Burial Beer Co Forsaken Blatherings of Nonsequitur

What the brewers say

“Imperial stout with decaf coffee, coconut milk, coconut, vanilla bean, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, pumpkin seeds.”

What our panel thought

“Inviting baking spices, roast-malt notes on the nose with a hint of green coffee. Cinnamon, ginger notes wrestle with the coffee, tempered by a vanilla sweetness. Viscous body.”

What our editors thought

“Whimsical spicing in the nose, as clove adds an edge to the familiar cinnamon, with a bit of coffee. But it’s full-on pumpkin-spice latte in the flavor, silky smooth. The prominent spice checks a significant sweetness.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

No Label Brewing Co Nightmare On 1st Street (2023)

“Boozy and malty with reserved vanilla and nutmeg. Pleasant alcohol warmth. Big caramel notes interplay with pumpkin spice. Some peppery spice in the back end. Dangerous and well-balanced. Complex, fun, and smooth.”

Two Roads Brewing Co Roadsmary's Baby

“Aroma of sweet, caramelized sugars and vanilla with a touch of spice—like a spiced rum. Tasting, complex profile of bread crust, raisins, pumpkin, white pepper, vanilla. Finishes fairly dry and boozy. Not sweet.”

Burial Beer Co Walking Through the Abyss into Nonsequitur

“Aromas of coffee, cinnamon, vanilla, caramel, pistachio, and a light hint of star anise create a wildly complex nose that doesn’t hide the booze. Gets lost in its own complexity as flavor notes all hit simultaneously.”
