Athene Noctua
Eredità Beer

 

16 oz can, dated almost 9 months ago - but figured with the style should be okay

pours black in color, thick khaki colored head. good head retention. aroma as it warms is fairly roasty - big dark cocoa. taste is similar but a little sweeter than expected. fuller bodied than expected for a lager.

 

On tap at Three Penny Taproom in Montpelier, VT.

This one pours a very dark black color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like baker’s chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, licorice, and some dark fruit.

This is pretty luxuriously creamy, with a bitter roasty and dry finish. There’s lots of dark chocolate, bitter but rich, with some lightly fruity sweetness. It’s herbal but sweet and really smooth.

This is smooth and very creamy, with no real booziness to it.

This is my first Eredita beer, and it only makes me want to try more of them!

 

Pours an effervescent ebony with one finger of tight mocha colored head. Some head retention & lacing

S: Super roasty, cola notes once warm

T: Roastyness, a little Baker's Chocolate& molasses up front, fairly dry & a little Chicory. More roastyness as this beer warms up, hints of smokeyness, carob & chicory, plus woody hops. Finishes dry, roasty with a little bit of woody hops & Chicory

MF: Medium body, smooth carbonation

Classic Baltic Porter with much drinkability

16 ounce can packaged on 02/28/23.

Moderate pour yields a 5/4 inch tan head over a near black body with sticky lacing.

Nose of roasted dark malt and chocolate malt with slight caramel and molasses.

Taste is dark malty chocolate and slight caramel with a tiny bit of nuttiness.

Feel is fairly full with nearly medium carbonation.

Overall, a real fine collaboration from two Hill Farmstead alumni and would definitely have again and highly recommend.

Cheers!!!

 

 

picked up a 4 pack of these cans on a whim today. Date stamp is canned on 2/28/2023.
Pouring at cellar temp into my snifter.
the beer pours a coffee black color with a creamy beige to tan colored head of 1.5 cm. This foam fades to a sturdy edge layer and one large wispy island. Leaves windowpane lattice as it fades away.
Aroma is pretty mild on this one. I get a little dark chocolate and molasses with hints of dark fruit. No ABV tips and hops are absent.
First sip reveals a medium body with smooth texture and gentle carbonation. Beer drinks very easy.
Flavor is some roasted notes and molasses mixing together. I get some dark fruit, raisin mostly on the finish. Still never any hints of the ABV and hops are absent here too.
This is a pretty easy drinker with good baltic porter quality. Nice to have it made at a brewery 20 minutes from my house. Id buy this one again.
