Lady Jane's Lament is a luxurious ale made with all English malts, including Maris Otter and light, medium, and double-roasted crystal, as well as torrefied wheat. The flavors that come through are equally rich, featuring a blend of sticky toffee pudding, bourbon, and fig compote. Fun fact: the inspiration for this beer came from the original arctic ale, which was brewed in 1851 for the expedition of the Northwest Passage (and created to be big, malty, and able to survive temperatures down to 12 Fahrenheit!). Lady Jane was the widow of Sir John Franklin, whose ship was lost exploring the passage. Our version of this historical ale, Lady Jane’s Lament, was aged in bourbon barrels for 15 months, adding a depth of flavor and complexity. This medium-full-bodied brew is warming and ready for expeditions in freezing temps, or more likely in this day and age, for times relaxing fireside.
