Boatrocker Barrel Aged Sterk & Donker

TASTING NOTES \nSterk & Donker, Boatrocker’s ode to the Belgian Dark Strong Ale, aged in STARWARD whisky casks for 12 months. They created their own dark Belgian style candi syrup to add to the layers of malt complexity. Notes of whisky, dried fruits, oak and Belgian yeast esters combine into a truly harmonious blend. \nBREWERY SNAPSHOT \nFounded in 2009 by Matt & Andrea Houghton, Boatrocker has come a long way from its beginnings of selling its first beers from the back of their car. As the founders of Australia's first barrel room and cellar door, our aim is to offer not only a unique experience at the source (34 Macbeth Street, Braeside VIC 3195), but to also offer a complementary online experience. \nDID YOU KNOW? \nThe first items owner Matt purchased were 60 used wine barrels, starting the wheels turning on what would later be Australia's first barrelroom and cellar door. The first beer put through their new equipment was a turbid mashed lambic style beer.
