Advent Calendar Day 7

Stillwater Existent American Farmhouse Ale (7.4%) by Stillwater Artisanal

http://stillwaterales.blogspot.ca/



Poured dark brown with a good head.  Taste of caramel, malts, and chocolate and not too much hops.  It has a bit of a tangy fruitiness to it.  Finish is slightly bitter.

It's pretty good.  Buy.

  1. Existent American Farmhouse Ale by Stillwater Artisanal Brewery in CT. A strong ale at 7.4%. Easy pour with modest head, lingering froth on the glass. Fruity wheaty bouquet with a hint of cereal - shreddies or cheerios came to mind. Taste profile strong citrus, almost sour lemon overtop a wheaty palate. Needly carbonation. Aftertaste a bit bitter in back of throat. Food pairing essential. We paired it with some strong gruyere - matched very well. Spicey home nuts & bolts not so well. 2.5 bottlecaps out of 5 but could appeal to the fan of strong ales. Appetizer beverage.
