Description
Cervecería Fauna. Es una microcervecería familiar fundada en el año 2012 por los hermanos Larios Rizo en la ciudad de Mexicali, Baja California. Desde sus inicios, se dedicaron a producir cervezas dirigidas a un público aventurero, curioso, y retador. El primer par de cervezas que ofrecieron al mercado artesanal cervecero tienen bastante personalidad, por lo cual ambas, Lycan Lupus y Penélope, fueron rápidamente posicionadas en la frontera entre lo intenso y lo agresivo.

355mL bottle, pours black with a large tan head. Nose has some indications of a brett infection, toasted malt, and some earthiness. Flavour is a little better, but does have some burnt rubber, with medium roast in back. There’s definitely something wrong here.

Dark brown. Has that coffee and infection type of aroma. Toasty on the palate...not showing nearly the same signs of infection, actually. Just big roasty, lots of bitterness. Ends up being decent.

355mL bottle. Pours black with a beige head. Cacao and stale bready malts on the nose. Flavour has very dry malts, a phenol-like character that makes it unpleasantly bitter. There some roast and malts, but there's something very wrong here.
