Speciation Artisan Ales Stop Codon (2021)
Stop Codon (2021) is a complex, foeder-aged spontaneous amber ale that marries two years of wood-aged depth with a vibrant, spicy adjunct profile. An amber base provides a subtle toasted malt foundation, now transformed by wild yeast into a tapestry of leather, wet hay, and aged funk. Bright bursts of orange zest and the sharp, tangy zing of tamarind enliven the mid-palate, while cocoa nibs contribute a dusty, earthy resonance rather than chocolate sweetness. Fenugreek threads through the finish with a peculiar maple-like spice, balancing the beer's bone-dry, acidic profile. It is a masterful, ever-evolving exploration of Brett Beer fermentation and culinary layering.
Appearance. Deep amber to copper (14-17 SRM) with a slight haziness from the fruit and spice additions. Pours with a thin, ivory head that dissipates quickly to a persistent collar, exhibiting limited lacing common to long-aged wild ales.
Aroma. High intensity. A complex bouquet of funk including horse blanket and aged hay is layered over citrusy orange zest and the dark, earthy scent of raw cocoa nibs. Distinctive spicy notes of fenugreek provide a maple-like aromatic character that contrasts with the sharp, acidic tang of tamarind and a faint, woody oak presence.
Taste. Initial impression is sharply tart and dry. An understated toasted malt flavor is quickly overtaken by a medley of citrus and tangy tamarind. The fermentation character provides significant depth with notes of leather and barnyard funk. Cocoa nibs add a subtle, drying earthy bitterness toward the finish, while fenugreek lends a unique savory-sweet spice. Bitterness is low, and the finish is long, bone-dry, and crisp with lingering acidity.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, highly attenuated character. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a prickly sensation on the tongue. There is a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and a notable absence of astringency despite the extensive wood aging and spice additions.
