330ml bottle into lager glass. Pours red/brown with a thin foamy head. Nose is malt with a slight touch of pepper. Easy drinking, light body. Some biscuity malt balanced by late hops. Late on there’s a little watery caramel. It’s OK.

[backlog] 23-04-15 / 330ml bottle at my WG in Melbourne. Good combination between sweetness of malts and hopyy bitterness. I started rating my beers with Untappd and a few basic notes. Now I want to rate them on ratebeer. So my rating sometimes lack some information. Just ignore it, it is for my personal statistics. Untappd-Rating 4/5 --- Beer merged from original tick of Stormy Lager on 23 Apr 2015 at 19:44 - Score: 8

From bottle. Pours black. Nothing exciting on nose. This all seems a little off. The malt have a burnt astrigency and bittering of the hops seems to actually accentuate this aftertaste. I’m hoping I just got a bad bottle.

Bottle. Black with a light tan head 3+ Aroma of oranges, licorice, molasses, blackberries, some minor tropical notes. Nice, perhaps leans a little too much towards fruit for a porter for me. More dark sugars and licorice than roasted, toasty flavours, although there’s some coffee. Some berries but citrus and tropical fruit get a bit lost. Quite bitter at the end with a bit of a red licorice aftertaste. Didn’t really grab me.

Bottle. Pale amber with a white head. Aroma of overripe tropical fruit, caramel, some pine. A bit too heavy on the tropical fruit for me. Not as sweet as expected with enough pine and bitterness to overcome my reservations about the prominence of the tropical fruit. Fairly dry and firmly bitter finish. Solid beer.

Growler. Amber with an off white head that lasts well. Aroma is toasty with some floral notes. Soft in the mouth, maybe a little too light-bodied. Fairly sweet - I’d say toasty rather than biscuity malts - but dries out agreeably, some spices too at the end. Moderate bitterness. A decent quaffable Australian lager - don’t get to say that very often.

Pours rich coppery amber with a small head.Nose shows sweet bready malt, soft melanoidin hints, light spicy hops. Very clean.Flavours follow along those line with more bready malt and a fair bit of sweetness. A very soft cardboard note detracts slightly.Carbonation is a little high for this style.
