I review the beers I drink

Nightmare – Windlass of Erasmus

 

So, this instantly became one of my favorite breweries, with awesome death metal style artwork and beers named after historical torture/execution methods. The story to this one is:

6.7% GOSE

Blackberries, Blackcurrants and Black Sea Salt combine for an approachable
sour with Cabernet Sauvignon notes and blood-like color and viscosity. Jammy, earthy, cassis, light brine and back of the palate tartness.
Based more off of Nicolas Poussin’s 17th Century painting as well as the 15th Century Medieval fresco in the Båstad Church, than on the many exaggerated accounts of his torture and miraculous escapes. The Patron Saint of Sailors and Seafarers ultimately succumbed to the torture of having his stomach slit open and his intestines wound around a Windlass.
He tended to the frequenters of the eastern ports of Italy. Sailors and Seafarers whom during storms saw flashes of blue electrical charges hitting their masts and rigging, interpreted this phenomenon as St Erasmus’ Protection, also known as St Elmo’s Fire.

EXECUTIONER of ARTWORK : @DEFAMEART

Pairs well with :
Oceano – “The Great Tribulation”

A hazy blood crimson pour with light head retention, smells of raspberry, blackberry, and red wine. The taste is tart and full of ripe berry flavors while a crisp, clean malt bill with just a touch of salt rides beneath the effervescent medium body. The finish is short with no bitterness, just a touch of red wine tannin and residual tart berry that brings a wave of salivation to wash the palate clean. Overall, it’s a cool take on the style and very flavorful; definitely unique and eye-catching.
