Holy Mountain Brewing - Deadfall

Our stock ale is brewed and aged in the tradition of the great English and American barleywines brewed with floor-malted Maris Otter, Munich, and a blend of Crystal malts, and hopped with Amarillo and Centennial. Deadfall was fermented with our house ale strain and then aged for six months in a Westland whiskey barrel which had previously held American bourbon. The barrel character is more akin to scotch than American whiskey, and the extended aging has enhanced the malt, hop, and yeast characters without overwhelming them. The fruity yeast and hops meld with the sweet malt character and notes of vanilla spice, and citrus of the cask, creating a complex array of caramel and bruleed sugar flavors, with an aroma of candied oranges
