24 bottles (330mL) of Goodieson Stout

Goodieson Brewery is owned by Jeff and Mary Goodieson and is run from our home in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Our passion for brewing came from our passion for drinking good beer, and we've put a lot of "research" into drinking good beer. Both Jeff and Mary spent many years as 20 something's in Europe and developed a taste and respect for traditional beers from Austria and Germany. On returning to Australia we did a bit of home brewing before we decided to get serious about beer. We moved to Ballarat in 1996 and spent four years there whilst Jeff completed a degree in Food Technology and an Honours year in Malting and Brewing. Since his graduation at the end of 1999 he has worked for Lion Nathan in many capacities. Stout is a strong tasting dark beer made using roasted malt. The word ‘stout’ was traditionally the generic term for the strongest or stoutest porters, typically 6% to 8%. Our rich black Stout has enjoyed an extended maturation after being hopped with Pride of Ringwood and fermented at 18°C. The bitterness has mellowed and it is beautifully balanced by the malty flavours with deep strong coffee, malt aromas and a hint of chocolate and licorice. 6.5% alcohol by volume
