Oakes Profile - Brewver

Medium amber and bright. Medium head. Biscuity malt nose, light herbaceous hop. Mild fruitiness of yeast. A touch of crystal malt, moderate bitterness, slight marmaladey note. A very stoupaceous take on the winter ale, I like it.

Indoor Tropics IPA from Stoup Brewing

1 year ago

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Gold and bright, thick head. Good pale malt, maybe a touch sticky. Light citrusy hop…balance a bit too far to the sweet for me but it’s not bad.

Nevertheless Non-Alcoholic Pilsner from Strange Fellows Brewing

1 year ago

4.6/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 4.5

Pours quite pale, dull. Somewhat worty and with a light hop character. Touch of bitterness. Passable, but certainly not upper tier for non-alcoholic pils.

Matryoshka (2025) - Westland & Whiskey Barrel Aged with Vanilla Bean, Cocoa, Pistachios & Cinnamon from Fort George Brewery

1 year ago

8.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

I get pistachio and cocoa a lot on this. Then a big vanilla finish, with boozy bourbon and sweet rich chocolate. Dark brown, big aroma, excellent as always.

8.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

Dark brown, big vanilla depths. Fat tangy bourbon, chocolate. Strong, straight down mainstreet with the flavours but I'm okay with that.

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

Gold colour, bright, thin head. Earthy old school hops, a bit if grassiness…okay but Mt Rainier? I don't know that hop. Mellow base, light tartness and quite woody.

The Spontaneous Ferment: Blueberries from Garden Path Fermentation

1 year ago

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Pale blueish-purple. Tart, lactic, mellow blueberry, and gets quite acidic at the end. Good body but it feels like it needs more blueberries.
