CHEESE NOTES

High-res Another Rolf Beeler-affinaged cheese: Aarauer Bierdeckel, also known as Beermat, a washed-rind raw cow’s milk cheese from Canton Aargau in Switzerland. Washed in unfermented wheat beer, it brings the elements of a traditional French washed rind together with the flavors and character of a trappist beer-washed cheese.  The amber-pink B.Linens rind, spotted with dark reddish-brown patches, is thin and lightly sticky covering a yellow paste, lightly eyed, firm at first and sagging softly as the cheese warms. A musty, yeasty aroma gives way to a pleasantly yeasty-sour, nutty, rich flavor with toasted undertones and a lingering finish.  Wonderful paired with beer (naturally).
