with ample warmth supplied from the sizable ABV. A sipper and one to savour, this beer truly is the reigning master of our brew kit and will be hard to knock off that perch!
