Holy Goat x Epochal 1895 Shipwreck Stout

Brewed in collaboration with Epochal Barrel Fermented Ales. This is a recreation of a beer that was found in bottles retrieved from a shipwrecked vessel. Wallachia, which sank after a collision in the Clyde Estuary in 1895. The beer itself was a strong export stout from the McEwan’s brewery in Glasgow, destined for the West Indies. Our version utilises ingredients typical for the period, including heritage Chevallier base malt, amber, brown and black roasted malts and No.2 Invert sugar. This version of the beer is close to what Holy Goat and Epochal think the original would have tasted like young, with another portion aging in barrels with mixed cultures harvested from the original bottles, for release once the beer is aged for one year. 440ml / 8% ABV
