Two Brothers Heliocentric Bragot

Bottle (22oz). Clear pale amber with a huge fizzy off-white head. Sweet aroma of light cereal grain and buckwheat honey, some mild background dry floral hop bitterness. The taste is honey with dry herbal bitterness and, sadly, metal. Light but bright mouthfeel, mild to no carbonation, hardly any alcohol presence; a little harshness outlasts the sweetness in the finish. Not bad .... maybe not fresh enough? Bottle was purchased just over a year ago, but has been refrigerated most of that time, so ....

Orange to amber with an airy white quickly fading head. Aroma of multi grain, honey and fruit. Taste of honey, malt, alcohol and apples. Full mouth feel that coats the tongue and finishes up with an aftertaste of honey. The honey comes out more a bit as this one warms. Decent, but not great but in a style I’m not to used to so it was a nice change of pace.

Beautiful amber color; high carbonation, nice thin perlage, big frothy head. The aroma immediately shows some sourness, confirmed by the flavor; the body is now thin, there is light caramel and very light liquorice, maybe a byproduct of the undesired fermentation. The bottle is not fresh, almost 2 years old, and it hasn’t kept up gracefully.

Bottled. A hazy light amber bragot with a beige head. The aroma is ssweet with strong notes of fruit as well as medium notes of malt, alcohol, and caramel, and a touch of oxidation. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, metal, alcohol, berries, and oxidation. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Hazy light golden pour with little head. The aroma is mostly sweet honey and some light malts as well. Honey dominant flavor, not overly sweet. Some underlying malt base is a bit bready I guess. Some fruitiness is present as well. Not bad, but I guess I found it to be rather uninteresting.

Pours with low particulate in a honey-colored body under a fast, cream-colored head. Tart, yeasty aroma, mild sour milk, green leaves, and apple pie. Heavy in the mouth with a carbonated lift and a long spicy linger. Mild astringence after in the mouth, mild acids in the gut. Flavor is well spiced and is dominated by a tart fruitiness... green apple, green grape and raspberry. Sadly, its honeyed hue was the only essence of honey witnessed in a beer which I expected to be rather mead-like. It’s even listed here as a mead, isn’t it? Weird, because the label reads ’’Ale Brewed with Honey’’. I’d call this a Spice/Herb/Vegetable.
