We started something new with Elara, as it was not only our first Scotch Ale, but also the first time we used a maple syrup barrel during barrel aging. First, we locked the batch, which was made - by the candy sugar - fuller, more caramelly and into a strong emphasis of roasted malts, for almost two years, 23 months exactly, partly in maple syrup and partly in Woodford Reserve Double Oak bourbon barrels. The effect seems unrepeatable: the roasted grain-emphasized top-fermented beer, the strongly sweet yet faintly smoky flavor of maple syrup, and the relentlessly spicy, vanilla-like, scratchy grain flavor of bourbon came together in a Scotch ale that even our grandchildren will remember.
We deliver our beers to our customers with GLS and Foxpost courier services via home delivery and parcel point collection. The packages are shipped every Wednesday and in most cases they arrive at the requested delivery point on Friday.
