Summit Unchained Batch 14 Biere De Garde

The Summit Brewing Company is in St. Paul, Minnesota and has been making craft beer since 1986.  This is part of their Unchained Series of limited release special batch beers. Number 13 in the series is a 7.3% ABV biere de garde style beer by brewer Jeff Williamson. It uses Pilsen, Special Aromatic, Biscuit, Vienna, Carared, and De-bittered Black malts, and French Strisselspalt hops. They recommend serving in a tulip glass. 

The beer pours mahogany in color, with blood red ruby when held to the light. There is a short head of light brown foam, quickly dissipating. The aroma is dark roasted malt, light coffee, toasted, dark caramel. The taste follows the aromas directly. It is finely carbonated, tingling and refreshing, medium-bodied, with a relatively dry finish. This is just all around so solid. This latest Unchained, and their latest Union Series Rebellion Stout are some of the most solid Summit offerings yet!
