One of the treasures of a beer mail delivery from Toronto’s Blood Brothers Brewing was 355mL cans of Devil’s Trill XVI—Trill Bill Volume 16—great homage on the label, too. It’s an 8.5% imperial IPA brewed with a trio of hops—Amarillo, El Dorado, and Sabro.
The beer is a hazy orange gold with a fluffy white nimbus on the top. It has pungent and sweet aromatics, with tropical fruit playing lead and a vanilla subtext on rhythm. The flavour is a quirky blend of grapefruit and vanilla that is accented with booziness and culminates with a heady dose of bitterness.
The sixteenth iteration of
Blood Brothers’ Devil’s Trill is a subtle bruiser with an interesting
flavour profile. It’s a touch too sweet, perhaps, but it is definitely
intriguing.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
