Description
Pure Project is a small batch, ingredient-centric craft brewery with a mission to build community and a reverence for beer as an agricultural product by staying true to our ethos of quality ingredients, sustainability, and attention to detail.
To us, beer is art.

We believe every beer should tell a story; just like a world class meal, a perfect cup of coffee or a timeless wine, and we aim to bring that same level of passion, creativity and artistry to the ever evolving craft beer community.

We look forward to sharing our art with that movement by providing an experiential brand to give context to the beer in your glass.

Bottle at home, picked up from Pure Project, Carlsbad, California, 24th December 25. Pours black and thick. Aroma is chocolate, marshmallow and roasted malts. Taste is slick, rich, chocolate and marshmallow, sweet, but balanced - decadent

500mL bottle, pours black with a tiny head. Aroma has plenty of roasted malt, a touch of coconut, and some dark sugars. Flavour is moderately sweet, with bold coffee, deep roast, moderate coconut, and dark sugars. A bit brutal but has a deep coffee character that lingers forever. Very good.

Dark brown. No head. Dark chocolate, light vanilla or coconut. Thick body. The adjuncts aren't super strong here, but the base is decent. It does feel like it could use some barrel aging.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy grapefruit gold with a large foamy white head that persisted. Aroma is very tropical - yet earth/garlic/onion stands out. Med body. Juicy and mildly sweet. Enough bitter to barely balance the malt. Flavor is onion, pineapple, and pale fruit. Maybe some green melon. Seems to get dryer with time. Flavor is not super strong, but it is quite firm. Also delicious.

On tap at Pure Project - Carlsbad, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of complex vanilla beans, big bourbon barrel complexity, and nicely fermented out dark sugars. Flavour is extremely rich, with huge bourbon barrels dominating this, accentuating beautifully by high-quality vanilla beans, and dark sugars. Rich, complex, decadent, smooth palate. Beauty.

On tap at Pure Project - Miramar, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma exudes huge coconut upfront, accentuated by huge bourbon barrels, dark sugars, and molasses. Flavour is remarkably rich, complex and decadent, with huge coconut, dark chocolate, dark sugars, and big bourbon barrels. Massive coconut and bourbon with endless depth and complexity. Absolutely sublime.
