If you’re an ardent fan of non-adjunct stouts, be ready for a treat! Incendiary Brewing Company has carved out a niche for itself with The Interception of Entropy (2021). The brewers describe their creation as a blend of non-adjunct stouts aged two years in Weller and Beale Mead barrels, boasting a heavy barrel character and dark fruits. Not only does that sound enticing, but the final product lives up to its description – scoring an impressive 96/100.
Aroma: A Solid 12
The aroma of The Interception of Entropy (2021) is, in a word, sublime. The stout hits you first with the powerful yet elegant aroma of dark chocolate, immediately followed by a fresh-pressed wine must. It’s a heady mix that promises, and delivers, a complex and engaging savoring experience.
Appearance: An Understated 3
One might argue that appearance is a somewhat superficial aspect of a beer, but it does play a crucial role in setting the stage for the entire tasting experience. This stout doesn’t scream for attention, earning a modest 3. It’s the visual equivalent of a comfortable, well-worn leather chair – it doesn’t need to scream for attention, but commands respect with its subtlety.
Flavor: Bold and Robust 18
When it comes to flavor, this creation doesn’t disappoint, securing a robust 18. The sip doubles down on the aroma’s promises and delivers lovely notes of Belgian chocolate, vintage port, dried cherries, cinnamon, and cola. Every element adds a layer of depth to the flavor, making it a treat for your taste buds.
Mouthfeel: A Balanced 5
Lastly, let’s talk about mouthfeel – an essential often under-discussed aspect of the beer-drinking experience. The Interception of Entropy (2021) balances the extremes nicely with a score of 5. It offers, as our editors thought, a ‘boozy nose with assertive but welcoming chocolate-bourbon aroma’. The sip eschews roasty bass notes for smooth caramel mids, punched up with sweetness but tempered by woody tannin. By no means a one-note wonder, the beer balances a jovial, liqueur truffle friendliness that suits a vast range of palates.
