Founders Nemesis 2010: Review


Anti-Establishment Ale
12% abv
12 oz bottle
Founders Brewing
Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
My Strength Rating: 9

Appearance: Black body with a nice tan head and sticky lacing.

Aroma: heavy caramel, citrus, touch of pine, rich malts, dried fig.

Flavors: Solid malts, roasted grains, dried dark fruits like fig and raisin, then the citrus peel bites the tongue.  I thought I would get an alcohol or boozy taste but, I don’t detect any.  As I continue sipping this strong ale there is a dark 90% chocolate dryness and an espresso like quality. 

Mouthfeel: creamy like, thick, heavy, pine like aftertaste that explodes on the palate.

I’ll bet this is an ale that you either really like or hate.  I really like.
