Description
Based in the Mafra region, since August 2013 we have dedicated ourselves to the art of brewing. We create beers with unlikely flavors and aromas (chili and lemon, orange and oak, tomato), honor traditional styles and rediscover long-forgotten recipes, all of this developed in our precision laboratory. Take the opportunity to discover the "tailor-made" beers.

From tap at 5 e meio Taproom, Ericeira. Proper rauch aroma with smoked bacon, campfire notes, caramel malt. Moderate bittersweet, medium body. Good Rauchbier, expected something underwhelming to be honest but they didn't hold back on the smoke.

Bottle from 5 e meio Taproom. Aroma is roasty malts, some caramel. Picking up a little chocolate. Mild to medium sweet, light to moderate bitter. Medium body. Quite overcarbonated, which detracts from the drinking experience.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 17A). Bottle 33 cl - Batch RB05.18 (BBF SET20). AROMA: low metallic note, followed by medium-low solventy aroma and low toffee-like malt and dried fruit. APPEARANCE: ruby amber color and clear. low beige head with low retention. slight leg formation. TASTE: similar to the aroma with initial medium solventy flavor, medium-low toffee-like malt and low esters (dried fruits). low background yeasty flavor. medium-low bitterness with an almost dry finish. PALATE: medium body with low carbonation. OVERALL: a good strong ale base that needs fermentation tweaking.
