Falling Knife Matriarch Brooklyn Biscotti Pastry Stout

Falling Knife Matriarch Brooklyn Biscotti Pastry Stout. With orange, vanilla & fresh baked New York biscotti.

5% ABV, Falling Knife Brewing, Minneapolis, MN. 


And here we have what just may be the only beer named in honor of a Supreme Court justice. I could be wrong. Brewed in collaboration with Witch Hunt, a local gender equity focused beer organization. I think maybe RBG liked a snack of biscotti and oranges, I guess? And now here it is in beer form.


Solid blackness, utter opacity, slim brown head.

In the nose: big orange notes, mixed with baked bread. And, hey, vanilla. Nice.

In the mouth: Well-tempered sweetness hits first. Citrus splash on the palate. Warm, toasted malt takes the stage next. Just enough hops for balance. Medium bodied. Excellent drinkability. Some cocoa comes thorough. Not too sweet, not too strong. Hey, I’m liking it.
