Shamus O'Sean Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Kaiju Beer - Where Strides the Behemoth - Double India Black Ale Aromas: Cherry, Pine, Forest floor, Roastiness Flavours: Roasty, Cherry (very Black Forest Cake vibe). High but balanced bitterness. Alcohol warming. A bit like a fruity Stout. Very nice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice. a black ale i would consider a winter beer specially with a abv of 10.5% summer in australia and very dark beers dont do it for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loafing_about Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 First time i remember having one of these. Amber in colour and not as dark as the photo suggests. Pretty balanced sweet bitterness with fair bit of toast and maybe nuts. Very malt forward with little hop presence. Got this in a beer subscription and would be happy to turn something like this out at home! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably up there amongst the best beer I've ever tasted, from the oldest brewery in the world. Ok it is commercial beer, but probably the best you could ever buy. I suppose what I'm getting at, its definitely not mega swill. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since i've had some quite nice ones, and had to re map my thoughts, and taste process. I guess when i brew one myself and really take to it, then I've turned. Its always good to have differing opinions in brewing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Man Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I've finished nightshift. Brekky beers and Ashes Cricket. I've said so many times but this beer has to have the most perfect balance of malt and hops I've ever tasted. It's the Pilsner that is Godfather to all Pilsners. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozdevil Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Brewery = Slipstream (QlD beer = lupoforce ipa ABV = 6.5% Hey All, this is not your average ipa as it is not done with your flower hops or pellet hops they have brewed this with luomax hops which is giving this ipa great burst of flavour very smooth fuity flavour that you would expect from lupomax hops and the aroma i could tell they was trying bring out that bubblegum flavour but just didnt quite get there for me not overly bitter for an ipa but that was mask by the fruitiness of this beer it was pretty heavy for 6.5% 1 or 2 of these is enough for me and i love my ipa's 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That range of beers is stunning, love them all. 500ml The bottle are great as they take crown seals, I am building up a nice collection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cee Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Very happily (or is it, "hapilly") ((no, it's, "Happily")) surprised with this one Love the mouthfeel - it reminds me of an ideal mead - I say. "ideal" because, I have not tasted Mead, but my fantasy of mead is it Feels a bit like this - full mouthfeel, smooth, sweet, tasty This beer is like that except it's taste is defiitely Ale-ish. I love the malt profile in this and how it compliments the mouthfeel (maybe it makes the mouthfeel) and as for taste I think this one could be a Chilled-Champion for a sixpack-kinda occasion That said, it doesn't get me very P@*ssed even when I have a few few (like 9) and at 4.2% at 330ml I think this is because it has a natural kinda, "Regulator" in a similar way that Dark Ales kinda slow me down a tad, or other darker, richer beers I really do like the taste of this beer. A lot. And the slab cost me around $2 plus some cents per stubbie so value plus for me. I am having trouble naming the hops - they are quite blended. Dry hopped - so they are subtle I have some others to try later - it is one of those days... Y'know the ones by now This one has an extra Y though, so I treated myself to a few samples EDIT: Due to technical restrictions, (technically, I couldn't restrain myself) this is the best pic I can stage Edited January 6, 2022 by Cee 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cee Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 ok so one of those days that ends in. "Whyyyyyyy" yet therefore why not begin a recovery: Of warm, inebriated, "well why not" kinda acceptance and like my forefathers and foresisters before me, solace comes in a pintglass This is a beer I would not usually try But a certain dark beer was not available and the bloke suggested (I am sure with commission in mind) this one I do not begrudge him his commission he heard my preferences and this beer is ... wow... Wow I might need to revisit after another swig... Strewth... strong... tasty 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
