COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A Stein’s Throw, is an 8.5% ABV amalgamation of a barley wine and a traditional stein beer. We teamed up with the staff over at TAPS Brewery in Brea to make this strong, brown ale. To add an extra layer of complexity, we heated granite rocks up to 900º and added it to the wort along with a generous addition of date sugar for added gravity. The result is rich with fruity esters and toffee richness but finishes dry after being fermented with yeast strains special to the Bruery and TAPS.

yngwie (10760) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - FEB 15, 2013
Bottle, 75cl. An almost clear one, amber in color and with a small, firm off-white head. The aroma has a good dash of caramel, tending towards butterscotch. Quite fruity. Pleasant in a strange way. The flavor too is on the caramel side, with nice addition of fruityness. Some bitterness chimes in. A solid dose of raisins too. Full body, slightly warming, with a nice carbonation level. Caramel and raisins in the end. A pleasant and more-ish beer. 130215
