About
Jason Harris and Craig Basford decided they were going to do more than just brew the beers they’d been concocting in their man shed for years: they wanted to bring others along with them. So, more than a decade after they’d started making beer together in a rented farmer’s shed in the Barossa, when Big Shed Brewing Concern became a reality it came with an invitation to their peers: if you’re looking for somewhere to brew, we’ve got the space for you.

500ml on tap at Burgernomix (?), Glenelg. Pale yellow beer with thin sticky head. Clean malt nose with a little fruit. Taste is sweet with a sherbet zing. Finish is sweet malt with a touch of balancing bitterness. Easy-drinking, true to style. Nothing challenging but tasty and fun. Name is a terrible pun though.

This is a good looking beer, with a slightly cloudy hue and a somewhat orange head that foams up enthusiastically with a bit of swirling. The apricot is a nice change, and there’s lots of grapefruit, orange peel, passionfruit, plus a clear warning that you’re going to get a fair bit of alcohol. That’s probably the overwhelming flavour upon tasting, together with orange peel, butterscotch, honey and grapefruit. It’s a bold beer, and a different take on the West Coast IPA. It’s not quite all it hopes to be, but props for stepping out of the comfort zone.

At a tasting, smallish, opaque very dark brown color, aroma of nutela, coffee and coconut in the back, flavor of chocolate, cocoa, nutla, krembo and charcoal, light but noticable bitterness, light sweetness, light to medium bodied. Yummy beer.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks funkwit for this bottle! Black with some tan foam. Great aroma of lots of chocolate, Nutella, marshmallow, toffee. Flavor is kinda sweet, with chocolate, nuts, milky note, roast, and a bitterish finish. Medium-bodied. Very nice.

Bottle. Amber, not quite clear. Off white head fades to a fat coat. Aroma of bread crusts, peach, pine, some floral, citrus notes. Heavier bodied than expected, moderate carbonation. Sweet caramelised bread crust, then lots of woody and herbal flavours and quite strong bitterness. A bit crude and old-fashioned but tasty and offers plenty for its strength.

Bottle. Striking label - very good indeed. Very dark brown with a coat of light tan head. 3 Fudgy aroma with mocha, pine, light spice, candied plums, Scotch. A bit stout meets barley wine. 7. Full bodied but not sticky, moderate to low carbonation. Caramel, plums and some higher fruity notes that you want to say are like totally yam and/or taro but aren’t. Vanilla. The stout’s there but playing second fiddle to the Whisky and paler malts. A fair bit of slightly lighter RamJet. Not very sweet, never threatens to be lush even before a tidy finish. Lowish bitterness nonetheless registers. Alcohol is well integrated. A lot of fun.

On tap at Black Bunny Kitchen, pours a hazy copper with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out floral and piney hops upfront. Flavour brings out notes of piney hops, some perfumey notes, and dry biscuity malt. Quite high astringency. Not bad, but it's quite harsh. Decent.
