On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2014. A really strange smell on this. Looks like blurry dishwater and doesn't really have a head to talk about. Farty old cheese with hits of vomit. Oh, dear ... It's salty indeed, but some strange rotten fruits detected here as well. It's corn and grains. Not a really impressive performance in any way to be honest. A mess of a rating, but this was not to far off being a mess of a beer. 02.05.2014

On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2014. Looks quite deep and dark in the glass this but it has a brown shimmer and a lacing beige top. Mildly Bourbon and vanilla sweet in the nose, but it also has a hint of smoked junipers and lots of crackers! "Gjerne" crackers. Really grows in you this nose. It has a lovely lovely flavor. So balanced! Scary to think of that this is a 11 percent imp stout cause it tastes like velvet. It's not hard to pick up the smoke here, but it's so balanced and not overpowering at all lots of dark chocolate and strong roasted malts. Yeah, I'm really impressed. I even get a little chili like fruitiness in the lingering licorice and cocoa aftertaste. Nice - no, I'll go as far as to call this superb! 02.05.2014

On tap at the brewpub where the beer pours with a murky coffee looking body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma is smooth with malts and caramel malts and then hints of vague fruitiness. The taste delivers an interesting mix of soured citrus, some tartness, caramel malts and to a lesser extent chocolate brownie, dark roasted malts and a sliver of burnt maltiness. This comes together very different than most brews and leaves behind the sense of a thin body as well as a light palate cleansing.

Keg at the Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2014 - yellow session. 4th beer of the day. I was really pstched for this one. Dark caramel / black coloured pour with a nice tan head. Aroma is big veg, spicy green pepper, oak and dark choc. Flavour is more spicy pepper, veg, unroasted coffee bean, choc and sweet unrefined sugars. Semi-sweet, slightly cloying and lowish carbonation. Disappointed by this TBH. Far too much veg, pepper.

32oz growler pours with a clear deep copper body that has thin gold edges and supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up thick malty rich vibrant hops with pine and woodsy earthy spiciness as well as mild dank onion mixed with a green bell pepper note. Yes! I dig it. I like these aromatics. The taste delivers thick smoothness with only moderate pine and spicy and earthy hop bitterness. The hop flavor is a larger component as the malt sweetened tangelo, clementine and dank spicy onion hop flavor please the senses. Love it. This is rich deep hoppy goodness.

On tap at the brewpub where the beer pours with an opaque papery pale gold body that supports a thin white head. The aroma is big and cheesy feet that’s mostly blue cheese funk mixed with a slight sour mash like note. The cheesy aroma is prodigious. Wow. The taste comes across pretty thin in body and refreshing where liquid moldy funked up cheese assaults the senses but before you can do anything about it it quickly gets into tart and a bit of a puckering sensation. Far off in the background I get subtle yet pleasing sour mash notes. Wow! Interesting brew. The wife took one sip and refused to take a second one.

On tap at the brewpub where the beer pours with a slightly hazy deep gold body that supports a thin white head. The aroma offers up sweet malts, some grapefruit like hops and a soured sort of citrus note. The taste delivers round smooth sour notes rolling into a big grapefruit hoppiness that has tons of flavor and firm citrus hop bitterness. It stays full of citrus hops and modest sour to tart notes right into the finish. This is yet another refreshing summertime gem from Wilderness.

On tap at the brewpub where the beer pours with a clear amber body that has golden hues and supports an off white head. The aroma offers up roasted malts mixed with a mild degree of Noble to slightly lemon like citrus hops. The taste delivers roasty notes with roasted malts, lightly roasted coffee and then a sliver of burnt malts. It has a nice edge of citrus to tropical fruit to lemon grass like hoppy bitterness that works pretty good with the malt bill. In between these notes I get mild sweet fruity esters that help create more balance to the roastiness and hops.

On tap at the brewpub where the beer pours with an opaque deep gold body that supports a white head. The aroma offers up wheat notes and sweet smelling peach to apricot to apple fruity esters. The taste delivers fruity and slightly grainy wheat notes to start where the wheat creates some softness on the palate. It picks up a mild pleasing sour mash sort of note as well as growing hoppiness to midway and into the finish. It ends with some lingering peach and apple like fruity esters and modest kind of vague hop bitterness. This works well and the modest sour mash thing that’s going on is something I really like. Great summer brew with a pleasing crispness and a high degree of sessionability.
