Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #392 Trillium Plane over Car over Train over Boat

We first reviewed this on February 15th, a day after it was released. We didn’t feel the beer was quite ready so it wasn’t fair to review it as such.

We let it sit a couple of weeks and re-reviewed it on March 1st. This video is a combination of both reviews.

Review 1: Mike: Maroon Shirt. Shaun: Hat

Review 2: Mike: Black Shirt. Shaun: No Hat

Style: Quadruple IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: The Streets (1st Review) 8oz Flutes (2nd Review
Notes: …we dosed this beer with massive additions of Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy at our highest hopping rate to date. Pouring a heavily hazy orange color, the nose instantly is greeted with bold aromas of of creamy mango purée, candied lemon, tropical papaya, and underripe pineapple. (13%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #386 Trillium Permutation 109

Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 750ml
Glassware: Teku’s
Notes: Permutation 109 draws inspiration from two of our favorite inductions in the series so far: Numbers 52 and 57. Like those batches, for this special beer we took an imperial stout aged just over two years in bourbon oak barrels and blended it with a fresh stout brewed in stainless fermenters. Next, we added coconut, almond, vanilla bean, and our Trillium blend cold brew to amplify the palate with bold depth and decadent flavor. (12.4%)

Decadent chocolate covered turtles, pecan pralines, and toffee-nut brownies layer the palate with luxurious and rich flavors underpinned by smooth, rounded coffee presence. With a thick yet soft mouthfeel and velvety carbonation Vanilla and Toasted Pecan Night & Day has a roasty and balanced finish. (12.7%)

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews #362 & 363 Trillium Night and Day (2017 & 2018)

Notes: Night & Day is seductive with aromatics of roasted dark malt, espresso, caramel, cocoa powder, dark fruit, charred toast, and subtle sweet vanilla.
