Amalgam Brewing Oloroso

“Big ripe peach aroma. Flavor follows up with substantial ripe peach plus a big lactic sourness and low funk. Slight grainy malt. The finish is quite fruity with exaggerated sweet peach notes.”

“Sweet berry notes coupled with hints of orange creamsicle, brown sugar, vanilla. In the flavor, a bold acidic and tart punch of blackberry and currant.”

__Aroma:__ “A dance between tart cherry and sweet peach with a little apricot in the back. The fruit is a bit hidden with a sort of lactic sour milk aroma up front. A bit earthy and wet hay. Some low-level general fruitiness in the background.” __Flavor:__ “Tart citrus flavor that reminds me of Smarties candy, even with a light chalkiness. Chewy body with a medium carbonation. Finishes with a medium tartness that is medium lasting. As it warms, the peach and cherries start to come out. From the funk, it tastes like my grandfather's tack room smelled: straw, dust, sweat, leather. Low overall fruit with intense citric acidity. Very dry.” __Overall:__ “The fruit character is somewhat hidden, but if you let this beer warm up slightly it will expose the peach and cherry flavors. The complexity is enjoyable with the funk, fruitiness, and tartness playing well off one another. A bit more fruit and a bit less acidity would make beer better.”
