This year’s DEEP 6 Irish Coffee Cream Ale has rich, deep malt character with toasted caramel and toffee notes that complement the added cold brewed coffee to give richness in flavour. Peated malts were added for a subtle smoky balanced aroma and flavour. Oats and lactose were also added to give a creamy texture and mouthfeel. ABV: 9%, SRM: 25, IBU: 15
Ice – the solid state of the most powerful substance in existence on our planet. Liquid or solid, Water is an indomitable force of absolute awesomeness – Lake of the Woods Brewing Company uniquely puts both Ice and Water together with its innovative Deep Six Aged-Under-Ice Series.
Every fall prior to lake freeze-up, LOWBrewCo ’deep sixes’ bottles of small batch, handcrafted beer to the bottom of Lake of the Woods. Placed below the ice line and secured in anchored cages, the beer receives the benefit of (at a minimum six month) aging between four and ten degrees Celsius in a gentle lake current. This results in really cool beer.
