This was Block 15's take on the KLCC collaboration brew, which for 2010 was a Belgian Rye Cascadian Dark Ale!
On draught at Bailey's, Eleven Minds is a super dark cola brown with a creamy, tight tan head that leaves thick, foamy lace.
Smell is sweet maltiness, again reminiscent of cola, with lots of herbal hop aroma and a hint of skunk.
Taste is very spicy, bittersweet, definitely a Belgian vibe, but hoppy as well, with a firm bitterness that lingers on the finish. Some chocolate malt notes round it out, with not a ton of hop flavor, more continental for sure, Assyrian Goldings maybe?
Mouthfeel is creamy and soft, almost cask like, but with a dry, prickly finish. Medium-heavy body.
Drinkability is okay, but it just didn't really quite come together, one of the more schizophrenic of this year collaboration efforts, with to much emphasis on the rye for my tastes.
