Mini Molé'd Almendrado from Sapwood Cellars Brewery

8 months ago

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Can shared by CLW--thanks, Chris! Opaque black, nice viscosity, no head or lacing. Aroma is strong cinnamon, vanilla, cacao nibs, mild chili pepper. Taste is initial blast of strong chili flavor and heat over cinnamon, milder vanilla, cacao nibs, but in the background. As this sits/palate adjusts, the heat is WAY less noticeable and the flavors emerge--whatever the reason, let this breathe! Thin texture, pepper heat, average carbonation and finish as taste. There is a lot of flavor here but you've got to let the heat calm down. Taste eventually almost approximates aroma, which is great.

Watermelon Kolsch - Oak-Aged from Brewery Ommegang

8 months ago

5.4/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 4 Texture 7 Overall 5

Can shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ! Lightly hazy honey brown with reddish hue, no sparkle, thin cap of head with ring, and light lacing. Aroma is sweet agave, watermelon, light vanilla. Taste is super strong sweet, sugary watermelon with hint of lime, mild wood. Frothy texture, soft carbonation finish as taste with late dry yeastiness. Interesting, for sure, but hard to find the Kolsch. So sweet it reminds me of a cross between an air freshener, hard candy and urinal puck. Not going to finish.
