Off Color Scourge

A brash frontal assault of dark cocoa powder, freshly roasted coffee, and baked roadside pies tempered by the alluring, summer flowers and blueberry nectar from our native yeasts. French Kiln Coffee malt and classic British chocolate malt couple with the fermentation derived blueberry juice aromas reminiscent of natural processed Ethiopian coffees to create a ‘Blueberry Mocha’ amalgam. Mid-palate notes of peach, Tellicherry black pepper, and velvety gardenias succumb to a full bodied and fudgey, but dry and roasty finish. This dichotomy is balanced by the warming alcohols indicative of its Russian Imperial Stout/Belgian Dark Strong Ale hybrid parentage before fading into the inky, war strewn blackness of an Abbey felled during the Summer of the Late Rose.
