Flying Mouflan

My wife got this for me a couple of months ago from Viniferous, which while primarily a wine shop, has a pretty impressive collection of craft beer bombers.

Dubbed the Flying Mouflan (for reasons that become clearer toward the bottom of the glass) this strong alluring ale is two beers in one. Cracking open a fresh bottle unleashes hops and heat with more than 100 IBUs emanating from three hop varieties and sweet burn of 9.3% ABV. Cellaring the Flying Mouflan in a cool dark place at 50 degrees for a minimum of four months will mellow out the hops and wash away the heat. If you can resist temptation you will be rewarded with two memorable beers in a single bottle.

It’s the color of coffee, with a cream-colored head, very thick. Aroma is full of caramel and dried fruit. That is one big beer! Malty and hoppy, with more of that caramel, with coffee and toffee flavors. Rich. That is a sipping beer. I’ll be getting this again to cellar for a bit longer.
