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.
6/10
A dark reddish brown ale with a thick frothy lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, light peppery character, à bit off. In mouth, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, licorice, alcohol warmth, light off notes, so-so.

The Sampler, Brooklyn 650ml: Pours orange with a white head. Aroma is honey, and plenty of it; Belgian yeast, ample amounts of course; and plenty of fruitiness. Taste is really honey forward, but it blends well with the well enough with the tripel backbone. Good, but not the best I’ve seen from Grimm.

Bottle shared in NYC - thanks to Sander. Pours mostly clear gold with a creamy white head. The nose has bready malts, some leafy hops. Medium sweet flavor, some further bread, some ripening citrus. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary finish, more bread, light Belgian yeast, some berries, lingering leafy hops. So so.
