BeYOB

Tap to rate

A strong spring lager named in homage to an Oregon doom-metal band, mashed with four decoctions and conditioned for weeks at below-freezing temperatures. It pours a deep amber. The repeated boiling of the mash shows in dense bread crust, caramel and toffee, with a light chocolate note from the darker malts. The body is full and malty, and the alcohol stays warming without heat, carrying a sweet but balanced finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose reveals the complexity of the four-decoction mash technique: prominent notes of bread crust and caramel dominate, with underlying toffee sweetness and a subtle chocolate character from the darker malts. The alcohol presence is warm and integrated rather than sharp, supporting rather than overshadowing the malt-driven character. No aggressive hop aromatics intrude on this malt-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with full, malty sweetness that reflects the decoction process, revealing layers of caramel and toffee with a light chocolate undertone. The body is substantial and slightly viscous, characteristic of the style, while the moderate bitterness (22 IBU) remains restrained and supportive rather than assertive. The alcohol integrates smoothly, providing warmth without harshness or heat on the mid-palate.
