Moor Beer launch three new double stouts
Moor Beer is hosting simultaneous events at their Bristol and London tap rooms where they will be puring three new double stouts for the first time.
Brewed in collaboration with the Madrid brewery La Quince, the three Batallas Double Stouts are from a single brew and is the first instalment of their barrel ageing project.
One is the original expression of the double stout, and the other two have spent much of this year maturing in rum and whisky barrels.

Moor Beer head brewer Justin Hawke said: “We have been barrel ageing for almost 10 years, but as many know, it’s not only a time-consuming project, it also requires a lot of space. Our Bermondsey vault has allowed us to up the ante and we’re thrilled with the first results.
“We are firm believers that good beer should not be rushed. Having the opportunity to barrel age for a period of time has delivered natural beers that are full of flavour. This is a fantastic opportunity to see how the same brew can be influenced and enhanced in three different ways.
“The beers from the rum and whisky barrels have been enhanced by the flavours from wood and the spirit that was previously within. For instance, the whisky barrels provide a notable yet balanced peaty flavour that compliments the richness of the double stout.
“We collaborated with La Quince to brew this beer with our mutual friend Batallas. We all love dark beers full of flavour that are immensely drinkable. It was a pleasure to share our first Vault projects with friends like these.”
