Shred It!
Angry Chair Brewing

750ml capped bottle into Side Project BBT stemware.

Pouring this, its immediately apparent this is infect. Big head, muddy, chunky. Nose is sweet marshmallow, milk chocolate, and lightly tart red fruit. Its not bad but the red fruit acidity is an off flavor here. Beer opens with hints of cherry and raspberry tartness. Mellow acidity mixed in with notes of cocoa powder, chocolate, vanilla, and marshmallow. More of the same towards the middle but the red fruit flavors are apparent throughout. Body is full, chunky, and powdery. Low carbonation and filmy on the palate. Goes down messy with a lingering, tart aftertaste.

This one's a drain pour at this point. Just horribly infected.

 

From a 32oz crowler (!) filled at the brewery 06/29/23… so, it’s been around for a little over a week. Mostly because I was afraid of it. Served in a cervoise - because fancy glassware to drink my fancy coconut-chocolate ice cream-pecan-salted caramel-marshmallow stout out of.

Pours an unexpectedly thin-appearing, dark chocolatey brown with two fingers of fizzy head. Zippo for retention, with no cap, collar or pretty much any lacing at all to speak of.

Nose is Hersheys milk chocolate all day long. Hersheys Kisses, Hersheys syrup.

Taste is syrupy sweet and densely fudgy. I think I can tease out notes of marshmallow and coconut, mainly because I know they’re there, but mostly it’s straight up Hersheys syrup except maybe it’s a little like a Mallo Cup, too. I keep poking around for the ice cream, and pecans, and salted caramel and what-all but, really, I could just say Hersheys syrup and be done.

In contrast to its appearance, feel is thick, viscous and syrupy, mega-dense bodied with vanishingly gentle carbonation.

Overall, lol. The only indication of the better-than-10% abv was a slight, chocolate liquor-like boozy vapor in the sinuses. Totally absurd in concept and execution. I am enjoying the bejeesus out of it and am accordingly consumed with self-loathing. Likewise, I am thankful that my annual checkup and blood labs are nearly two months away. I’m probably going to drink this whole quart single-handedly and because mammosilenus is totally disgusted with me, I’ll most likely end up sleeping alone and wake up a diabetic.

Pours thick but looks like brown sludge. Tasted like Neapolitan ice cream to me, which is weird because there's not supposed to be any fruit in here.
