What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “The rich roasted and toasted quality blends well with mild Brett/Pedio funkiness, medium lactic sourness, and subtle berry esters from the fruit. Chocolate and roasted malts bring a fun complexity.”
Flavor: “The rich roasted quality blends well with the blackberry and Brett funk of straw/hay/musty cellar. The berries play a complementary role and add tartness. Finishes dry.”
Overall: “A dark ale with some funk flavored by dark berries. There’s an interesting interplay of Brett funk and very dark roasted malt. Complex and endlessly interesting. I would enjoy a small tulip of this beer.”
What the Brewers Say
“God's Eye is a wild porter crafted with Pilsner, Blue Ballad, and Chocolate Wheat malts, flaked oats, flaked rye, and Midnight Wheat, then aged on blackberries for undertones of chocolate-covered berries and jammy red wine. God's Eye is fermented and aged in oak barrels for several months with our wild yeast culture and then bottle conditioned.”
