Description
At Moon Dog we love crafting bloody delicious beers that are fun and a little bit different. We've been doing it since 2010 at our rad brewery in the backstreets of inner Melbourne’s Abbotsford. Over the years we’ve grown a heap, adding our tropical brewery bar paradise, the ballroom oasis function space, and a freakin' big fancy production brewery to keep more delicious beers flowing. We’re a proudly independent, Australian owned craft brewery, still run by the same guys that started it all those years ago.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of maneliquor. Pours an opaque pitch black with a lively if dissipating light brown head. Bourbon and peat in the nose. Medium body, violent carbonation, roast, peat, ink and iodine with an ashy roastiness. Malt bitter finish. Another interesting Moon Dog beer if somewhat out of control! 030612

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of maneliquor. Pours a hazy dark nutty brown with a frothy and lacing off-white head. Sweet roasty nose with a little aromatic hops. Rich body, carbonation is a little excessive, massive roasty coffee notes with some raisin touches, heavy hops - slightly citrusy with a roasty bitterness. A little funk lurking. Another interesting Moon Dog beer. 030612

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of maneliquor. Pours a hazy yellow with a dense and frothy shaving foam style head leaving quite some lacework. Very funky, Bretty nose with some fruity hops up there. Rich body, solid malt base, again massive funky Brett, slightly tart and a shitload of hops. Not so much Cognac though - I guess the barrel aging all turned into Brett! Nothing like what I expectec, but quite interesting indeed. 030612

Pours pale straw with a large head.Nose shows funky brett notes, very soft guava, gooseberries, lemon. Not particularly interesting.A little more guava is noticeable as a flavour, mostly as an underlying sweetness amidst the brett and very faint acidity.Carbonation is a bit full on.

Bottle. Hazy yellow with a large souffle-like white head that lasts well. Very high bead. Aroma is barnyardy with complex citrus and tropical fruit. Light-bodied with a little slickness. Sweet lemon pudding, wheaty tartness, grapefruit, lime-leaf, white pepper, a little detergent. Little if any bitterness. Very refreshing with some interesting things going on.

Tap at GABS. Orange amber with a small white head. Aroma of sour peach, foetid mango, Dubbin (!). Sweet and sour taste is earthy with fruit stones, mango (verging on durian), toffee. Slightly slick mouthfeel, woody finish. I don’t like mango enough to love this. [3.3] Tiny growler. All the fruit, no boot polish. Mango is tamer, sour peach is lovely. Light bodied, no slickness. Woody and quite peppery at the end, with some pineapple-like acid. Enjoyed this much more this time.

Pours pale straw with a small head.Nose shows funky horse-blanket, soft watermelon and faint lemon.The watermelon is much more noticeable as a flavour in a confectionery sort of way, along with doughy wheat much later.Too much carbonation.
