Lupulin Libations

The name says it all.

Lupulin glands are the tiny little yellow pockets of goodness in a hop cone that contain some essential ingredients for aroma and flavor in beer.

A libation is an alcoholic beverage, and of course beer fits into that category.

Lupulin Libations is dedicated to everything beer. I offer you a chance to have an experience with beer through my organized tasting sessions.

Beer Brief #38 - Silhouette



Brewery - Lift Bridge Brewing Company, Stillwater, Minnesota

Beer - Silhouette
Style - Imperial Stout
ABV - 10%

Color - Opaque black with a tan, milkshake head
Aroma - Toffee, milk chocolate, touch of coffee, some berry fruitiness, light alcohol
Flavor - Follows the aroma very closely, very cool transition from milk chocolate to bittersweet chocolate to dark chocolate to coffee, delicate fruit component, strong bitter finish
Verdict - This is a dang tasty imperial stout from a quality Minnesota brewery! That's all I have to say about that. Except for this: You'd be hard pressed to guess you're drinking a 10% brew after tasting this beauty...
