Description
Crux is a crossroads, an intersection, the heart of something. In brewing it's that pivotal point where fermentation happens and anticipation mounts.

We’re Crux Fermentation Project— housed in a former AAMCO Transmission Plant and inspired by our location right in the heart of Bend, Oregon. Our brewery is a one-of-a-kind, built for non-traditional brewing methods like decoction mashing, open fermentation and barrel aging, and for leveraging the limitless possibilities that wild yeast strains and experimental hops present.

500ml bottle. Pours an opaque black with a large, creamy, long lasting, light brown head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, caramel and light coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, licorice, dark chocolate, caramel, earth and ash in a dry, bitter coffee finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Very enjoyable.

16oz can from Craft Brewers. Hazy straw color, patchy head. Fruity aroma, hints of tropical and stone fruit. Fruity flavors kicked up a notch in the taste, rich, full, sweet. Add a touch of orange. Nice.
