After drinking Brasserie Dunham’s beers at The Festival in Los Angeles and meeting the wonderful people behind the brewery, we knew that we wanted to work with them. The inspiration for Amicis Mortis came from a remarkable dish cooked with sweet potatoes, chili peppers, and coconut that we enjoyed together in Austin while Dunham visited us from Quebec. Unfiltered, unpasteurized, and 100% naturally conditioned.
Amicis Mortis was brewed with Hill Country well water, malted barley, raw wheat, hops, sweet potatoes, and chili peppers. Sweet potatoes were added to the mash, and a small dose of chili peppers were added late in the boil. It was fermented in stainless steel with our mixed culture of microorganisms consisting of brewers yeast and native yeast and bacteria harvested from the air and wildflowers around our brewery. A couple of weeks into fermentation we added coconut and more chili peppers to the beer. Amicis Mortis was packaged on May 20th, 2015 and refermented in bottles, kegs, and casks. It is 4.2% alcohol by volume, has a finishing gravity of 0.999 (zero degrees Plato), and is 32 IBU.

Bottle - Creamy funky starch notes and a hint of chilli. Cloudy yellow gold with a decent white head. Funky sweet startch notes, grains and alight feeling of heat. Meh.

Poured from a batch 1, May 2015 bottle. Aroma was not what I was expecting. Some medium grain notes with a bit of bread. Faint adjunct notes, but this really not much to pull out of the aroma. Some light stone fruit esters. I guess there are hints of coconut. Pours a hazy, yellow straw color with a medium sized, pillowy, thick white head that shows average retention as it recedes. No lacing or legs. Flavor is slightly sweet, but fairly dry and crisp with medium grain notes. Hints of potatoes and coconut with some spice in the finish. Medium light bitterness. Faint stone fruit and floral esters. Faint tropical fruit and citrus. Mouthfeel is light bodied and crisp with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer, but definitely not what I was expecting. Crisp and malty like a lager with only light sourness. Adjuncts were also very faint. That being said, its pretty easy drinking.

Bottle @ Steve_0’s place. Thanks! Pours a milky light yellow appearance with a white head. Floral, sage, lemon in the nose with just a hint of the chili peppers (I don’t get any of the coconut or yam in the aroma). Quite grassy and floral. Low sweetness, pretty dry. Sessionable. Some herbs. Easy to drink but nothing like I was expecting based on the ingredients.

On tap at Jester King. Pours a hazy yellow gold with medium creamy white head that lasts. The aroma is funk, rye, wheat, pepper. Medium mouth, light dryness, pepper, yeast, light finish.

750 ml bottle purchased at Farmhouse Grill and Tap. Batch 1 bottled on 05.20.2015. Aroma is yeast, oak barrel and some light basement danky hints. The flavor shows some floral hints right upfront. Very mild chili peppers in the center of the brew with a oak barrel finish. Body is light and certainly a crushable summertime brew at 4.2 %.
