The Wreck Survivors Ale 750mL

The world's oldest surviving beer - made new! Buried for almost 2 centuries a Wreck lay forgotten off the icy waters off Tasmania’s Preservation Island. And in its cargo a beer destined for the colonies.

The Wreck Survivors Ale is an Imperial Porter that has been carefully aged in rum barrels to add an extra fathom of depth. This masterfully intriguing brew uses traditional English hops of Fuggle and Bramling Cross providing earthy notes of blackcurrant. For this release Maris Otter has been included in the malt bill driving a lovely rich malt body. The hero is The Wreck yeast which drives spicy clove flavour on top of a pleasant warming sensation. The result is a complex yet smooth Porter for a truly unique drinking experience.
