Unique

Certified Cicerone ® & BJCP Recognized Beerjudge Bartender @ Beerlovers Bar & Owner @ Siris About Beer. All ratings displayed on this site are personal opinions, and are not neccesarily to be seen as professional reviews. Some of these beers have been drank in conditions that were far from optimal. If you'd like a professional review of your beer, please contact me. Always interested in meeting up/sharing beers / trading beer . Next to beer, I have a big passion for Ice cider, Mead, and Sherry. Exploring the wine and spirit world asside of this all. Allow me to explain a bit on how I score. These are based on personal enjoyment. Quality & 'in style' are part of that enjoyment, but won't totally make or break a drink, if I myself have a different opinion. Whiskey : Rated on the website 'whiskeybase' ( account Kraddell ) Wine : Rated on the App / Site 'Vivino' ( Account named Kraddel . ) <-- with the dot. Still searching a medium for other spirits, so those aren't online for now. If you know anything, let me know ;) For all mediums, the score is decided like this : 100 : Absolute perfection. Must have sampled it at least twice, and be mindblown twice. 90 - 100 : absolutely amazing. I'd like a drink like this anytime, even if it ain't the cheapest. 80-90 : Very damn good. It'll depend a bit more on the price - but this is probably one to seek out. 70-80 : better than average . Will likely enjoy again if it's priced compeditive. 70 : Average score for anything with alcohol . // 50 : The absolute middlepoint ( pure H2O ) Anything with alcohol beneath 50 is simply not worth drinking (seriously, concider your liver) // 05 : The absolute, final downpoint . Songs shall be written about how this attack to the tastebuds has started a rage within, killing inocent bystanders for no apparent reason - other than the fact my life is ruined by drinking this. On the other hand, it's kinda interesting to try something THIS bad, so you should probably seek it out ! As you can see, I use the FULL scale , and a rating of 70 by myself isn't bad at all !

Kraddel (15844) reviewed Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA from New Belgium Brewing Company 2 months ago

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7

Pours clear blonde, amber glow. Small white head, stable but not very creamy lookin'. Scent is medium crystal malt-forward, whiff of pine hopy notes. Not very intense for the abv or style. Taste is fairly bitter, mildly sweet. pine is clear, some crystal malts. Not amazing, certainly a bit underwhelming for the ABV, but equally certainly enjoyable as a random beer. Decent !

Kraddel (15844) reviewed Brew Noir from Schwarze Rose Craft Beer 2 months ago

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6.5 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5

Pours black, tanned head fades fast. Scent is overwhelmingly coffee forward. Green and herbal, spicy coffee. Taste is rather harsh, roasty, burnt, bit ashy. Far less coffee than expected, but still quite clear on the coffee. Manageable levels and style though. The low ABV means that - as is to be expected- this is not a thick, robust stout. Its ment for easy drinking, and works quite well for that. Medium czrbonation levels, and overall intensity isnt to high, but at least its interesting and more flavorfull than guiness or alternatives . Decent, though i obviously prefer the heavier ones. For what it is, whzt more can you ask though? Decently bitter, too.

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5

Pours a fairly dark copperamber, medium sized, stable near-white head. Scent is mild, crisp caramel maltyness, fairly mild on the hops though. Taste is full, bitter, crisp malty base (caramelly crystal malts) . Hoparoma is mild. Medium bitter finish of medium length. Very decent, easy going. nothing spectacular, but balanced and enjoyable.

Kraddel (15844) reviewed Bourbon Maple Geuze from Publitasting 2 months ago

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5

Pours unclear blonde. Big white head, fades rather fast. Scent is raw, stables, funky brett, mild wood. Doenst really show the age or maple (yet). Taste is full, intense on the woody notes, medium tartness, citrus. Brett. Maple not very recognizable, alcohol very hidden. High (too high) carbo. More than decent as a geuze, but I perhaps expected a bit more maple (and less carbo) + more 'old lambic' character

Kraddel (15844) reviewed Popular Punch from Les Intenables Craft Beer 2 months ago

Appearance - 5 | Aroma - 6.5 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5

Pours milkshake-hazy yellow, muddy. Scent is mild, very creamy impression but very little hops. Taste is full, hoppowder, exhausting powdery body. Somehow has hopburn but little hoparoma. Very lactic (not actual lactose, just the thickness and sweetness of it) . One of those modern hazy's, that put most effort in the haze, not the quality.

Kraddel (15844) reviewed The Hoppy Horror Picture Brew from Straßenbräu 2 months ago

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 6.5

Pours a clear pale blonde. Small white head. Scent is fine, fruity, orange. Midly tropical wheat is hidden. Taste is mild, somewhat hoppy, but way less than expected. Citronella, floral, kinda sharp. Coriander ? Not getting mich wheat, and the IPA part is very mich on the safe side. Pleases the crowds rather than the kraddel 😉
