Off Kilter

Off Kilter is an American cheese hailing from Port Townsend, Washington, where it's produced by Mt. Townsend Creamery. This tomme-style cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk. Underneath its rind that's been washed in Kilt Lifter Scotch Ale, the texture is supple, semi-soft, and open, dotted with small eyes throughout the paste.

The aromas are milky, barnyardy, and earthy, while the flavors are pungent, meaty, nutty, earthy, and sweet, with a slight tang on the finish. For the best experience, pair it with the beer it's washed in. THIS CHEESE IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION BECAUSE THE CREAMERY IS SHUT DOWN.
