We've got friends in remote places, Alaska being one of them. Sassan and Brian from Denali Brewing Co. packed their bags with 30 pounds of Chaga mushrooms from Alaskan birch trees and embarked on the long journey through foreign lands and over the arctic just so that we could brew with it. Chaga has been known as a medicinal plant for ages. Denali is not only a brewery, once again it is also the name of the highest mountain in North America

Pours black. Small grey head. Smell is bit roasty, mild grains. rather bitter. Taste is bit special. Subtile, creamy, some roasted malts. OK.

Bouteille 50cl, batch# 1512, BB 09.09.2019. Brune foncée, dorée au verre, col fin crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme au nez malté, grillé rétro fin lactose avec un bouquet terreux quais umami de champignons. Palais est malté, grillé, pointe de café et un caractère de champignon bien distinct qui ajoute à cette sensation umami. Amertume des houblons modérée sur note d’agrumes arrivant plus en retrait et une pointe amer café, certaine douceur perdure venant du lactose et ajoutant une balance douce. Correcte mais 50cl reste un peu de trop pour une personne.
