Flarndip
Drekker Brewing Company

Picked up this pricey 500ML bottle because, well, I have bad judgment & little to no self-control.

The pour is Witcher stare black, with a nose like someone is firing marshmallow Nerfs at my head. Repeatedly. And most hitting me in the nostrils. A little vanilla. A lotta sweetness.

Flarndip is a flarge bigtern. This tastes like the world record of fitting 44 marshmallows in your mouth at once, then swilling a mediocre stout to wash the taste out – this is what you’re left with. OK, there’s a touch of vanilla, & I can almost imagine there is chocolate mixed in there somewhere. Barrel? None touched this beer. Simultaneously thin & cloyingly sweet, like drinking a glass of heavily sugared water. 500ML is going to be far, far, far too much for my various body parts to handle.

Priced like a premium barrel aged beer, but without the barrel, & really without anything other than 44 marshmallows. I will wait until someone gives me a shot of Drekker at a tasting before I’ll buy another of their BA beers. Sub-par.

 

Drekker Flarndip BBA Imperial Stout 10% ABV. Pours black with a 1+ finger light brown head that left no lacing. Nose is marshmallow, chocolate, and vanilla. Taste follows, plus roast malt, very light bourbon, moderately sweet, slightly bitter. Essentially a BBA s'mores beer, though no graham. Nose is much better than the taste. Excellent mouthfeel, overall outstanding. Sure wish they'd can this in larger quantities.

 

Bottle. A little tan head. Dark brown nearing black color.

All marshmallow and cocoa. Lots of chocolate. Vanilla like sweetness. Light barrel. The base beer feels a little light but I don’t mind because the marshmallow is so delicious.
