Bauhaus Brew Labs x Hammerheart Brewing Company Gräor Alder the Grey Nordic Porter

 

Bauhaus Brew Labs x Hammerheart Brewing Company Gräor Alder the GreyNordic Porter.

8.8 % ABV, 28 IBU, Bauhaus Brew Labs, Minneapolis, Minnesota in collaboration with Hammerheart Brewing, 

Deep black, lush tan head. 

In the nose: getting spruce (wrong: juniper) and smoke, over cocoa and coffee. 

In the mouth: what was in the nose comes on the tongue, and it’s a smooth, but bittersweet thing. Significantly hoppy and bitter,  with creamy and smooth the order of the day. 

Alcohol lays low, until it doesn’t. Smoke grows. Roasted barley and rich malt makes this a mighty thing. 

Forged in collaboration with Hammerheart Brewing Co. in Ely, MN, Gråor: Alder the Grey is a nordic porter that channels the spirit of the north into liquid form. Alderwood smoked malt weaves through layers of chocolate, caramel, and roasted barley like fog through frozen pines, while our Haus-made botanical tincture of juniper, peppercorn, birchwood, cardamom, and rosemary conjures the raw essence of nordic wilderness. This hauntingly smooth tribute to the woods pours jet black at 8.8% ABV.
