Breakside The Oligarch: Candy Cap

Breakside Brewery
Portland, OR, United States of America


Vital Statistics

Type: Stout

From the brewer

This variant is made with one of the Pacific Northwest’s most beguiling foodstuffs: candy cap mushrooms. Their intense brown sugar smell helps create a sweet-then-savory sensation that dovetails perfectly into some of the strong oxidative notes of the casks.

Who's been drinking this

2019 release
Smells very strongly of umami mushroom, like porcini. It tastes more balanced but there's definitely a broth-like quality somewhere in the background. Touch of burnt caramel. Works, but it does start to feel weird over time.
