Speciation Artisan Ales Spiced Stop Codon
Sour Ale 6 º
This foeder-aged Straight Sour Beer presents an intricate blend of wood-aged character and autumnal spices. The amber base delivers a robust backdrop for bright orange zest and the earthy depth of cocoa nibs. A unique spice melange of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice creates warmth, while fenugreek provides a subtle maple-like sweetness that complements the rich caramel back-sweetening. Exotic tamarind enhances the sharp lactic acidity, adding a tangy fruit dimension alongside smooth vanilla. The result is a multi-layered sensory experience where tartness and spice-driven complexity find balance against a plush, malt-forward body.
Appearance. Deep copper to amber (12–16 SRM). Slightly hazy appearance with a thin, off-white head that dissipates relatively quickly, typical of high-acidity styles.
Aroma. High intensity of clean lactic sourness. Prominent notes of cinnamon and nutmeg are layered with earthy cocoa and a maple-like fenugreek scent. Toasted caramel malt and citrusy orange zest provide depth, while vanilla and wood-aged foeder notes add complexity. No hop aroma.
Taste. Initial impact of sharp lactic acidity is followed by a rich, caramel malt sweetness. Spice flavors of cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg dominate the mid-palate, complemented by tart tamarind and dark chocolate notes from the cocoa nibs. Bitterness is low; the finish is a lingering balance of tangy acidity and spiced sweetness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a rounded, creamy texture from the caramel back-sweetening. Moderate carbonation. A gentle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, with a smooth, wood-softened mouthfeel.
