Description
Fonta Flora Brewery integrates the soul of agriculture with the artisanship of zymurgy to create a menagerie of rustic and savory libations. With an emphasis on seasonal flora, Fonta Flora brings English tradition and Belgian inspiration to the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina.

Fonta Flora utilizes local artists to help conceptualize the notion that fermentation is yet another medium for creating art. This uniquely artisan approach to beer yields a sustainable product filled with culture from our very own community.

750mL bottle. Pours black with minimal beige head. Aroma has bourbon, wood, coffee, almonds, marshmallow. Mouthfeel is pretty thick. Flavour has bourbon, vanilla, marshmallow. Very intense, not exactly coordinated, but also not a punch in the mouth. Enjoyable to drink.

Dark brown, inky, no head. The aroma has a lot of elements, hazelnut, almond, coffee, coconut. It's relatively thick, and again lots of elements competing. It's not that it doesn't come together, it's just that some elements come out well and some do nut. There's bitterness from the cassia, there's hazelnuts, and there's a little coconut and vanilla. I won't sweat the missing pieces, just liking the alcohol splash in the finish, and a decent base to carry the adjuncts.

750mL bottle, pours jet black with almost no head. Aroma is complex and decadent, with a wonderful mix of cinnamon, coffee, cocoa, dark sugars, and mixed bourbon. Flavour has some green peppers, coffee, dark sugars, light cinnamon, a touch of vanilla, and truculent bourbon. Oily palate. Ambitious blend of ingredients. Perhaps not the most cohesive or refined mix of ingredients, but it's pretty pleasant. Good.

Hazy golden beer, thin white head. Aroma has grapefruit and bittersweet lemon. Flavour has grapefruit and grassy hop up front, pine, dry lemon, a bit of bittersweet orange. Quite floral and peppery in the finish. Crisp, refreshing and pretty punchy.

Keg at CW Bermondsey. A mild haze on this orange beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Tart, never acid. A spot of lemon sherbet. Light sweet grape on the end. Tidy sour.
