3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
750ml bottle into a Teku glass. Huge thanks to bstyle.
A – Pours a dark, red hued brown body. Crazy amounts of dark grey foam. It was a real effort just to get a standard pour it would foam up so much. Crazy lacing and retention, this stuff just clumps onto the glass and stays forever.
S – Some faint citrus and fruity esters, pilsner malt, grass and light charred malts.
T – Faded piney hops, clean pilsner malt and Belgian yeast fruits followed by some lightly roasted malt and a lingering bitterness. Very drinkable yet very forgettable. Mouth feel is creamy and rich, very nice.
O – A very average but drinkable beer. The fact that the label is unbelievably bad ass completely makes up for it though.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 17/20
Most explosively carbonated lager I have seen. Smell is pils malt, bready, nice herbal hoppiness. Mouthfeel is extremely carbed. It has a nice mix of male malt and a hint of roased malt. Nice earthy and herbal hops, some lemon. This is a really great beer but has a pretty over-carbonated presence.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at James’ place. Pours brown with an off white head. Lightly roasted malts, light toasty notes, and lightly bitter floral hops. Not a bad beer in a style I tend to like.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at James’ place for a tasting. Pours a deep brown with a large beige head. Light smoke, a touch of paper. A bit sweet and papery again, more smoke. Lingering smoke. A bit off.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle shared at tasting at my house. Pours dark brown with tan head. Nose and taste of citrus, burnt toast, toffee, yeast and light spicy malt. Finishes with light alcohol soaked citrus rinds. Medium body.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Healthy Spirits, San Francisco. Pours dark brown with a fluffy tan head and a treacle aroma. There is a fairly bitter toasty dark molasses flavor with a mild citrus finish. Not a bad tasting beer in spite of the relatively low ratings.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle shared by Marcus. Color is black with a huge off white head. Aroma is sweet. The taste is coffee and toffee.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle thanks to GT2. Cloudy brown pour with fluffy head. Nose and flavor bring nice ashen and roasted malt character, though with a lighter, wheat-style body. Pils hop character, spicy, almost as if some rye malt might have been used? Very herbal, particularly in the flavor. Good and tasty, but not really enticing.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Berry and cola nose with lots of toffee, biscuity malts. Tate is fairly dry, lots of toffee, some dough, raisins. Kinda meh.
