Moersleutel Fire – Quadruple Mash Stout 12%
Forged from Heritage. Fueled by Fire.
Moersleutel Fire is a non-adjunct stout we’re incredibly proud of — a beer that strips things back to their essence and lets exceptional ingredients do the talking. Brewed in collaboration with Crisp Malt, this stout is made using 100% English ingredients and showcases two of the most historically important malts ever produced.
At its heart lies a perfect balance of Chevallier® Heritage Malt and Plumage Archer® Malt, used in equal parts. These legendary barley varieties shaped British brewing for over a century, and in Fire, they come together once more to create something timeless, powerful, and deeply satisfying.
No adjuncts. No shortcuts.
Just malt, hops, yeast — and fire.
The Craft Behind Fire
A Celebration of English Brewing Heritage
Fire is built on respect for tradition, executed with Moersleutel precision.
Chevallier® Heritage Malt – The Victorian Backbone
Grown since 1820 and dominant in England until the early 20th century, Chevallier is the backbone of many classic Victorian ales. In Fire, it delivers:
-
Deep, robust malt flavor
-
Rich body and structure
-
Distinct marmalade-like sweetness
-
Old-world depth and warmth
Plumage Archer® Malt – Clean, Elegant, Historic
The first commercially produced cross-bred barley, Plumage Archer had an equally transformative impact on British brewing. Our brewers love it for its:
-
Subtle, refined malt character
-
Clean, dry finish
-
Gentle sweetness that balances heavier malts
Used together in equal parts, these malts create a stout that is bold yet elegant, complex yet beautifully clean.
English Hops for Depth & Balance
To complement the malt bill, we selected two classic English hop varieties:
-
Bramling Cross – contributing notes of blackberries, soft spice, and woody depth
-
East Kent Goldings – earthy, gently bitter, with subtle honeyed tones
Rather than dominating, the hops provide structure and balance, allowing the malts to remain front and center.
Quadruple Mash: Maximum Extraction, Maximum Flavor
Fire is quadruple mashed — a technique rarely used, but essential here. This process allows us to extract the absolute maximum flavor, body, and richness from these special heritage malts.
The result is:
-
Exceptional depth of malt flavor
-
A thick, luxurious mouthfeel
-
A stout that feels dense, powerful, and complete
