About this release

Wild-fermentation golden strong ale at 8.4% ABV, brewed in summer and fermented with ale yeast in a coolship at ambient temperature. The wort is made from barley, spelt, cane sugar and European hops. Maturation takes place in large oak barrels with wild yeast and bacteria. Finished with dry-hopping of whole hop flowers and several months of bottle conditioning. The Dickens from Mills Brewing in Berkeley, England, is a complex, lively and characterful wild ale that truly delivers what traditional wild fermentation can achieve. This unique approach results in a beer with great depth and development. The combination of barley and spelt with cane sugar creates an interesting base, while the European hops contribute subtle character. The long maturation in oak barrels and presence of wild yeast and bacteria add layer upon layer of complexity. The dry-hopping with whole hop flowers and extensive bottle conditioning result in a finished beer that continuously evolves. This is a beer for those who love authentic, traditional breweries and are not afraid of something different and unexpected. Perfect for those who want to discover the full potential of wild fermentation and appreciate how time and craftsmanship can meet in a glass.
