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 #50 - Foundation Stout


Brewery - Badger Hill Brewing Company, Minnetonka, Minnesota

Beer - Foundation Stout

Style - American Stout

ABV - 6.3%

IBU - 45

Color - Black with a dark brown edge showing when held up to light, light tan head

Aroma - Light roast coffee, chocolate muffin, slight black licorice, bit of berry fruit

Flavor - Molasses, coffee, dark chocolate, very subtle blackberry, big bitterness

Verdict - This is a highly enjoyable brew that surprises with it's drinkability. Not as rich or full bodied as one might expect from a 6.3% stout, the slight dryness and lighter mouthfeel make this beer one you could revisit a few times in a single evening. I know on one particular occasion, I did just that while enjoying a burger at Red Robin...
