Man these guys are good, 2nd Cerebral beer tonight, and I love a good schwarzbier and this is a good schwarzbier. Nicely profiled with a gentle coffee note. Semi-sweet overall. Bitter chocolate, light coffee, bready, light caramel or toffee notes.

Bright yellow gold, light hazy, full white foamy head. Nose has a light citrus element, lightly floral, light mango, something else clearly hoppy but I've never smelled in a beer before, so that's neat. Lightly doughy nose. Doughy and bready malts, with a very light gentle hopping featuring more of that unique element as noted. The citrus aspect leans a little lemon, maybe pomelo rind? Very interesting, curious. Semi-dry, nicely balanced. Light bitterness. Velvety texture. Really a neat and unique IPA, and that's saying something given the IPA fatique everyone has by now.

10 ounce at the Aurora Arts location - hazy gold - frothy lace - medium body, creamy texture - the spicy yeast expression is complimented well with spicy and herbal hop bitterness - the yeast opens up a lot more as it warms, whereas when cold it is hard to distinguish under the moderate to high hop bitterness - herbal finish - enjoyable.

8 ounce at Aurora Arts location - oily black pour - appears still and feels still and slick in the mouth - flavor is a complex blend of tamarind, chocolate, espresso, oak, bourbon, red wine, light smoke, blackberry jam, light umami on the back end - warming, but given the strength, it’s much less boozy than you’d think - nice complexity and relative balance - dig it.

10 ounce at the Aurora Arts location - hazy gold - frothy, well-sustained head - nose is beautiful oak, lacto, and underlying complex bugginess - very light acetobacter - smell is moderately reminiscent of a gueuze - light-bodied and bone-dry - bright lacto leads, with some lemon fruitiness - buggy funk through the middle and finish - a light bit of acetic acid on the tail end - lingering white grape and oak - it’s lovely.

Pint at the Aurora Arts location - clear gold - lively carbonation kicks up a frothy head - clean, crisp, and dry, with a floral closing bitterness and lingering flint/mineral - really refreshing and super clean - may have found my bbq beer for the remainder on the summer.

Cerebral foeder hits so well. Carb on point with the tiny bubble love. Need more cerebral funkies! Lemony dry finish deliciousness.

Love these blends, the apple brandy and cognac come though a lot but balanced by the EC. Lots of vanilla, chocolate, and dried fruit notes. Hints of apple and leather, fun one!
