Pours cloudy with a two inch, tightly packed, off-white foam. This is the last beer of the ones they have pictures on their site for that I have had to try. FFF's are one of the top original craft brewery's that continually push the boundries of style and their minor runs are way more interesting than a bunch of others full efforts. There's something really unique about the taste and sort of refreshing for a rocket fuel brew. Not their best, but throughly enjoyable, original, and totally drinkable. A wee bit of lingering hop bitterness I could do without, but now I'm splitting hairs.ĭ: Love these guys, a Milk Imperial IPA, only FFF's pulls this kind of shit off. Maybe it's me, but I'd never guess the alcohol level of 11% abv by the taste. And this is a brew that could get a dude in trouble quick. The lacto is a background addition, makes the brew full and smooth without being overly pronounced. Lot's of flavors of tree fruits and citrus lend together. I think a big malt sweetness is coming, but it doesn't. FFF's signature to me is balance of complex brews, this has got it. S: Fruit, citrus, floral, toasty malt, amd something else. Overall – A very rich, super flavorful, and yet still rather approachable, non-cloying and delicious brew.A:Orangey, pale gold, slighly cloudy, big foamy, off-white head of medium retention. Overall, the thick and chewy feel is fantastic for the rich dessert flavors of the brew and make this on a nice slow sipper. Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is thick and chewy with a carbonation level that is medium. With an increase in the coffee and the milk chocolate throughout, and a little bit of a warming boozy taste coming in at the very end, one is left with a fudgy coconut brownie like taste to linger on the tongue. All the while a little bit of char and coffee also join as with some thick fudge like flavors and some light nut and smoke joining in as well. At the same time there is a good showing of vanilla and crème, both of which grow slightly more intense as the taste moves forward. ![]() Taste - The taste begins with a nice roasty and toasty flavor with a huge showing of milk chocolate and a good dose of coconut. Overall, the aroma is akin to a mounds bar, inviting one to sip with each waft. Along with these smells comes some lightly roasted coffee and charred malt, as well as some notes of crème and milk. Smell – The aroma is huge of a milk chocolate and coconut smell mixed with lots of vanilla, molasses, and caramel. Upon swirling the brew in the snifter, sticky fingers of the brew are seen clinging to the glass, showing off the bigness of the brew, with the fingers slowly receding back to the bottom of the vessel. The head fades rather slowly over time, leaving a bit of foamy lace on the sides of the glass. Jan 16, 2022Īppearance – The beer pours a deep brown, nearly black color with a one finger head of tan colored foam. Presentation: Packaged in a standard twelve-ounce aluminum can, served in a La Fin du Monde Tulip. Once again, Martin House has done very well. Mouth feel: Smooth and full, very soft, more like cream than beer, with the slightest hint of carbonation.ĭrinkability/notes: A stunning dessert beer, the appellation "over the top" seem inadequate, and worthy of pairing with the finest chocolate confections, or served alone. Towards the close, There is a surge of bitter cocoa, with the finish being rather dry, with a lingering, mild note of earth. Later in the taste, milk chocolate rises. Soon after, there is a surge of molasses. ![]() The alcohol offers a subtle sweet and spicy note, although its presence is felt in its warmth, more than it is tasted. While this is lesser to the chocolate, it is still very prominent. ![]() Taste: Upon tasting, there is a massive surge of dark and sweet chocolate and a considerable wave of coconut. The aroma is reminiscent of a dark chocolate coconut bon-bon. There is not the slightest intimation of the quite high ABV of twelve percent. The lacing presents as scattered patches of foam about the glass wall.Īroma: The aroma is over the top, with massive amounts of coconut and bitter cocoa, freshly ground coffee, vanilla and a little sweet caramel. Fat bubbles cling to the glass wall in clumps, like diamonds embedded in dark earth. No highlights can be seen, even at the narrowest point of the glass and before a strong light. Appearance A staggeringly large, incredibly dense and persistent cocoa-colored head rides atop a dark amber body.
