Description
Blind Enthusiasm is driven by our passion for great beer and fine food. We brew three distinct types of beer at two locations in Edmonton. We brew crisp ales and lagers as well as complex barrel-aged beers at the Market, located alongside our restaurant, Biera. At The Monolith we’re running one of largest barrel-fermented beer programs in Canada.

Bottle pour at Blind Enthusiasm, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has musty apple skins, gentle funk, and hay.

Amber-brown. Thin head. The peat really jumps out on the nose. On the palate, that's a peat bomb. There's some decent body to it, a bit of sweet toffeeish malt. It's interesting. I really like peat, the smoke is serious, and yet I'm thinking the base is solid, but you can't get into it too much because of all the peat. This is unsubtle.

375mL bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Tons of peat smoke and some dark malts on the nose. Flavour has a huge kick of peat smoke up front with a pretty solid malt base supporting it. Delivers peat with the subtelty of a sledgehammer and I'm here for it. I like this.
