Malt 9 º

Larkin’s Brewing Co

This powerful Experimental Beer pushes boundaries with a potent 9% ABV and a functional caffeine infusion. Fermented with Kveik yeast, it displays a vibrant profile of orange marmalade, dried citrus peel, and tropical fruit esters. The addition of botanicals introduces complex layers of dried herbs and floral essences that intertwine with a clean, high-alcohol backbone. It presents a modern, high-energy sensory experience where the yeast-derived fruitiness meets a crisp botanical sharpness. This is a concentrated, aromatically intense beverage designed for impact, balancing a moderate malt sweetness against a lingering, slightly medicinal botanical finish and a noticeable, clean alcoholic warmth.

Appearance. Deep gold to amber (9-12 SRM). Moderate white head with fair retention and light lacing. Slight haze is present, which is characteristic of traditional kveik fermentation.

Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of orange peel and pineapple esters from the kveik yeast. Strong botanical presence offering notes of dried herbs, earthy spice, and floral essences. Malt aroma is low, providing a light grainy sweetness. Alcohol is noticeable but clean and well-integrated.

Taste. A powerful initial impression of citrus marmalade and mixed botanicals. The kveik yeast provides a firm foundation of orange and stone fruit flavors. Malt flavor is moderate and grainy-sweet, providing necessary body to support the 9% ABV. Bitterness is moderate, derived more from botanicals than hops, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the fruitiness. The finish is long and warming with a lingering herbal character and a clean, dry alcoholic snap.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a somewhat oily texture from the botanical oils and flavorings. Moderate carbonation. Significant alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its strength. A slight botanical astringency adds to the crispness of the finish.
