Nepo Brewing - Nepomucen

This Alternative Grain Beer presents as a decadent Multigrain Wine, offering a lush, viscous experience driven by its high extract density. The complex grain bill provides a deep, bready foundation that creates a velvety texture, perfectly carrying intense notes of sweet vanilla and bright, zesty orange peel. At 12% ABV, it radiates a comforting, well-integrated warmth. The sensory profile is dominated by creamy sweetness and citrus aromatics, reminiscent of a gourmet dessert, while the multi-grain base ensures a robust, cereal-forward structure. It is a harmonious marriage of rich fermentables and vibrant adjuncts that lingers through a thick, luxurious finish.

Appearance. Deep amber to light copper (14-17 SRM). Pours with a thick, creamy, off-white head that exhibits moderate retention and significant lacing. Slight haze is present, typical of a high-protein multigrain bill and high gravity.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant sweet vanilla and fresh orange zest aromatics lead the profile. Beneath the adjuncts lies a rich, doughy, and bready malt character with hints of honey and toasted cereal. Very low hop presence; alcohol is noticeable as a clean, spicy warmth without being fusel.

Taste. Intensely flavorful with an initial impression of sweet orange oil and marshmallow-like vanilla. The malt profile is complex, featuring flavors of fresh bread, raw grain, and a slight nutty quality from the alternative grains. Bitterness is low, providing just enough structure to balance the high residual sugar. The finish is long, sweet, and warming, with the orange providing a subtle, bright counterpoint.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and highly viscous with a coating, syrupy texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, enhancing the creamy, silk-like mouthfeel derived from the grains. Significant alcohol warmth is present but remains smooth. Low astringency.
