Strange Fellows Brewing – Nocturnum Galactica Review
The third beer in the Strange Fellows Brewing Fellowship series is the Nocturnum Galactica, their Nocturnum black IPA aged in oak barrels with Brettanomyces and dry hopped with Galaxy hops. The beer pours a clear brown colour with three fingers of tan head that slowly dissipates, leaving behind plenty of lacing in the glass. Aromas of dark fruits and rich malts permeate the beer, accompanied by a pronounced funk and an aroma of tropical fruit that starts out subtle and increases in intensity as the beer comes up to temperature. In the mouth flavours of rich and bready malts are most prominent and joined by a significant funk, some plum and dried fruit flavours, leather, and tropical fruit. Nocturnum Galactica is surprisingly light in the mouth and the flavours open up as the beer warms and finishes dry.
Alcohol – 6.5%
