When I was first teaching (a couple of centuries ago) I was given a really good piece of advice - "Take everything you do in the classroom seriously, but never take yourself too seriously" Beavertown brewery manage to do this beautifully. They state that "there's more to get from life if you open your mind to curiosity" They clearly live up to this as apparently the mastered interstellar travel - all on a Tuesday morning ( I think they may have made the last bit up). Their beers are branded with a very distinctive 60's sci fi vibe and I have been a fan for some time. (Hint, give Neck Oil a go)
Burnt is a Hoppy Porter and is really interesting. On the pour it looks like any other Porter and then it all changes. On the nose it has a raisin almost cassis smell, it offers a hint of smoke. Then, in the mouth it really challenges norms. Woody, piney, rich and full. Then it finishes with a hop burst that is both unexpected and fabulous. Like so many other beers in this companion box I really hope that they continue to brew this into the new year.
