Two Chefs Brewing

This Imperial Straight Sour Beer presents a bold, sensory collision of tart lactic acidity and the comforting warmth of a spiced pumpkin pie. Despite the high 9.1% ABV, the profile remains refreshing yet remarkably robust due to the double-mashing process. Expect a sharp, lemony sourness at the forefront, followed by a savory, bready malt backbone reminiscent of crust. Hints of autumnal spice and cooked pumpkin weave through the palate, providing a Fully Baked character that softens the intensity of the acid. It finishes crisp and surprisingly dry, with a lingering, warming alcohol presence that anchors the complex, savory-sweet profile.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale amber with a distinct orange hue; hazy to cloudy. Moderate white head with fair retention and slight lacing, affected by high acidity and alcohol.

Aroma. High intensity lactic sourness leads, followed by moderate notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and squash-like pumpkin. Clean fermentation with secondary aromas of biscuity malt and subtle tart apple esters. No hop aroma.

Taste. Sharp, clean lactic sourness dominates the initial impression. A rich, bready, and biscuit-like malt flavor provides a solid foundation for the pumpkin and spice notes. Hop bitterness is undetectable. The finish is off-dry with a lingering tartness and a noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth.

Mouthfeel. Medium body, unusually substantial for the style due to the double mash, with moderate carbonation. Noticeable alcohol warmth is present. Crisp, mouth-watering acidity with no astringency.
