Pax Verum Brewing Nectar of the Night

What the brewers say

“Brewed with Simcoe, Idaho 7, Citra Incognito, Citra Spectrum.”

What our panel thought

“Chocolate and red fruit in the aroma. Dark roast notes and a clean, soft chocolate flavor. Tempered pine and herbal licorice bitterness in the background. Chocolate and dark fruit appear as it warms. Slightly sweet and roasty finish with a lingering bitterness. Enough complexity to keep it interesting. Mouthfeel is heavier but really keeps everything together, especially on later sips.”

What our editors thought

“Sweet oak and a touch of charred oak in the aroma, with a light nuttiness and darker toasted bread notes. Citrus bursts in the sip, with light chocolate notes, a touch of drying cocoa-powder bitterness, and a body that rides up to the full line but never feels excessive. Artfully balanced in the way its story unfolds through the aroma and flavor.”
