Nemesis Divina
WarPigs Brewing USA

Black in color with minimal light penetration. There’s a three quarter inch head of frothy beige head. There’s a bit of soapy lacing on the glass. The nose is of baker’s chocolate. I am tasting cocoa and piney hops. The mouth is dry and medium bodied.

 

12 oz can, canned 02/09/2023. A new one to me from WarPigs, acquired a single can as part of a mixed six pack at the local Binny's.

Poured to Schlitz clear glass beer mug.
A: Pours a nice cola brown, not black or opaque, but it looks nice. Big almost two fingers worth of tan froth. Head looks fluffy & delicious, and leaves good strands of lacing.
S: Pleasant earthy herbal hoppiness. Dark coffee malt underneath.
T: Crisp, herbal, earthy, hoppy. Lightly piney. It's actually got very good balance here. The dark roastiness of the malts is undermined a bit by the hops, but it still plays out nicely. Earthy, herbal, slightly twiggy tasting, notes of caramel. It's pretty dang good, mate. I could see some saying it almost enters "Black IPA" territory at times..
F: Smooth, crisp, wet. Good carbonation, medium-body, excellent drinkability for the modest abv. Some piney bitterness leftover on the finish.. Overall, this is definitely a porter i would drink again & recommend.

WarPigs Nemesis Divina -----4/5

This is a dark brown beer, not see-through but the edges are brown. Smell is subdued coffee grounds and hops. Smoked malt, more coffee and pine hops up front, the back end is mildly sweet, all the flavors mesh together very well and it's just thin enough - not heavy. An absolutely great porter

I got three cans of this beer from a mixed 12pck that I bought from my local meijer store. It poured an opaque dark with khaki head that is leaving some lace. The scent had subtle pine notes with hints of citrus. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with dark roast malt with pine resin and subtle citrus highlights. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.

12oz can from MK.IV variety pk canned 3/2/23 into a tulip glass.
L: Pours deep brown w a 2" med tan/khaki creamy & rocky head w excellent retention, lightly visible carbo, a tight center cap, good lacing with light sheeting and good banding.
S: Floral, vinous, plant oils, distant candy, very light malts.
T: Light cocoa, malted milk balls, floral, a hint of grapefruit zest, light creeping pine resin that linger throughout the finish, it is affably sweet, leaning toward thin flavors, clean tasting, gently robust with a touch of char.
F: Lightly brisk whipped-up med-bodied feel w a med-short lightly dry finish.
O: The head on this beer reminds me of an Irish Dry Stout but it does go to a center island cap with a moat and with thick edge foam. Great look, simple and very light aroma, great taste and feel. It is very good in its style.

 

 

Another Warpigs Beer. Nemesis Divina. Dry hopped porter. Pretty good. Not too thick or decadent in flavors, which seems to be the theme in the entire 12 pack #4 . None of the beers were to over top in the flavors but just right. As with the rest easy drinking. Sweet malts, slight char flavors with peat. No coffee just chocolate and rind type hops and 54ibus so that flavors blends well. 6.5%abv. Great after work beer this morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours out of the can a midnight black-brown, no light passes through it. Yields a nice 2 inch head when poured on the rougher side and is sustained for a couple minutes. The scent was not overly pungent, but I picked up some roasty malts and some cocoa. Taste punches the mouth with its dry hops and then mellows out where you get the cocoa. I liked its mouthfeel, but with how dark it is I always seem to want it to be thicker, but that might be a personal preference rather than a fault of the style of beer.
