For centuries the florid monks of Opus Barlei have prepared the sacred spirits for the well-being of the faithful and the restoration of the fallen. They have spent hours prayerfully mixing the holy ingredients: the barley and the malt, painstakingly cooking these over slabs of smoldering peat from the surrounding bogs. Dr. Hamish Dalmore modernized the process in the late 19th c. but it was the labor of a millenia of robust monks that prepared the way for his success. This engraving represents the preparations of the early brothers of Opus Barlei and their tireless efforts to obtain the purity and the righteousness of the one true malt. Spiritum Laudamus.
