Description
CIB Brewery is a small batch, production-only nano brewery located in Carson, Iowa. We are a farmhouse style brewery. This means all of our beers are fermented using proprietary yeast blends including Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and other wild yeasts. The end result of this brewing process is that all of our ales will be somewhat sweet and tart on the palate and be uniquely flavorful. All of our wild yeasts are harvested and cultured in the brewery in Carson, IA.

Bottle #46 pours with a dark murky amber body supporting a tall billowing tan head foam ball. The aroma is earthy, tart and rubbery band-aid. The taste has some tartness as well as a soured to spoiled mango that’s lightly covered with molasses. Hmm. Not sure what to make of this. It isn’t working for me at all.

750 @RBWG-JAX-tan-bown/amber. A-chocolate-med malt, some sour. T-sour, old gym shorts, chocolate-med malt. Now I know how 35 people can share one 750 and still have beer left.

Bottle at Endo’s house, cheers Frank, 22/05/13. Very dark mahogony brown with a moderately sized beige head. Nose is roast malt, sour fruits. Taste comprises soured dark fruits, light chocolate, dank wood. Full end of medium bodied, sour and tarte bitter notes in the finish. Infected !

750 thanks to randomgarbage. Pours a cloudy red color with a large light cream colored head. A funky fruity nose. The flavor is sour fruity flavors,acidic, odd terrible in so many ways.

Parkville Fest 2013. Pours very dark brown. Aroma does have coffee aspects and so does the flavor. Lots of alcohol, sweet malts and sourish touches. Just a messy mish mash and not fun to keep sipping. Nowhere near as bad as that DethHanger.

Parkville Fest 2013. Orange/golden color. This was served cold but I did not find this all that spicy. The light burn first started in the throat and built up. Definitely noticeable but nothing as hot as the Twisted Pine Ghost Face Killa.

Parkville Fest 2013. A mish mash of alcohol, sour, dark malts. Light acetic and sulfur aspects. Not offensive just very poorly made. Not much else to say.

Parkville Fest 2013. Pours very dark red. This was probably the best of the CIB bunch. Nothing offensive about it. A natural cherry beer with some sourish touches. Unfortunately, its muddled up in a "big" beer with too much booze and disjointed flavors.

This is actually an offensive beer. Had it a few times at fests. Most recently at the Parkville fest. It just smells awful, the ""meat drippings" is actually something pretty fowl.
