April's Apocalyptic Beer: Choco Chile time

The Beer of the Apocalypse from Elysian is the Peste: Chocolate & Chili ale.

Definitely my favorite so far.  Flavors are bold, upfront with a slowly building and definitely spicy finish that lingers.  Very weak head, likely due to the chili pepper; this is too bad, but it's the nature of the ale.  Lots of chocolate flavor, not roasty like a stout though, nor as thick...  I dunno, not much to say really.  If you like spicy and you like chocolate with spicy then you cannot afford to miss this one.

We had some delicious nachos with the beer at Brews on Washington in downtown Spokane.  So very impressed.

The 3rd of the 12 beers of the Apocalypse

Normally, Nathan and I are better about getting on the 12 Beers of the Apocalypse but we were a bit late this month. Better late than never, right?

Nathan also wanted to talk about the Brother Thelonius Belgian Abbey Ale


First off, the beer of the apocalypse for March was the Fallout Green Cardamom Pale Ale. Nathan ordered this one and I snuck tastes off his glass (I was having the Boundary Bay Scotch Ale of course!) Straight off, the smell of the cardamom hit me. Nathan got the spice gist, but not specifically the cardamom.


Okay, onto the Brother Thelonius.

This beer was amazing, I think I officially love Belgians.  Pours nicely with a pretty large head, lots of aroma.  Carmel and rich sweet flavor backed by some subtle fruit flavors.  I will definitely have this again, because I love it.
