Oakes Profile - Brewver

Bright gold. Ok…slight acetaldehyde on aroma and palate, lowish bitterness and ok crackey malt. Described as rustic which is usually code for “we can’t make a professional-grade lager” but this is at least pro level…just not interesting.

Northern Wind from Holy Mountain Brewing Company

8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

Pale salmon colour. Like a luminescent #fd8535. On the palate, tart, woody, lots of barrel, some really nice pomace. Very good.

Adversarial Patterns from Fort George Brewery

1 year ago

8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

Dark Dark brown. No head. Big marshmallow and vanilla on the nose. Thick, a bit of that pbc2 but it’s washed out by bourbon and chocolate. And vanilla, lots of that. Burly, not entirely refined, but it’s very good as one expects from Fort George.
