Imperial Stout from Mendocino Brewing Company

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
335 ml bottle. Black body with a fine, dense beige head. Nice, strong aroma of dark, roasted malt, mocha, coffee and some dry fruit. Flavor is sweet, dark roasted malt, chocolate, some coffee, some dry fruit and good balanced bitterness. Fine body with a long lasting aftertaste of sweet roasted malt. Rock solid well made, no nonsense traditional imperial stout.

Anniversary Ale (Pale Ale) from Mendocino Brewing Company

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle - A bit of grain and sweet fresh grapefruit. Pale gold with a bubbly white head. A bit of orange and spice are in the nose as well. Nice malty sweetness, almost honey like, followed by grapefruit/pine hops. A surprisingly subtle ale, I thought this would end up as an IPA, but the malts keep it in check.

Bottle at International Great Beer Expo (Meadowlands). Light amber color, small white foamy head, high carbonation, very faint hops aroma, yeasty taste, abrupt finish. Not an impressive beer.

Eye of the Hawk Select Ale from Mendocino Brewing Company
12 years ago
6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
355 ml bottle. Almost clear, deep golden body with a rather small off-white head. Quite strong but plain aroma of malt and caramel. Flavor is sweet caramel malt with some fruit and moderate bitterness. Medium body and aftertaste with sweet caramel malt. Absolutely drinkable, but reminds me a lot of a rather malty homebrew that lacks some hoppy flavors. This is old school. Alcohol is well hidden btw.

White Hawk Select IPA from Mendocino Brewing Company

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
355 ml bottle. Slightly unclear deep golden body with a medium sized off-white head. Nice aroma of citric fruit and caramel malt. Flavor is sweet, caramel malt, biscuit, citric fruit and decent bitterness. Medium body and bitter aftertaste. A well-made, straight forward old school American IPA with malt balance. Nothing special but nothing wrong either. A decent thirst quencher.

Red Tail Ale from Mendocino Brewing Company

6.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
355 ml bottle. Clear reddish amber body with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma is mainly malty with some caramel, pine and citric fruit. Flavor is sweet malt, bread, some citric fruit and balanced bitterness. Medium body and moderate aftertaste with sweet malt. Mainly a malt driven beer, somehow balanced, but pretty straight forward and not very exciting.

Imperial Stout from Mendocino Brewing Company

7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Bottle, 12oz. It pours a black body under a dense, tan head of moderate size. Toffee, roasted malts, dark chocolate and a touch of dried fruits in the aroma. The flavor is quite roasted and burnt, with tar and a hint of bonfire. Full-bodied, warming and softly carbonated. Lasting burnt and roasted finish with a meaty touch and some tar. Nothing impressive going on here, but it’s sure drinkable. 131231
