Funky Fluid Master Blend #04
Strong Ale 16 º
This monumental collaboration with Norway’s Lervig Rackhouse presents an ultra-potent, barrel-matured interpretation of a British Strong Ale. A meticulous twenty-four-month residence in bourbon barrels has melded Imperial Stout and Barley Wine into a viscous, mahogany-hued masterpiece. The sensory profile is a decadent tapestry of aromatic vanilla beans, toasted cashews, and rich cocoa nibs, layered over deep caramel and toffee malt foundations. On the palate, a luxurious, chewy texture carries the significant warmth of the 16% ABV, tempered by intense dark chocolate and nutty complexity. Subtle earthy hop notes provide a necessary counterpoint to the lingering, dessert-sweet finish of oak and dried dark fruits.
Appearance. Deep reddish-brown to nearly opaque; dark mahogany highlights. Low to moderate tan-colored head with modest retention and light lacing, typical for such high alcoholic strength.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of rich caramel, toffee, and nutty specialty malts. Pronounced notes of bourbon-soaked oak, creamy vanilla, and dark chocolate cocoa nibs. Moderate fruity esters suggesting raisins and plums, with a noticeable but well-integrated alcohol presence.
Taste. Initial impression is exceptionally rich and malty-sweet. Deep flavors of toffee, toasted cashews, and bitter cocoa dominate the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness provides balance against the heavy malt and adjunct sugars. Fermentation character includes dark fruit esters and a smooth, warming bourbon character. The finish is long and sweet, with lingering notes of vanilla and charred oak.
Mouthfeel. Full and viscous, bordering on chewy. Carbonation is low to moderate, providing a smooth, velvet-like texture. Significant alcohol warmth is present and warming, reflecting the high gravity without being harsh.
