Oakes Profile - Brewver

Dark brown. No head. Aroma doesn't really go anywhere, just sort of a thin chocolate syrup. On the palate, it's got good body. Lots of chocolate, that's the main theme. Has a bitterness that sort of clashes a bit with the malts.

Barley Wine Américain from Beauregard - Brasserie Distillerie

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

Vibrant amber colour. Thin head. Crystal malt and marmalade throwback aroma. That orange is nice, lemon verbena, some lychee. On the palate, it's got again that bright citrusy character. Lots of bitterness, and lots of sweetness, too. Not that chewy, actually, certainly less chewy than the aroma hinted at. Everything is coming together really well.

Papanero from Ritual LAB: Brewing & Growing

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

It's black, and has no head. The aroma has some iodine sort of character, along with dark malts. On the palate, good body, lots of dark malt. Good body - drinks lighter and relatively easy for an imperial stout. So to me this is a distinctive character, that's actually pretty good.

6.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6

Dark brown. The aroma is toasty, a bit of brett. But on the palate, it's got some sourness. There's a bit of toasty stout in there as well.

South-Up from Reuben's Brews

1 year ago

7.5/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Slight haze, amber. Little bit of head. Some floral hop aromas, with pear. On the palate, it's got lots of bitterness, vinous notes, pear again. Some alcohol in the finish as well. It's got a fair bit of malt, though it's not the greatest malt character. More simple, and not 100% in alignment with the complex hops.

10 Plato Austrian Lager from Fair Isle Brewing

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

Slight haze, pale. Thin head. Light body, low bitterness, maybe a touch of grassiness, but this seems more malt-oriented. It's clean, some herbaceous accents in the finish.

Super Lemon Haze from Four Winds Brewing

1 year ago

Very pale yellow, opaque. Smells like a weedy hazy, limonene. So much limonene. Medium body, sort of oaty, medium bitterness, maybe some orange, even linalool. The most composed Four Winds terp IPA so far, but the base is still rudimentary in structure. Give me 10% more malt character (remember dewulf & cosyns honey malt?) and some ctz or Chinook. That would take this great lemon character and really elevate it.

Cool Britannia from Luppolo Brewing Company

7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

Pale amber, slight haze. Medium head. The aroma is toasty, lightly fruity, a bit of mushroom in there. Fairly clean, which places all the emphasis on the malt…it’s complex enough with biscuity notes and a hint of toastiness to hold up to the challenge. Light orangey note. Okay the only thing for me is EKG…a great hop but not over here; we get the shittiest 10% of them. This beer needed some northdown, bramling or challenger, or fuck it one of the new ones even I don’t know shit all about. They started to make something unique then left a real opportunity on the table.
