Burial Beer Fall of the Damned (2019)

**Aroma:** “Candy aromas dominate, rem- iniscent of Sweet Tarts and Smarties. Very low spicy hops with an intriguing spice aroma. Cooked honey and a white-grape-like sweetness with a little sharpness.” **Flavor:** “Mostly grain sweetness up front, almost candy-like, followed by a medium level of hops bitterness with a dry, sharp, highly carbonated, mostly balanced finish. Very subtle earthy spiced hops note. Nice tartness. The beer has a dry wine character with some fruity sweetness.” **Overall:** “This beer provides some sweet flavors with a dry finish. There’s a bit of candy-like sweetness, perhaps from the gluten-free malts. Wine-like and high in carbonation, this beer could use more hops aromatics to make it more beer-like; tastes like a lightly hopped rice beer.”

Hazy, deep-salmon pour; great head retention. Blackberry, raspberry dominate nose; notes of seeds, herbs, Brett-driven spice and leather. Solid sweetness from the fruit, with a sour, balanced backnote. Light minerality, light raspberry smokiness. Touch of leathery funk for balance. Finishes off-dry, clean, light.

“Dark fruit, light caramel, and whiskey in the nose. Burnt toast and bitter dark malts lead into a sweet, deep butterscotch finish. Huge chocolate and roast notes, stone fruit mixed with subtle leather.”
