Equilater or the reverse pairing beer

The brewery Estrella Damm it show us equilater, a beer made by molecular pairing, something that surely sounds little or nothing to you. This technique identifies the molecules that dominate the drink and looks for foods that share those molecules. This achieves a perfect pairing. Has been Francois Chartier -a researcher and creator of molecular harmonies- in charge of helping the company in this elaboration. As curious as it is novel. Do you want to know more about her? Attentive!

This is this Mediterranean elaboration

The fruit of this elaboration is a colored beer dark brown, dense and opaque with a consistent and creamy head. The beer is aged in barrels of Montseny chestnut. All this gives it a mediterranean touch with a taste of dried figs and fennel.

To obtain it, we have worked with four types of malts which gives it a really interesting complexity. Malt pale ale It gives it structure and fruity and sweet aromatic notes. Malt abbey enhances the notes of nuts and honey that contributes to the nuances of chocolate. The caramel provides the cereal notes. Lastly, the malt roasted, together with the roasted barley, it gives it the very characteristic dark color. So is equilater.

A gastronomic beer: Equilater

equilater It has been created to eat with it and it is a very gastronomic beer. One of the family of stouts original from England. In the creation process, the process has been inverted and they have created a beer where the ingredients have been chosen for the pairing. This has been the premise of creation, everything to get a beer versatile with a high potential to accompany a great variety of dishes.

In this way, in the bottle we find the anetole molecule, which comes from fennel and combines with fresh dishes such as ceviche. It also has the solerone molecule, found in dried figs and pairs with caramelized flavors such as caramelized apples with curry.

Instead, in the cyclotone molecule, present in all style beers Stout -and especially to this one from Damm which is an Imperial Stout- toasted flavors predominate and it combines with grilled octopus, for example. Finally, the furfural molecule It originates from the barrel and its toasting makes it perfect for combinations of chicken dishes with truffle.

So now you know, if you want to drink an ideal beer for certain recipes choose this Estrella Damm Equilater, an unbeatable beer with a process of creation totally innovative.
