Carbon Brews Dark Forest
Dark Forest is a complex Brett Beer that reimagines an Imperial Stout through the lens of long-term barrel aging and mixed fermentation. Three years in bourbon barrels imparts deep layers of toasted oak, vanilla, and coconut, while a secondary fermentation on raspberries adds a vibrant, tart fruit character. The presence of Brettanomyces introduces subtle earthy funk and leather notes that integrate with the dark chocolate and roasted grain of the base. Blending with a kettle sour base provides a sharp acidity that balances the 11.5% ABV, resulting in a dry, multifaceted profile where fruit, wood, and funk coexist.
Appearance. Black (SRM 40+), opaque, with a thin, mocha-colored head that dissipates quickly due to acidity and high alcohol content; minimal lacing.
Aroma. High intensity; prominent jammy raspberry and dark chocolate are supported by heavy bourbon influence, featuring vanilla and toasted oak. A complex funk of leather and wet hay from the Brettanomyces melds with a sharp lactic tartness and subtle roasted coffee notes.
Taste. Bold raspberry tartness and dark roasted malts define the initial palate. The mid-palate reveals bourbon-soaked wood, vanilla, and dark fruit esters. Brettanomyces provides an earthy, dry character that cleanses the palate. Hop bitterness is moderate, though largely overshadowed by malt roast and acidity. The finish is long, dry, and lingering with a pleasant acidic snap and warming spirit notes.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a surprisingly dry finish for the style; moderate carbonation. Significant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated. Slight tannic astringency from raspberry seeds and oak aging contributes to a firm structure.
