Inspired by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles
British malts and Sherlock Holmes were our inspiration for this brew. With an imagination fueled by the complexity of the characters and settings crafted by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, we pictured ourselves sitting in the drawing room of a vast estate upon the moors; sipping a Wee Heavy while in the distance, a diabolical hound howls in the night. This beer is best enjoyed fireside... perhaps while wearing your deerstalker hat and finest Persian slippers.
Malt: Maris Otter, Pale, Aromatic, Crystal 40, Carafa III
Hops: East Kent Goldings, Warrior
Brewery Notes:
Wee Heavy is one of our Brewer's favorite styles with its complex malt character, it's easy drinking style and its high alcohol. So when it was suggested to combine those characteristics with he luxurious flavor of salted caramel - we couldn't resit. An extended boil, the finest British malts and salty sweet caramel are the detectives in this story. Try it yourself and see what the mystery is all about!
