BA 1895 Shipwreck Stout, Holy Goat Brewing
Description
Barrel Aged Stout
Brewed in collaboration with Epochal Barrel Fermented Ales. This is a recreation of a beer found in bottles retrieved from a shipwrecked vessel Wallachia, which sank after a collision in the Clyde Estuary in 1895. The beer itself was a strong export stout from the McEwan’s brewery in Glasgow, destined for the West Indies.
Our version utilises ingredients typical for the period, including heritage Chevallier base malt, amber, brown and black roasted malts and No.2 Invert sugar. This version has been barrel aged for one year in North British whisky casks, along with a mixed culture (Brettanomyces and Debaromyces) harvested from the original bottles salvaged from the shipwreck.

Producer Details
Holy Goat is a Dundee based brewery specialising in the production of mixed- fermentation and wood aged beers. Mixed fermentation refers to the use of unconventional yeasts and bacteria in brewing, which allows production of beers with unique character. We are driven by experimentation and are obsessed with the awesome flavours which can be achieved from mixed-culture fermentations.
Inspired by tradition mixed fermentation beer styles we seek to pay hommage to our brewing forbears, using new techniques, fermentation styles and the highest quality ingredients to produce complex, interesting and (most importantly) tasty beer! The breweries name references the tongue-in-cheek description of the ‘goat’ like qualities of wild yeast (Brettanomyces) characteristics. A reverence to this yeast and to the beers which display these characteristics is a strong part of the identity of the brewery.
Hail the Goat!
