Jester King Mad Meg Farmhouse Provision Ale

I ordered a bottle of Jester King Mad Meg Farmhouse Provision Ale from the Michael Jackson Rare Beer of the Month Club. The beer pours a dark gold color with an extremely lofty and frothy white head that leaves plenty of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of grass, hay, funk, lemon, caramel, and pepper. The taste is light, refreshing, and citrusy with caramel, lemon, orange, hay, and barnyard funk. Pepper and grass come out on the finish and it leaves behind a sweet yeasty flavor. The alcohol content 9.6% ABV. I enjoyed the citrus and wild flavors contained in this beer. Everything was pretty well balanced and it came together to form a dry and sweet beer.

Jester King Farmhouse Wytchmaker Rye India Pale Ale

I elected to receive a bottle of Jester King Farmhouse Wytchmaker Rye India Pale Ale from the Michael Jackson Rare Beer of the Month Club. The beer pours a dark golden color with a lofty and frothy off-white colored head that leaves some lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of rye, orange, lemon, bread, and caramel. The taste is light and citrusy with orange, lemon, hay, funk, and earthiness. The finish brings out some rye and pepper that dry out the mouth. The alcohol content is 7.3% ABV. I loved the refreshing nature of this beer with its large citrus profile, rye accents, and the light funk added makes this a winner in my book.

Jester King Farmhouse Black Metal Imperial Stout

I ordered a bottle of Jester King Farmhouse Black Metal Imperial Stout from Michael Jackson’s Rare Beer of the Month Club. Note the photo is of the non-Farmhouse version. The beer pours a black color with a frothy tan head that leaves a nice lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of chocolate, toasted malts, barnyard funk, vanilla, and lemon. The taste is full of toasted malt flavor and plenty of dark chocolates. There is a light funk about the beer before some caramel and hay come out on the tongue. The alcohol content is 9.0% ABV. This was a delicious beer and it had a great flavor, but I definitely liked the original version of this beer compared to the Farmhouse version. The light funk was great, but it definitely killed the milky chocolate goodness of the original.
