Mortis Imperium
Brujos Brewing

 

About as good as IPAs get I would say actually.

Beautifully dense pale yellow pour, plenty of head and lacking.

Smell is rich with being burning. Plenty of citrus and deep sweetness, tropical as well.

Taste is the same. Incredibly juicy, no hint of burn like the previous Brujos I had.

Feel is wonderfully rich and smooth.

L - a big ol' dang haze bomb nothing particularly distinctive about it, but keeps its foam, white layers, and a bit of bubby lacing on the sides as it goes down a good glass.
S - more intriguing aspects here; citrus, melon, and some tropical guava evident. Peach mixed in towards the end. Some marijuana pine as it warms, too. Nice.
T - an explosion of 10.5% ABV joy across the palate, almost TOO full tasting but it doesn't come across as alcohol burn. Maybe some hop burn, but I'll take it - I was here for the ABV/IBU wars, and I stayed - solid. This beer could impregnate a tongue.
F - a bit fizzy/CO2 tingly on the back end, so it doesn't just "end" on a cliff, and it doesn't stay sweet cloying. Quite nice, but assertive.
O - a really delicious Triple IPA for those dark-hearted enough to enjoy it. An aggressive hazy, for sure, but here for it - Brujos is Fidens West! There, I said it.
