Figueroa Mountain Deacon's Nightcap

Deacon’s Nightcap is a collaboration between Figueroa Mountain and the Maltose Falcons homebrew club. Founded in 1974, the Maltose Falcons are the oldest homebrew club in California. The club was active in the 1978 in efforts to legalize homebrewing in the state of California. The current club continues to be recognized as one of the premier homebrewing clubs in the US and produces outstanding quality beer.
Adambier is a rare style that tastes like a cross between an English Barley wine and a dopplebock. What should you look for in an Adambier? Malt, malt, and more malt. Just as a big Belgians will showcase esters and yeast complexity, and a double IPA displays the hops, an Adambier defines complex maltiness. The malt is caramelized and roasty, but those flavors come with a long boil and fermentation, not with the use of roast or caramel malts. The recipe for this collaboration is based on the club’s Vice President, John Aitchison’s infamous homebrew version.
