Refugee from the RateBeer shutdown (profile name Maris). If my ratings seem consistently high, it's primarily because I've got to the point where I mainly drink the styles I like best, from the breweries who I know produce consistently good gear.

To Catch A Train You Need To Think Like A Train from Bracket Brewing (Marrickville, Australia 🇦🇺)
1 week ago
8.1/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
From a 440ml can on 13/9/2026 (purchased direct from the brewer). Pours a cloudy golden with a medium head. Has a sharp punchy tropical and citrus aroma. Tastes of pineapple, passionfruit, white grape, lemon and lime, with a sharp, tangy, lingering bitterness that mirrors the nose. Has a silky pillowy mouthfeel with softish carbonation. Bold, challenging and very tasty. A great way to mark the birthday of arguably the best brewery in the country.

From a 440ml can on 13/9/2026. Pours a hazy deep golden with a medium head. Has a light citrus and stone fruit nose. Tastes of tangy tangerine, with some sweet apricot and mango, leading into a moderate bitterness featuring a touch of pine and resin. Silky mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Really nicely balanced and very well done.

Burn Notice from One Drop Brewing Co. (Botany, Australia 🇦🇺)

8.4/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
From a 440ml can on 12/9/2026. This one doesn't even include the word stout on the can, but is clearly part of OD's cream pastry stout style. Pours a dark brown milk with just a few bubbles floating on top. The nose is strong with lots of milk chocolate, salted caramel and a touch of banana. All of those are in first rich, creamy, indulgent sip, along with with some vanilla and toffee, leading into a nice sharp finish that takes the edge of the massive sweetness beautifully. The palate is pretty much like chocolate cream with soft carbonation. These guys invariably knock out incredibly good, super sweet pastry stouts, and this is right up there with their very best. Be warned if you don't have a sweet tooth though.

Chaos Realm Volume III from Cypher Brewing Co (Gungahlin, Australia 🇦🇺)
1 week ago
7.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
From a 440ml can on 9/9/2026. Pours a deepest brown with a medium light tan head. The nose is relatively subdued given the size, with some dark chocolate and light pine. It's also very smooth for the size, with dark chocolate, hints of caramel, a good dash of citrus, finishing with a medium but lingering bitterness with pine quite prominent. Has a lovely velvety mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Very enjoyable, if less assertive than I was expecting.

Coconut FIFO from Bracket Brewing (Marrickville, Australia 🇦🇺)

8.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8.5 Texture 9 Overall 8.5
From a 440ml can on 8/9/2026. Pours near black with a small tan head. The nose features dark chocolate with a bit of brown sugar and soy, with some coconut top notes. Taste wise, this one is rich and decadent, featuring dark and milk chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, soy, and the promised coconut. Finishes with a moderate, mildly roasty bitterness, with a hint of booze at the back. The palate is full, creamy and silky, the carbonation softish. Really nicely balanced and very impressive.
