Owls Eyes – Free Will Brewing
Availability: Bucks County and Statewide Shipping
Brewed with a complex malt bill with of course plenty of oats, some caramel malts, chocolate malt, midnight wheat, and roasted barley. Hopped just a little bit with HBC 472 – which we’ve taken a liking to in beers of this nature. In a world of heavily adjunct stouts, we wanted to create something that was still packed with a deep, complex character without adding anything beyond traditionally used ingredients. Notes of cacao, roast, caramel, and an almost fruity, woody-like character as is unique to our hop choice here.
