Another great lineup of beers for this weeks #BeerChurch! Check them out below!
Grimm Artisanal Ales — Passionfruit Pop!: Berliner Weisse — 4.8% ABV ? IBUs
Pours a nice cloudy straw with pleasantly tart aromas of the obvious passion fruit, along with lemon-lime and subtle vanilla. Flavor is delicately tart with a thin mouthfeel and taste of passion fruit and lychee with a nice residual sweetness from the lactose and a faint vanilla finish.
Wicked Weed Brewing — Montmaretto: American Wild Ale — 6.9% ABV ? IBUs
Pours a beautiful golden-red and clearer than one would expect. Aromas are dominated by cherry candy and biscotti with taste of tart cherry, sweet almond, and a subtle nutty funk finish.
Gueuzerie Tilquin — Oude Mûre Tilquin à l’Ancienne (2016–2017) : Fruit Lambic — 6.4% ABV ? IBUs
Cloudy, reddish brown with acidic yet jammy aromas with a moderately tart and acidic flavor of blackberry jam.
Brasserie de la Senne/Jester King — Jester Zinne: Saison/Farmhouse Ale — 5.9% ABV ? IBUs
This is a great sasion that was fermented with yeast from both breweries and aged in barrels for 14 months! It pours with medium cloudiness and a thin white head. Aromas are dominated by barnyard funk and spicy phenols with flavors that match of malt, spice, slight funk and oakiness.
Firestone Walker — Krieky Bones: American Wild Ale — 6.1% ABV ? IBUs
Pours reddish mahogany with thin white head. Aroma is heavy with tart cherries with a slight sweetness and faint oakiness. Taste pleasantly tart with a sharp acidity with flavors of mixed berries, jam, and cherry pie.
Parish Brewing Co. — Attacus Atlas: Triple IPA — 9% ABV ? IBUs
Looks like orange juice in the glass… if your orange juice is carbonated and produces a thin white head. Aroma and taste match with tropical fruit like mango and pineapple along with piney, resiny, bitter orange notes.
St. Arnold Brewing Company — Divine Reserve №18: American Stout — 13.4% ABV 48 IBUs
Pours pitch black with a nice tan head. Wonderful aromas of bittersweet chocolate, dark fruit, vanilla, faint licorice notes, with alcoholic booze. Flavors heavy with dark chocolate and vanilla with notes of dried fruit and a boozy ending.
Prairie Artisan Ales — Pirate Bomb!: American Imperial Stout — 15% ABV 65 IBUs
Glad this was the last beer of the night because at 15% ABV it is quite a doozie! This beer is Prairie’s Bomb!, which is already an amazing beer, that they add coffee, cacao nibs, vanilla, and chilies and then age in rum barrels! This beer is super complex and wonderfully delicious. It pours jet black with a thin, reddish brown head. Aroma is spicy bell pepper, hot chocolate, dark fruits, rummy booze. Flavor is roasted malts, coffee, vanilla, sweet malt, figs, and chocolate with a prominent rum barrel booziness.
