Thor's Equinox
Odin Brewing Company

Bottle from my brother. Thanks, Bill! Haxy, murky clear dark copper pour, small soapy head. Aroma of pit fruit and a bit of brown sugar. Taste comes on strong, biting, sweet. Plenty of warmth at the back, but finishes weak. Dry, sweet, and a bit

 

bottle into glass
Medium light, off white head. Clear, deep auburn/brunette color with much reddish overtones. Candied spice and sweet malt aroma. A mildly sharp edge to the taste and finish. There is also an alcohol warmth late in the taste and well into the finish. Those of you who have savored high alcohol beers such as many Belgian ales and imperial IPAs on an empty stomach, will know that there is usually a pleasant warm contented glow in your stomach that cannot be achieved with other alcoholic beverages. This beer provides this sensation but will not influence this reviewer's rating. The flavor has a touch of nutmeg and is not sweet as far as these styles go. There is a brief period in the finish where some of the character of fine Belgian ales is present. It's good.

 

Low rating due to metallic taste. Abv is masked well. But the metallic taste is harsh and it over rides all flavor profile.

Drain Pour.

Thor's Equinox was not one of Odin's grander efforts. While it poured nicely and drank easily enough, I was expecting more body and nose in a Belgian dark. It's thinness, bland fruit qualities and lack of character in the mouthfeel made this beer very blasé unnecessarily. I have enjoyed Odin's other offerings, but will not be buying this one again for a while.

 

 

Very enjoyable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is absolutely my favorite beer. I'm not a huge lover of hops, and this really disguises the hop flavor well and gives it an amazing chocolaty (not coffee) flavor that i just cant help but gulp down.
