Ibrew2or3 Profile

Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a nice dark mahogany colored body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy to woody to piney hops wrapped in a thin dark roasted malt blanket. The taste delivers similar notes with spicy to piney hop bitter goodness followed by a bit of burnt malts, dark roasted coffee and some chocolate malts. Solid easy drinking CDA that doesn't get rich or deep in flavor. I dig it.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Pint can pours with a nice dark colored body that supports a nice full tan head of foam. The aroma offers up . . . oh Jesus! this is straight up banana with hints of roasted to dark roasted malts just on the periphery of the aromatic experience. Whoa, the taste delivers banana from front to back with modest booziness and roasted malts in the background. As it warms a bit the roastiness and roasted coffee do build a meager semblance of "balance." OK.

Legacy Edition #2 - Weller Barrel Aged Stout from The Shop Beer Company

4 months ago

9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 10 Texture 9 Overall 9.5

375mL bottle pours with a mahogany colored body, that doesn't look all that dark for a stout, that supports a thin tan head. The modest aroma offers up reduced sugars, a dash of sherry and then a sense of roast and faint chocolate. The taste delivers, whoa . . . the integrated and moderately complex flavor hits right away, err, it delivers fun dark roasted malts and chocolate and then getting into the boozy barrel character. Beneath those notes are slicker sweeter sort of toffee molasses goodness. Wow. This is a well executed sipper as it's integrated, runs deep and rich but not too much, carries great balance between beer notes and barrel treatment and it also maintains a pleasing slick mouth feel that's just right. Yeah, keep this up team The Shop Beer Co.. This is one of the better beers I've had in a while.

Gimme Yule Gimme Fire from Stone Brewing

8.3/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

Pint can pours with a mahogany colored body that supports a nice tight tan head of foam. The aroma offers up figs and plums as well as a bit of roasted malt followed by subtle boozy barrel treatment character. The taste delivers fairly slick sweetness that's molasses blended with a bit of plum and date like sweet fruity esters. To midway a boozy sort of oak like spiciness leads to a whiskey sensation heading into the finish. Nice winter warmer.

8.5/10 — Appearance 9 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a chocolate to burnt copper colored body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up an interesting and inviting blend of grapefruit, pine, chocolate malts and roasted malts. The taste delivers firm grapefruit to pine sap near chewy hop bitterness. To midway chocolate malts and increasingly roasted malts begin to kick in and culminating with a moderate degree of burnt malts. This achieves a tasty hop to roasted malt balance. I dig it.
