Stillwater Bronze Age

This traditional Belgian farmhouse ale is brewed with raw spelt. Spelt is an ancient species of wheat that was commonly used in the Bronze Age (thus this beer's name I guess). It is from  Stillwater Artisinal Ales, but was made in parternship with, and brewed and bottled at, Hof ten Dormaal in Tildonk, Belgium. 

The beer pours a dark golden in color, nearing honey. There is a massively tall head of bubbling, boiling, white foam. The aroma is earthy, straw, musky, herbal, floral, spicy. The taste follows the aromas quite directly, adding a moderately bitter finish. It is finely and intensely carbonated, true to its bottle conditioned style. A solid and enjoyable farmhouse style ale made with spelt. I have tried a couple of Belgian beers made with spelt and have really liked both of them.
