Alchemist Petit Mutant

As a girl we loves fruit and funk in her beer I can’t help but adore this. I’d write more but I haven’t had this in about four months and I’m going of memory.

In short: A very sweet syrupy cherry beer. Acceptable sipper even if not my style of beer.
How: Tap at brewpub december 2007
The look: Clear red body with a little off-white ring of foam
In long: Cherries and sweetness are the two dominant flavours here. I was extremely surprised to see the ratebeer commercial description mentioning “…fermented with Brettanomyces…”. I really didn’t get any brett notes at all. The beer felt like a sweetened fruit salad with extra extra cherries. Some cheese notes (yeast?). Alcohol apparent. Syrupy body. A sipper. Usually I find very sweet fruity beers as interesting as a romantic comedy starring Meg Ryan. While not quite my type of beer I found this one as interesting as a romantic comedy starring Meg Ryan rated R for nudity and scenes of sexuality.

BBF 07. Pours a slightly hazy light woody brownish amber with a nice fluffy tight head. Aroma is brett, farmhouse funk, lot sof earthy and phenolic tones, and moderate amounts of old cherries- some wood and vanilla. Flavor is moderately sweet and syrupy with some slight artificial-like cherry, modest dirty funk, with a decent tartness in the end. Too earthy and dirty for me- too much going on and nothing was very good. Better than the Bachus at least.

(Draught) Pours a clear amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of black cherry, wood, medinical, and light citric notes. Flavor of oak, black cherries, cough syrup, dirty sock, and light microflora sourness.

Pours a hazy orange/red with a sudsy white head. Some cherry notes in aroma and flavor, but nothing else worth writing about. This is what I wrote. Sorry Clark for the crappy review, but this is all I wrote and can remember. Tick..Tick..
