| | | Hop Back Winter Lightning | 3.4 | downender  | | | Cask-conditioned at the Coronation, Bristol 09/02/10. Amber coloured with next to no head. Aroma of caramel, ginger and a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavour was malty with more of the same spicing, fruity hops and a decent bitter finish. Still one of the better English spiced winter beers. | | | | Great Lakes Brewing Bitter Wife IPA | 3.4 | blankboy | | | Draught at Volo. Pours a hazy copper-gold with an average size lasting creamy off-white head. Some decent lacing. Aroma: Not bad, quite malty, caramel or toffee, some fruit -- could stand to be hoppier. Flavour: Again, malty with the hops in the back, but it does have a nice, slightly spicy bitter finish. Average bodied. Could be better, it’s malty for the style but still pretty good overall. | | | | Maisels Weisse Alkoholfrei | 1.8 | Blom | | | Pale yellow with fragmented head. Sweet aroma of yeast, corn and bread. The flavour is weak, sweet and metallic. A little bit of wheat nothes though: bubblegum and banana. | | | | Hop Back Back Row | 3.3 | downender | | | Cask-conditioned at the Coronation, Bristol 09/02/10. Copper coloured with a decent white head. Aroma of cereal malts, apricots and grassy hops. Flavour had plenty of weetabix, more summer fruit and a decent dry finish. Enjoyable. | | | | Copper Creek Oatmeal Stout Aged on Cherries and Oak | 3.8 | ChainGangGuy | | | Appearance: Near black body layered with a wispy, sudsy, beige-hued head.
Smell: Lightly roasty dark maltiness throw off notes of chocolate and coffee. Touch of vanilla from the oak. Touch of cherry fruitiness from the, well, cherries.
Taste: Dark, roasty-toned malts with tastes of semi-sweet chocolate, coffee grinds, and darkened grains. From the added oak wood comes just a little bit of vanilla. Modestly sweet overall. Earthy, roasty bitterness. Mild dark fruitiness along with a light cherry essence, the later being present though not particularly appreciable (but it is appreciated). Slight sweetness, slight roastiness on the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium-low carbonation.
Drinkability: A pleasant brew from Copper Creek. It’s a pity I so rarely make the long trek out to Athens to visit them, but, checking my March task itinerary, I’ll be attending a birthday celebration later in that month, so, here and now on this website, I will make the promise to swing by CC at that time. | | | | Charlevoix Vache Folle Bravo Double IPA | 3.9 | DuffMan | | | Bottle, thanks Trevor. Pours a deep orange-amber with a thick off-white head. Aroma is sweet cirus (candied orange) and toffee. Flavours are heaps of toffee malt balanced equally by hearty hoppy aromatics of orange citrus oil with a flash of spiciness. Mouthfeel is sticky and heavy, much like their Simcoe IIPA. Biterness is big and in balance, but not over-the-top like a lot of IIPAs are. This may not be for everyone, given its sweter-than-average profile, but I really enjoyed it. | | | | Maribo Juleøl | 2.1 | Blom | | | Black with a brown head. Aroma of dark bread, roasted malts, a bit of smoke and corn. The flavour is sweet and malty with notes of roasted malts and brown sugar. | | | | Thisted Mørk Dana Hvidtøl | 2.6 | Blom | | | Black with a low brown-greyish head. Sweet malty aroma: brown sugar, chocolate and corn. The flavour is nicely balanced, not overly sweet and refreshing. | | | | Maribo Mørk Hvidtøl | 1.8 | Blom | | | Black with a brown head. Sweet aroma of bread, brown sugar and roasted malts. The flavour is very sweet, almost cloying, but still it’s a pretty decent Hvidtøl. | | | | Niagaras Best Spiced Apple Cider | 3.7 | blankboy | | | Draught at Volo. Pours a murky cool-looking yellow-orange with no head. Nice aroma of apples and spices. Interesting flavour of tart apples and spices, it tastes like a cold mulled cider -- if this were warm it would be awesome. Average bodied. Quite nice, I really enjoyed this. | | | | Weihenstephaner Original Alkoholfrei | 1.4 | HenrikSoegaard | | | Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Pale yellow colour. Moderate bad bready aroma. No bitterness. Short light bitter finish. Watery palate. Just another bad LA. | | | | Bernard Jantarový Ležák 11° | 3 | petexner | | | bottle. slight dissapointment. nice dark color, average taste. drinkable if really cold. | | | | Flying Dog Raging Bitch | 3.9 | MesandSim | | A Mes rate. Bottle at the Rake.
Sometimes what I put into the RB search field without noticing makes me chuckle once I’ve hit enter. Considering I’ve just done a search for "Fly Bitch" this was definitely one of those. Yeah homeboy, bring on the fly bitches. Ahem… Fantastic clean amber body with a good white head that lasts well and leaves some decent lacing. Bloody brilliant NZ type hoppy snout. Some amonia, lots of tropical fruit and pleasantly fierce. The flavour is more ofthe same. Grassy and resinous, plus a good hit of chewy malt. Excellent bitterness. Great dryness. Good lingering juicy fruits. Damn good stuff all round. | | | | Cornish Orchards Dry Draught Cider | 3.4 | downender | | | From a polypin at the Orchard, Bristol 09/10/02 at 7.1% ABV. Gold in colour with no carbonation. Aroma of apple skins, slate and a touch of wood. Flavour had plenty of apple juice, a slight mineral edge and some herbs, before a dry finish. Enjoyable. | | | | Schwaben Bräu Das Weizen | 3.1 | CEZ | | | Average hefeweizen under almost all aspects, but with a slightly metallic note. Slightly sub-par example but I like the style anyway, so... | | More » |

…and a nice herbal hoppy presence in the aroma. Soft hay and grains greet the tongue, followed by a touch of honeybread and earthy hops right along side it; finish is a bit on the hoppy side. Clean, crisp, but still full of flavor; both malt and hops are strong,… -- badbeer of Rothaus Pils Tannen Zäpfle |
