Description
Grimm Artisanal Ales is a Brooklyn-based brewery founded in 2013 by Joe and Lauren Grimm after nearly a decade of tinkering with fermentation. Grimm specializes in concise, elegant ales epitomizing the creative, experimental spirit of the American artisanal beer revolution. With each limited edition release, we seek to push the boundaries of style and flavor in order to create beers with the utmost depth and complexity. For five years, Grimm operated as a nomadic brewery. Joe and Lauren would develop each recipe in the kitchen of their Gowanus apartment and travel to existing breweries near and far to craft their commercial beers.

Bomber shared by Briand courtesy of Ray. Pouring a deep black with reddish-brown highlights & a thin ruddy head. The nose is coffee a bit sweet & bitter chocolate. Med-thin bodied, the taste is roasty dark bitter coffee. A decent dark beer but a bit watery. The main takeaway is roastiness.

Bottle during poker as I won some righteous bucks. Hazy light gold pour. Very fragrant nose of tropical fruits and flowers. Tastes of mangos, pineapple, lemon, lactose, grass. Very tart and fruity palate. Really delicious I was very drunk by time I drank this bottle but loved it.

Proletariat, NYC tap: Pours hazy golden yellow (really more yellow) with a white head. Aroma is vinegar, fruit, funk, and yeast. You can tell that it will be sour in the nose. Taste is sour and very citric, as in citric acid. Not much bitterness from the hops, but plenty of fruitiness. Very sour. Pretty good.
