Amber Peated Sour Ale matured in oak barrels for about 12 months.
Fumigant is a complex and rich amber colored peated sour ale. Smoky, peaty notes reminiscent of Scotch whisky are perfectly balanced by tart and sour aromas, a hint of malt sweetness and some earthy undertones.

DC Share. 11.2oz bottle. Poured a little murky red color with a very wispy, light tan head. Aroma was chewy malts, light meaty notes. Pleasant tart raspberries with some oaky wood. Interesting to be sure.

At share: pours clear copper with a small head. Aroma is hefty peaty smoke, subtle rotten funk. Taste is smoky, sticky sourness. Could use more carbonation. Sour. Lingering aftertaste. Huge palate wrecker, but interesting.

[10/19/13] Hand-pump at Eurhop Beer Festival 2013 in Rome. Clear golden. Smoky aroma, peaty and a bit ashy, with some sweet malt and a bit of sour fruitiness. Sourish fruity flavor with nice smokiness. Medium-bodied. Pretty good stuff.
