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.

Pours pink-tinged gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Hibiscus and rose aromas. Soft with sweet dough upfront turning to sour lactic middle before the lasting marshmallow and yeast finish.

Pours peach colored. Small white head. Smell is dry. Taste is full. Fruity in a weird way. Not nearly as sour as expected ( is it even sour?) . Ok. Perfumy. Plus im not sure about this no boil thing. Boiling sterelizes the beer and extracts precious hopfluids to maintain the beer’s drinkability. Makes you think the sourness was an infection due to the no-sterelizing factor ( which makes it nearly impossible to not be infected)

Bomber purchased at a Long Island Whole Foods - thick black pour - intense nose of roast, espresso, licorice, smoke, dark chocolate - fairly thick mouthfeel - flavor is bittersweet chocolate up front, cut by a moderate acidity - later some deep roast, smoke - alcohl warmth late becomes somewhat boozy after a while, leading to downright heat in the throat - has a lot of potential to be world class, but some rough edges in the flavor need to be smoothed out.
