Holiday Ale # 4 – Cyber Monday

Mobcraft-Cyber-Monday-Bourbon-Barrel-Aged-Cherry-Stout-
A little more mercantile than merry but also democratic. That is how Mobcraft in Wisconsin rolls when they brew. And this time to honor of internet buying they have a barrel aged cherry accented stout to help you get through the checkout process.

“Cyber Monday is a smooth, full bodied, black as night stout with plenty of bourbon on the nose and hints of tart cherry. It’s heavy mouthfeel leads into distinct flavors of whisky and cherry that ends with a nice long toasty finish. This Russian Imperial Stout with cherries was aged for 10 months in 12 year bourbon barrels.”

1 Ingredient too many – Don Durio

First off a cashew pilsner does not sound very appetizing. Then you add in the notorious Durian “fruit” which even the brewer, MobCraft describes as smelling of “onions or rotting meat” and this has stunt brew written all over it. Thanks be that Wisconsin is far enough away from L.A. that I won’t have to smell this.

Or maybe I can carefully open the essence of Durian liquid that I received from my Oregon kin and place some drops in a Budweiser to see what happens.

Hop Gose

I have mentioned the Wisconsin brewer MobCraft on a couple of occasions and now have cause to do so again.

I had a (very) salty Gose at the Eagle Rock Session Fest a week+ back and it led me to look at the style again and I ran across this “Only in American Craft brewing” example of a mash-up….

The label isn’t one of my favorites but this type of hybrid does.  It is the type of beer that might get hop heads to try a new style and I think the combo just might work.
