MAD SCIENTIST BARREL PROJECT
Mezcal And Hot Sauce Barrel Aged Imperial Stout With Cocoa, Chillies And Spices
The Barrel Aged Version of our previous collab with Adroit Theory (USA) NASTY RIFF
CELLAR MASTER NOTES
Hushed and Grimmed
The Nasty Riff came back. You believed Nasty Riff was a one-hit-wonder… But you were all deceived. Damn right son, another version was made. In the dark depths of the barrel room, in a mezcal and a hot sauce barrel, this few hundred liters of this bitingly intense imperial stout was put aside to wait for its time to strike again. Very light hint of spicy smokiness and an even deeper form of chili and hotness. This release will be our second form of collaboration with the mighty Adroit Theory but if we can tell you a secret, a third will emerge soon!

From bottle at dark night shared tasting in Kristiansund 14.03.25. A slight gusher. Ebony. Brown head is diminishing to nothing. Aroma of roasted malt, pine and hints of chili. Strong taste of the same, but with more chili, as well as Tabasco. Lingering aftertaste with cocoa, cardamon, cinnamon and more chili. Marked best before 2048.
