Brother David's Double from Anderson Valley Brewing Company

7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Bottled. Dark brown, brief beige head. Aroma of plum brandy and coffee. Sweet and roasty, softly malty with drier, salty bitter finish. Decidedly more balanced than their Triple.

Poleeko Pale Ale from Anderson Valley Brewing Company

4.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 3 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
Bottled. Golden colour, creamy head. Appley nose with some grass. Sweet with light body and lightly rounded mouthfeel. Lightly orangey finish with medium bitterness. I am getting increasingly underwhelmed by Anderson Valley’s products, which I used to love. This beer I both could, and intend to, live without in the future.

Hop Ottin' IPA from Anderson Valley Brewing Company
22 years ago
7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle Pours a medium dark copper/amber color with a quite large head that settles quickly but maintains a good film and sticky lacing. Aroma is of citrus rind, malt and hops. Flavor is definately citrus up front, malt then the hops come barging in to the party. A lot of carbonation, fairly thin feel and a quick finish that leave quite a bit of hopy bitters at the end.

Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout from Anderson Valley Brewing Company

8.2/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 8
Anderson Valley is a brewer that really overachieves given that they are a brewer that does not get a whole lot of attention. This one was another excellent example of their craft. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz bottle this brew poured thick and black with a small dark brown head. The aroma was fairly strong and had elements of sweet malt and hops. The palate was thick. The flavor was full, rich, malty and sweet with a nice hop undertone. I could detect a hint of bakers chocolate on the finish. Very well done.

Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout from Anderson Valley Brewing Company
22 years ago
9/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9
Bottle Pours extremely dark, with a very dark tan head that is thick and creamy.Let this warm up a tad before pouring, 54F. Aroma is a very nice rich chocloate, coffee, charcoal and a little sweetness, brown sugar maybe. Flavors are pretty much as amove. The coffee and charcoal coming though more than the others. Mouth feel is smooth and buttery. .Letting it warm up a bit helped here I’m sure. Very low carbonation and very little hopps character. Slightly burnt lingering trailer. Delicious.

Bottle. Brown, slightly reddish, beer with a quickly dissapearing beige-head. Sweet malt aroma that’s got some yeast and slight fruitiness to it. The flavor is complex - sweet malt, fruit, yeast, and more, but the trend is toward a slightly swete aftertaste that doesn’t quite pull the beer off. It’s a shame... if they could cut down on the sweet finish, it’d be a better beer.

Brother David's Triple from Anderson Valley Brewing Company
22 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle. A very clear golden brown amber color with almost no head. A rich malty/caramel/brown sugar aroma laced with a yeasty tone. Brown sugar and malt tones. This beer has a rich sweetness that doesn’t quite fit the tripel theme. Sure, it’s got a Belgian flavor to it, it has an alcohol warming, there’s a yeastiness, but it’s too dependent on the malt and adjuncts. There’s a lack of fruitiness and of compexity. It’s not all bad, but it’s not what you’d think from the name.

Beautiful thick head of off white on a black body. Roast coffee malt aroma that improves greatly as it warms. Nice balance of roasty bitterness and sweet malt. Lacks a little in body, but makes it up with an exceptionally smooth brew over the tongue. Very drinkable Stout.

Sample draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
Brownish amber, clear, very small head. Orangey, resiny nose. Dry with hard, clean, firm maltiness. Intensely hoppy & bitter. Flawless, but one-diemnsional.
