Sour Ale 6.4 º

Mad Scientist

Mad Scientist Trøffel is an indulgent Wild Specialty Beer that masterfully balances decadent dessert elements with a refreshing sour backbone. This dark-hued ale presents an intricate sensory profile driven by vibrant, jammy raspberries and rich cocoa, layered over a roasted base of coffee. The addition of punch ice cream powder introduces a nostalgic, creamy vanilla and subtle confectionery spice character that softens the sharp lactic acidity. Deep malt undertones of dark chocolate support the fruit, creating a multi-dimensional experience where the tartness of the berries is harmoniously rounded by luscious, velvet-like textures and bittersweet roasted notes.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to near-black (35-40 SRM); features a persistent, fine-bubbled pinkish-tan head with good lacing; opaque clarity due to the heavy addition of fruit and ice cream powder.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics featuring bright raspberry and dark chocolate. Secondary notes of freshly ground coffee and a distinct sweet, creamy vanilla scent reminiscent of melted ice cream are present. A clean lactic sourness provides a sharp, tangy counterpoint to the decadent, dessert-like sweetness.

Taste. An initial tart raspberry burst transitions into a complex mid-palate of bittersweet cocoa and roasted coffee. The punch ice cream powder adds a unique confectionery sweetness and rounded character. Bitterness is low, derived from roasted malts and coffee rather than hops. The finish is a lingering balance of berry acidity and chocolate creaminess.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a surprisingly creamy, smooth texture for a sour beer. Carbonation is moderate, providing a lively lift that prevents the dessert-like ingredients from becoming cloying. Very low alcohol warmth and minimal astringency.
