draft at the brewpub - Pours a dark yellow that’s the first clue this isn’t like most doppelbocks. It has a very small white head. The aroma is mild bready malt and a little alcohol. The bartender said the abv was about 8%. The flavor is very sweet bready malt with a touch of fruit esters. It’s full bodied and finishes sweet and alcoholic. Pretty good.

draft at the brewpub - Pours very dark brown with a lingering tan head. The aroma is chocolate with some roast malt in there. The flavor is what really makes this one a chocolate bomb. It’s sweet and full of chocolate There is of course some dark roast malt character in there, but it’s more in the background. The chocolate clearly dominates. It’s medium bodied and pretty good overall.

Sample at the Hopsnobbery Collective Porter tasting on 12/4/08: This beer is a nearly opaque dark brown color with a thin and foamy light brown head that recedes steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Roasted coffee and malt in the nose plus a bit of chocolate. Medium, dry body with flavors of roasted coffee and malt, plus some hops. The finish is roasted malt with a short sweet chocolate aftertaste. Above average overall.

draft at the brewpub - I think there’s some confusion about Mad Anthony’s Replicales. Last year’s version was a pale ale. This year’s is listed by the brewer as a Scottish ale. My understand is that Replicale is an annual thing where Indiana brewers share a base recipe. Then each brewery makes their own version with their own interpretation of the recipe. At any rate, this version is a light amber with a thin, linger head. It smells mainly of caramel malt. The flavor is led by the lightly roast accented caramel malt and some good hops that’s more noticeable than is typical for the style. It’s medium bodied and pretty drinkable.

draft at the brewpub - Pours amber with a thin, lasting head that laces the glass nicely. It smells of caramel malt and ample hops. Their regular American Red is a very hoppy interpretation of the style and this amped up version is no different. Strong hops bitterness dominates the milder caramel malt in the flavor. The flavor of the hops seems a little lacking in complexity, but it’s still a very tasty brew. The bartender told me the abv was around 10. I’m not convinced it’s quite that high, but it’s up there and yet not very noticeable. Medium body, long, pleasantly bitter finish. Very good.

@Indiana Beerfest-12oz bottle-pours a thin white head that laces and yellow color. Aroma is northwest hops-lemon/pine (Amarillo & cascade?). taste is dry, northwest hops-lemon/pine (Amarillo & cascade?)-some bitter, some light malt. OK/mild carbonation.

draft at the brewpub - This fruit beer pours up light amber with a thin head and a malt and blueberry aroma. The blueberry flavor is modest but definitely there. It’s light bodied, definitely a warm weather brew. There’s nothing remarkable here, but I thought it was alright.

draft at the brewpub - Pours black with a lasting thin tan head. The aroma is of roast malt and chocolate. The flavor is an enjoyable blend of dark roast malt, chocolate, and a hint of coffee along with enough hops to balance it out and give the finish a little bite. Medium bodied and like many fine beers, better as it warms, MA’s head brewer has produced another very tasty variation on a porter. It’s no MA bourbon-barrel porter, but it’s still quite enjoyable.

tap at the brewpub - Brewed to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Mad Anthony Brewing, this imperial IPA pours copper colored with a thin, lingering white head. The aroma is primarily of big, citrus hops with a light hint of pine as well. The flavor is obviously very rich in hops though I thought the malt backbone was sufficient to prop up all that hops. This imperial ale is dangerously easy drinking, I think in part because of the light carbonation. It just slides right down leaving the expected long, hopped up finish. Very good.
