6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Large sample at the Clay Oven, Irvine CA on 14th July 2014 during an Indian food and beer tasting evening. Amber body, almost clear, thin white head. Light malty nose with a sweet hint. The taste is also on the sweet side initially with mild caramel and tropical fruitiness, Hops do calm the brew down and give some bitterness mid-sip but the semi-sweetness arrives again in the finish. Pleasant without getting me excited.

Bourbon and Rye Barrel Aged Voo Doo Stout from Left Coast Brewing Company

8.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
14th July 2014 at the Clay Oven, Irvine CA beer tasting with Indian food. The Left Coast people only had one bottle of this to try so I had to have this early in the evening: loved it. The base Stout is a fine drink but this was stronger in alcohol and flavour, richer and sweeter, mellow in fact. Just a lovely beer, end of.

Voo Doo American Stout from Left Coast Brewing Company

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Large sample at the Clay Oven, Irvine CA during a beer tasting with Indian food night on 14th July 2014. Having already tried their stronger Barrel Aged version this was a bit of an anti-climax but it is still a good solid tasty Stout. Black pour with a good tanned head. Plenty of roasted maltiness in the aroma and taste, full bodied and leaning towards bitter in flavour, more from the over roasted malts than a hop bitterness in my opinion. OK, but the Rye/Whisky barrel version shows this up as a base brew.

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Fairly uneventful triple. The India pale lager by green flash I just had was far superior. Some citrus and light astringency. Pours orange with OK head and lacing. Light bitter finish. Lots of malt. Bottle from grape and gourmet.

Quite a stretch at calling this a tripel. Karmeliet will always be the benchmark. Lots of candy, caramel sweetness, darkish amber, minimal head. Aroma is also sugary sweet, tending towards Southern Comfort. Lots left lacking here....

Whole orange and lemon zest aroma, subtle grass and caramel. Hazy amber, thin head. Unmalted barley swiftly replaced with orange peel. Finishes with a more pronounced maltiness. Medium body. Milquetoast for an IPA, but good.
