Year of New Beer: Epicurean Series 2020: Stone Fruit Compote à la Mode, Urban Artifact (Cincinnati)

Written By: Dion on 05/01/2020

Black cherry on the nose that presents as a tart fruit pie filling, with an undercurrent of vanilla that gives a balancing sweetness. On the taste buds is a really nice blend of tart and sweet. The cherry component still offers up an initial tartness, but gets jammy with warmth. Meanwhile, the nectarines work in conjunction with the vanilla bean, giving off a peach cobbler and ice cream vibe. Fruity and delicious with not even a hint of the 8% alcohol it contains. Nice work by Urban Artifact on this one.
