Description
Launched in 2012 by by Thomas Vogel, Dave Mobley, and brewmaster Troy Smith, Belching Beaver Brewery evolved from a desire to make great beer and have a ‘Dam Good Time’ doing it. The award-winning craft beer company is focused on two things: First, have a brand that offers quality craft beer, while also being whimsical and fun to inspire good times. Each Belching Beaver beer release carries its own individual style and personality. Second, make beer for everyone and all palates. Our San Diego Brewery hosts 5 different locations serving craft beer you're going to love, of which the Oceanside Brewhouse is the production brewery.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours clear brassy gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is mildly tropical with some citrus. Med body. Lightly bready flavor, but the slightly prickly/spicy tropical hops and citrus handle that nicely. Fairly dry. Decently bitter. Not a Urquell, but so few things are.

1 pint can. Pours a dull amber with moderate head. Aromas of melon, candied citrus, soft pine and bready malts. Flavors follow same with a bit more pine. May be a bit old. OK. I’ll take this over a run of the mill hazy any day though.

473ml can. Pours an opaque dark brown, almost black with a small, foamy, short lived, tan head that laces. Sweet aroma of chocolate malt, vanilla and strawberry. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, milk chocolate, brown sugar, strawberry and a hint of coffee in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a sticky, oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and easy to drink.

Fles gedeeld door Roelzie. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een dun bruinig schuim. Het heeft een zoete chocolade achtige geur. de smaak is zoet, fruitig en wat pinda achtig.

Can from Smokes n Suds. Dark brown pour with a large tan head. Aroma is chocolate, a little vanilla and something sweet akin to malted milk. Tastes pretty well like chocolate ice cream until it warms up to near room temp. Once it hits room temp the flavor is spot on melted Neapolitan ice cream. Never really got the strawberries until it warmed completely. Fun brew, need to pull these out the fridge and keep in the basement till ready.

Rich deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall off-white head that fades slowly and leaves an oily slick on top. Aroma of earthy malts, caramelised sugars, molasses, toffee and some strong anise and licorice. Full-bodied; Rich molasses, figs, date and pitted fruits noticeable with a dry bite near the end with some spices noticeable along with a bunch of sugars including some icing sugar on top of all the deep dark fruits. Aftertaste shows a nice balance of sugars, malt, rich grain and a bunch of robust and fairly easy-going but very noticeable spices that hit nicely and bring out a great complexity, especially at the end! Overall, a very nice, pungent and very strong stout with a bunch of sweetness, but somehow gets down pretty easily and makes the sample go by fairly quickly! Great to sample even though i'm not in San Diego, at least i'm here in the state of California! I sampled this ten ounce pour on draught at Slanted Tree Kitchen & Taproom in Fairfield, California on 08-March-2022 for US$8,00 sampled while eating dinner.

From Beer Drop. Canned December 16th 2021.
Pours a pitch black with a large head of tan foam.
Smells of peanuts, chocolate and some roasted malt. Nice.
The taste is lovely flavours of peanuts and delicious chocolate. Some roasted malt adds to the enjoyment of this excellent brew.
Creamy smooth mouthfeel. BB does it again.
