TASTING NOTES
Smooth & velvety yet not heavy like a traditional stout. This dark ale was barrel-aged in Kentucky bourbon oak and presents dark chocolate on the palate with a decent dose of sweet raisin notes. An easy-drinker, Rockafella shows hints of vanilla and cigar box, showcasing some of the flavours imparted by the oak-ageing process.
BREWERY SNAPSHOT
Stockade started their brewery in 2013 and called it Macarthur Grange Brewery, a word play on a great Australian pioneer and the physical location of their Brauhaus. They soon started to plot around a series of beers that are both modern and classic at the same time, combining traditional European styles with Australian ingredients and flavours. The “German” brother has left his mark all over the brewery and the beer, insisting on using only the highest quality ingredients, no sugars for high speed fermentation and no preservatives to destroy the “purity” of the beer.
DID YOU KNOW?
Stockade’s first creation was a fourteenth century Germany saison-style beer, brewed with 200 kilograms of peaches.
