I really hope they become an annual thing like the ESVA. Look's like a good start for the night mate, a nice warm fire & one of the best Stouts around. I have a firepit but it's too cold to go outside 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys, I am in Sydney, the closest Thirsty Camel is 60 km away. At Dan's you get the Pale Ale Draught Style, which I've tried before, every one else seems to be out of stock. Just have to wait and keep my eyes open 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 An alternative to Duvel in the Belgian Golden Strong category. Appealing name (maybe not for a “date night” with SWMBO). Although the colour is the same, it has a lot more body, which seems out of place (obvs got too used to Duvel). Probably more malt and less sugar to bring up the % I picked up 4 so 3 more to go, wouldn’t bother with more. Decent enough brew, but no more 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I am not the biggest Cappucino fan, so maybe therefor this one didn't really do it for me. The head is nice and creamy, the flavors nice and balanced, but then for a stout it feels really thin. Maybe the fridge cold temperature didn't help, but then at work I still enjoy my coffee (flat white) when it got cold, because it was good. Would I by it again? I can do without it 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do without it Yes, I find that a lot of these modern craft stouts have far too much lactose. One of the signatures of a stout is the roasty bitterness, yet they try to mask it with sweetness. If they are trying to entice newcomers to the dark side, they could try making a few a more porters to style as a gateway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popo the Reprobate Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Tried another Your Mates Larry Pale Ale. It'd do, but I wouldn't chase one down. Thought I'd join the fencepost posse. 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I'd join the fencepost posse. Nice rural shot mate, employing the rule of thirds into your shot, Is that the commercial version you get at Liquor Land ? I have tried both of the beers, their not actually bad - for the price. Edited July 10, 2022 by Classic Brewing Co 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Man Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Interesting beer. I'm not sure why it's labelled a Black Ale. May as well just call it stout. Quite nice. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite nice. I reckon you are right at 6% it's getting into Stout territory, I have had a lot of their beers & been to their brewery a few times, great people, great beers, great food & overall a great place. It is a pity it is so far from where I live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) Went to Ballistic Dpringfield yesterday for a few pints and a few roadies. Sleep when you’re Dead Truppe IPA. This is quite a beast with 100IBU and 10% ABV. Edited July 11, 2022 by Aussiekraut 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not wrong, I am having a Dark Ale ATM - I have got some Stout but I am trying to age that; what a joke when the Dark Ale runs out I will probably drink it !! But in the interests of of keeping warm & of course hydrated, I have rather a cunning plan - when I have finished the Dark Ale, a bottle of red with my steak. Cheers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
