ben 10 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Shipwreck imperial porter and a Brut pale. Both very nice. The porter is tops actually. The Brut is a little less dry that I'd like but well balanced. Jaffa Stout, sensational. Mellow, good orange hit. Really nice beer. Also had a Slovenian Pilsner. Good malty drop. Nice beers, good venue. Food was good too 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Lao Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Last night had Stockade 8 Bit in cans. Fairly light in colour, big fruity hop flavour. Think I have found my new favorite Aussie IPA! Bloody lovely! Cheers James 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how the Smiling Samoyed is, they make some good stuff. The Samoyed was my favorite of them all but a bit strong for me (Not a huge IIPA fan, nothing against the brewery). Was disappointed in the rest over-all but im not a fan of big shed or prancing pony usually 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyBrew2 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Remember when beer was beer Custard stout = craft getting out of control saw it and had to get it. $9 a can and it’s sweet and sickly. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyBrew2 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Another one for shits and giggles. First time I’ve tastes this style. Nice and tart. It lingers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many small breweries doing stupid or weird stuff just to stand out IMO. The funkier and more out there the beer, the crappier it's been. Prices are usually equally insane. It's why I started brewing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 That's because the usual wanker who drinks craft beer needs something different every week or they get bored. They aren't content to simply enjoy well made examples of well known or classic styles time and again, but perhaps they need to learn that different isn't always better, or even good.

The Captain!! Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 @PaddyBrew2 Custard tart stout was cr@p Berliner was good I thought. Don’t know that it needs to be Imperial though. Rocky Ridge really is pushing the boundaries. Some of it, like the tart, is just too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Akasha Brewing Company - Hopsmith IPA Great aroma. Says it is triple dry hopped. Citrus, pine and fruity aroma. Pretty good clarity. Less complex taste, but good hit of bitterness. One of those beers where the flavour hangs around in the mouth long after the liquid disappears. Happy to recommend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Stone Brewing (USA) - Espresso Totalitarian Russian Imperial Stout Classic RIS aroma, probably coffee in there somewhere. On tasting, yep, there it is. Full on malt flavour and strong bitterness to balance the malt. The alcohol level is warming and a feature. This is a sipper. My reflux is not going to like this one. The things we do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschemad911 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) I was pretty skeptical of this beer at first glance, but it was actually really, really good. The guys at Green Beacon know their stuff... A shame they sold to one of the big guys (probably the best of a bad lot though). And no I don't count Coopers as one of the big guys. The blood orange and cherry flavour was noticeable but well-balanced, the whisky barrel notes were gorgeous and there was a lovely underlying feathery malt character. It came together very nicely.

That Fathom coffee stout was the last of the barrel aged beers I've been having this week. It was really nice, a great lawnmower beer while cooking dinner after a few hours gardening. Hope you like the Cluster 8 too. Cheers, John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
