Savor the Flavor: Tasting Notes
1801 is crafted for complexity, offering an intriguing layered experience that evolves from the first sip to the lingering finish.
The Coffee & Malt Foundation
- Roasted Coffee: We incorporate high-quality roasted coffee beans, providing a bold, authentic freshly brewed espresso character without excessive bitterness. This flavor note is prominent in the aroma and mid-palate, grounding the beer with a familiar, comforting warmth.
- Toasted Malt: The dark, toasted malts lay down a rich, smooth base, contributing a depth of flavor reminiscent of dark rye bread and caramelized sugar. This prevents the beer from being overly light and adds a satisfying body.
Complex Fruit & Spice Profiles
- Blackcurrant & Fig: The unique yeast strain (characteristic of a Saison) and malt bill interact to unlock delightful dark fruit notes. The prominent blackcurrant offers a pleasant, slightly tart acidity that cuts through the richness, while the subtle fig provides a sweet, jammy, and earthy undertone.
- Subtle Cocoa Finish: The experience culminates in a beautiful, lingering finish. A whisper of dark cocoa powder emerges late on the palate, contributing a dry, satisfying sweetness that pairs exquisitely with the residual coffee notes.
Overall Experience
Smooth, rich, and impeccably balanced. This is a beer that is made for the season, offering the complex fruitiness of a classic Saison with the comforting darkness and roast of a stout, all wrapped up in a dangerously drinkable package.
