Description
We launched Fullsteam in 2010 with a single mission: to explore what it means to be a Southern brewery. Sometimes that definition means brewing with foraged and farmed adjuncts. Other times it means making innovative beers with local grain. And sometimes it means just making true-to-style beers more Southern in temperament.

In our nearly ten years focused on this mission, Fullsteam has purchased more than $500,000 in Southern-farmed ingredients. We track our commitment to the Southern Beer Economy in our monthly farm reports.

Whether it’s the beer we brew, the food we cook, or the events we host, we believe in connecting people to the land and to one another. And through it all, we aim to keep it fun. Beer should be fun.

Bottle 65 cl. Pours a hazy golden with a dense and lacing, white head. Dusty, slightly tart nose. Medium body, some sweet malt and fruitiness, but by now unfortunately also some oxidation. There's what seems like a slight, lactic tartnes but it is indeed subtle. A beer that didn't age well and it shouldn't have. 210121

4 day old can A: Poured an attractive ruby tinged black with a short tan head that fell quickly to a lasting ring and cap. S: Rich fresh coffee, toast and chocolate aroma. T: Bitter and roasty notes give way to nutty flavors. Hazelnuts, molasses and vanilla mingle with fresh roast coffee. Earthy hop and dry woody notes end the sip. M: Light mouthfeel for 6%. Stiff carbonation and smooth slick texture. Finish is clean and dry. O: Very good in all aspects, especially the unfolding flavors. Highly recommended and well worth a buy.
