Score: 86/100 – Great
Appearance 3/6
The beer pours a slightly hazy amber with barely any head. Poor foam formation and retention. Ok appearance.
Aroma 21/24
Medium-strong intensity with good balance. The aroma is interesting, perfumy, and straight up offbeat.
Significant brett character pairs well with notable alcohol and fruity esters. Gentle malt character rounds out edges while low hops add layers.
Flavour 38/40
Strong intensity with bitter balance and assertive perceived bitterness.
The flavour is distinctive to say the least. Prominent earthy-fruity brett character is complimented by citrusy-herbal hops and a firm mix of pale and specialty malts. Mild floral tones and a splash of alcohol. Complex and intriguing.
Mouthfeel 7/10
Medium body with very low carbonation. The mouthfeel is a bit slick with mild fizziness and restrained alcohol warming. Medium-dry finish. No astringency or harshness on the palate but it’s a little lifeless.
Overall 17/20
My Lord is something I tried for the first time a few months ago. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it as it’s an eccentric beer. I decided to pick up another bottle before they were gone in order to write about it.
Overall this is a great beer. There’s a lot of flavour presented in a balanced and complex whole which on its own is enough reason to try this. The appearance is lacking just like the mouthfeel. If those were improved, this brew would stand out. If you manage to find a bottle somewhere, grab it. One thing is for sure: drink this warm!
