Beer & Cigar Fest

La primera bocanada de humo de mi habano Romeo y Julieta N°3 fue de lo más sublime. Esperaba un sabor invasivo y rasposo en la garganta. Al contrario, me encontré con un equilibrio y aroma que armonizaba tan bien con la primera cerveza que degustamos: Young ́s Double Chocolate Stout

La inglesa se hizo notar desde el momento que la abrieron –no destaparon porque no es embotellada, si no que viene en una lata con un widget de nitrógeno que realza su cremosidad-. Intensa, con un fuerte aroma a malta tostada y café se entremezcla con el exquisito sabor a chocolate amargo... doble chocolate amargo. Perfecta para las primeras suaves notas del habano. Mientras todos los que estábamos reunidos alrededor de la mesa disfrutando este momento, escuchamos salir de la hielera a la segunda invitada: Promaucaes Lava, una chilena muy pícara que esconde entre sus notas al tradicional Merkén chileno, un ají molido y ahumado que resalta los sabores de esta cerveza especial.

Al finalizar estas dos seguimos las órdenes del “capitán del barco” de ese día: Phillip Illi, Campeón Mundial Habano Sommelier, para introducirnos de lleno a las segundas notas del habano que, en ese minuto, ya tenía el humo llegando a las parras del patio de la Cervecería Loom (lugar donde se realizó el Beer & Cigar Fest) y maridarlas con las siguientes cervezas.

Mientras cada uno de los participantes disfrutaba su habano de elección (Romeo y Julieta N° 3, H. Upmann Coronas Major, Hoyo de Monterrey Coronations) llegó una belga: Rochefort 10. Todos quedaron fascinados. Fue la primera vez que la probaba y la experiencia fue única y, de seguro, muy repetible. El color oscuro y fuerte no lo esperaba de una botella que no sobresale en su exterior. ¡Nunca juzgues a un libro por su portada!

Para cerrar con broche de oro este festival de habanos y cervezas organizado por la Boutique de Cerverzas llegó la danesa Mikkeller Monks Brew. Desde la primera nota en la boca pensé: una cerveza única en el mundo. Nunca antes había probado una cerveza añejada en barrica de Bourbon. Que experiencia más inolvidable. Tanto así que muchos de los asistentes se quisieron llevar la botella para tenerla de recuerdo. Claro, no quedaba una gota dentro de ella, porque todos habíamos dado fin a su impactante brebaje.

En definitiva, una experiencia digna de ser replicada, tanto para personas amantes de los habanos, como para los que quisimos aprender algo más y, sobre todo, saborear la exquisita carta de cervezas que tenían preparada.

El nombre de Romeo y Julieta, creada como marca de Habanos en 1875, tiene su raíz en la tragedia literaria del mismo nombre del escritor inglés William Shakespeare. La marca alcanzó renombre internacional en los primeros años del siglo XIX, después de que Don "Pepín" Fernández, fuera de los primeros en reconocer la importancia de las anillas como factor del éxito. Se calcula que en la producción se utilizaron hasta 20,000 anillas distintas. Winston Churchill fue uno de los más devotos fumadores de la marca Romeo y Julieta. Desde su visita a la Habana en 1946, su nombre no solo fue utilizado en anillas de Habanos, sino que dio nombre al más conocido de las vitolas de la marca, que tiene un cepo de 47 y una longitud de 178mm: el Churchill de Romeo y Julieta. Su equilibrada y oromática ligada, con hojas seleccionadas procedentes de la región de Vuelta Abajo, hace de Romeo y Julieta el Habano clásico de sabor medio.
