Pirate Life Short Stack Maple Brown Ale

Just what this blustery weather calls for - an Imperial Brown Ale loaded with flavour. What’s that? It’s a Burton collab too?! Even better.

Eight malt variants give it a sturdy backbone and dark toffee hue, while Columbus and Fuggles hops gift earthy notes. Of course, it ain’t a stack without maple syrup - we went with 50 litres in boil, courtesy of our good mates at Slopeside Syrup.

Glug, glug.

Once poured, you’ll get aromas of caramel fudge, pot coffee, and baked oat slice. The palate is viscous and rich, spurring imagery of maple syrup flowing from the pancake’s edge - which is kinda what we were shooting for.
