Brauhaus Fritz Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 It's a nice beer, but for my liking a bit too bitter. But the brewery might be worth a trip to Katoomba. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does a bit, doesn’t it? They’re quite nice brews mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) This was a beast with its 11.3% ABV. It tasted nice though. Edited July 8, 2022 by Aussiekraut 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason up to 10° I can "manage", but over 10° - in a beer at least, not wine, anything goes - seems to take the wind out of my sails. I found the Rochefort particularly heavy, other ones that are up there with the strength (St Bernardus 12 for instance) go down a bit easier. Maybe I should try harder... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) Some people rave about it, and I love Black Forest cake (both me and my wife make the most delicious one) but this is just wrong. Yes, it has nice hints of chocolate when you breath in through your mouth after having a sip, but then its just dark and sour. Rather suck on a lemon, at least I get some vitamin C. Would I by it again? Absolutely not. Get me a Berliner Weisse with woodruff cordial any day. Edited July 8, 2022 by Brauhaus Fritz 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts are it's all good but cramming 10-12% into a small 330ml bottle is just a bit heavy, may be a longneck or a large glass would be more pleasant but then I am no expert on the high end ABV beers. I think the strongest I have tackled so far was around 8%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The ol' Coops Green Faithful... a little dark you say... yes will - waste not - I blended it 50:50 with the flat final SG Sample of the recently completed lovely Amber Sparkling (*amber flat until carbonated no sparkles just yet) and it made quite a lovely drop 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 After the cake I had to have some coffee, and as weird as it sounds this is a very nice beer. Might have it for my morning coffee tomorrow, ha ha 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each to their own, of course, but IMHO if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Bit of a stuck-in-the-mud sort of a bloke, maybe... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it turns out nicely and sometimes absolutely wrong. Just got a little bored with my homebrew and wanted to check out what's out there, dangerous move, especially for my wallet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it turns out nicely and sometimes absolutely wrong. Just got a little bored with my homebrew and wanted to check out what's out there, dangerous move, especially for my wallet I agree with trying something new but as you say they can become a tad expensive due to the higher alcohol content but I do not bother buying beers with the emphasis on fruit, chocolate or other weird stuff some breweries add to their brews. I love Hops & everything they stand for as you get a multitude of different aromas & flavours but as far as extra stuff added because you can, that doesn't interest me. I recently bought a pack of Margarita Gose ( Pale Ale ) & I enjoyed it immensely as a refreshing drink but it didn't taste anything like beer to me. But, each to their own. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instigator Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 How good are these 440ml cans of BES? I'm stoked that Coopers brought them back this year. I really hope they become an annual thing like the ESVA. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
