Jester King Brewery Necrølith Review
Without question, there’s something incredibly unique about the Jester King Brewery Necrølith. This beer, which boasts an impressive score of 97 out of 100, certainly left a strong impression on both our panel and our editors. With its complex aroma (12) and appealing appearance (3), the brewers have certainly done a fine job in crafting this imperial stout.
The Brewer’s Description
As the brewers themselves put it, this is an “imperial stout brewed with Hill Country sourdough bread from Jester King Kitchen.” This may sound odd to those accustomed to traditional beer-making methods, but it hints at the experimental and forward-thinking approach of Jester King. After all, who would have thought that combining beer and bread could produce such an intoxicating brew?
Our Panel’s Verdict
The panel found the aroma of Necrølith to be “complex and inviting.” This was due in part to the blend of scents like vanilla, coconut, musty chocolate, light cold-brew coffee, and burnt sugar. The flavor (19) was centered around deep mousse and rich baked bread, and while the alcohol was certainly present, it wasn’t overpowering. Furthermore, the mouthfeel (4) was described as smooth and medium-bodied, which neatly complemented the overall flavor.
What sets the Necrølith apart from other beers is its balanced taste. It’s medium-sweet without being sticky or thick, and the aftertaste is characterized by lingering dark fruit that stays for a long time, making every sip a pleasant experience.
Editor’s Notes
Our editors echoed the sentiment of the panel, describing the black-malt nose as leading onto “the pleasant side of inky, with grape juice and grape candy undertones.” They further commend the sip being well-rounded and smooth with a light nutty caramel note which soften any harshness from the darker malts.
In conclusion, the Jester King Brewery Necrølith proved to be a truly well-done and unique approach to brewing beer. It’s a dance between roast and malt sugar, offering plenty of complex nuances that are sure to surprise and delight even the most seasoned beer aficionado.
