Description
Gigantic Brewing Company is an independent, crafty brewery located in the Southeast quadrant of the Peoples Republic of Portland. Brewer/Owners Ben Love and Van Havig are veterans of the Oregon brewing community.

At Gigantic we only do two things: make the best damn IPA in Portland, Oregon and produce seasonal, exciting, flavorful beers, most of which will be brewed only once. Our goal is simultaneously to create new interpretations of classic styles and to ignore those same style guidelines completely and brew whatever our creative natures produce.

20 June 2025. “Iets voor den Erwin” @ Dracuna. Cheers to the whole GBV crew! Thanks to Meeki for sharing!

Jet black, small, foamy, dark beige head. Aroma of tawny port, melting fondant, dark fudge, pralines, marzipan, ripe brambleberry, walnut oil, tobacco, soy sauce. Taste has sweet prune, fig & brambleberry in a dark-chocolatey, almondy, walnutty malt body with touches of coffee, sourish berries and umami soy & black olive. Bitter earthy hops in the finish, pronounced espresso, dried fruits (sweetish and sour) and warming port-like alcohol (adding woody tannins too). Full body, oily texture, average carbonation. A 'perfected' BA treatment almost; complex and very enjoyable.

Bottled. That was interesting. If they made a McDonald's breakfast into a beer, this would be it
