Greetings, dear Hivians! How's everyone doing?
Today I'm talking about a special beer of a Brazilian craft brewery located in the most German city in Brazil – a small town called Pomerode, located in the state of Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil – called "Schornstein". Its name means "chimney" in German, because of the building's architecture – the factory is based in a historic heritage of the city, whose building has a famous 30 meters tall chimney, which has become the symbol of the brewery.
As one can see, Schornstein's slogan is "a cerveja com alma", which means "a beer with soul".
¡Saludos, queridos hivians! ¿Cómo están todos?
Hoy hablaré de una cerveza especial de una cervecería artesanal brasileña ubicada en la ciudad más alemana de Brasil – una pequeña ciudad llamada Pomerode, ubicada en el estado de Santa Catarina, sur de Brasil – llamada "Schornstein". Su nombre significa "chimenea" en alemán, debido a la arquitectura del edificio – la fábrica está asentada en un patrimonio histórico de la ciudad, cuyo edificio tiene una famosa chimenea de 30 metros de altura, que se ha convertido en el símbolo de la cervecería.
Como se puede ver, el eslogan de Schornstein es "a cerveja com alma", que significa "la cerveza con alma".
Schornstein Chocolate com Pimenta is actually a collaboration between the brewery itself and the chocolate brand, also from Pomerode, called Nugali. This beer was created for a local gastronomic festival that, due to its success, later became part of the brand's official catalog. Just like it says on the label, this beer won two medals – a bronze in 2019 and a silver in 2020 – in two different national beer contests.
Since it's a special beer, it wasn't so easy to find – actually I've been looking for it for a while and finally I could find it for about $20 BRL ($4 USD approximately).
Schornstein Chocolate com Pimenta es en realidad una colaboración entre la propia cervecería y la marca de chocolate, también de Pomerode, llamada Nugali. Esta cerveza fue creada para un festival gastronómico local que, debido a su éxito, posteriormente pasó a formar parte del catálogo oficial de la marca. Tal como dice en la etiqueta, esta cerveza ganó dos medallas – una de bronce en 2019 y una de plata en 2020 – en dos diferentes concursos nacionales de cerveza.
Como es una cerveza especial, no fue tan fácil de encontrar – de hecho la estuve buscando por un tiempo y finalmente la pude encontrar por más o menos $20 BRL ($4 USD aproximadamente).
Schornstein Chocolate com Pimenta follows the same recipe as their traditional bock beer, with the addition of cacao nibs and habanero pepper extract. It has a percentage of 7% ABV and 25 IBU. When poured into the glass, it displays a ruby-brown liquid with a light-beige irregular foam of medium to low persistence, with a soft carbonation. The sweet malt aroma is very present, as well as the caramel, chocolate and cacao fragrances. The same goes for the taste, however, the cacao taste is less intense than its smell.
Schornstein Chocolate com Pimenta sigue la misma receta que su tradicional cerveza bock, con la adición de nibs de cacao y extracto de pimienta habanero. Tiene un porcentaje de 7% ABV y 25 IBU. Cuando se sirve en la copa, muestra un líquido de color marrón rubí con una espuma irregular de color beige claro de media a baja persistencia, con una carbonatación suave. El aroma dulce de la malta está muy presente, así como las fragancias de caramelo, chocolate y cacao. Lo mismo ocurre con el sabor, sin embargo, el sabor del cacao es menos intenso que su olor.
And then, after the third sip approximately, I could taste the pepper gradually showing up, leaving a clear spiciness that became more and more accentuated with each gulp – until it became considerably strong. Although I'm not a fan of spicy flavors, I really enjoyed drinking this beer and, believe me, the spiciness was the highlight of all the gustative experience – even with the pepper attenuating the cacao hints as you drink it.
I'd say its drinkability is low due to the spiciness, specially because the spicy aftertaste isn't for the weak of stomach, haha – but it doesn't last too long as I was expecting. In the end, the overall experience was really good. Schornstein Chocolate com Pimenta is ideal for colder days, in my opinion – although there's no bad time when it comes to drinking a beer though.
Y luego, después del tercer trago aproximadamente, pude saborear la pimienta apareciendo gradualmente, dejando un claro picante que se acentuaba más y más con cada sorbo – hasta que se volvió considerablemente fuerte. Aunque no soy una fan de los sabores picantes, disfruté mucho tomando esta cerveza y, créanme, el sabor picante fue lo más destacado de toda la experiencia gustativa – incluso con la pimienta atenuando los toques de cacao mientras la bebes.
Diría que su potabilidad es baja debido al picante, especialmente porque el regusto picante no es para los débiles de estómago, jaja, pero no dura tanto como esperaba. Al final, la experiencia en general fue muy buena. Schornstein Chocolate com Pimenta es ideal para los días más fríos, en mi opinión – aunque no hay mal momento cuando se trata de tomar una cerveza.
And you, what do you think about spicy beers? Have you already tasted one? Or have you already tasted any Schornstein beer? Let me know in the comments.
