Originally posted by TheHOFF43 Me too, but not a funny one. I’m not laughing and I have a great sense of humor. So, way to be condescending, and discouraging an attempt to make the site more technically correct, Shine. Anyway, as noted in my original post, the brewer refers to this beer as a "Imperial White Milk Stout." They’re just playing around. Pipeworks does that a lot. It’s perfectly cool. If someone who has actually tried the beer wants to chime in and say it was reminiscent of ratebeer’s style guideline of an "imperial stout," and most other "imperial stouts" they’ve tried, then let’s just lay this to rest. Ratebeer’s style guideline for "imperial stout" reads: "Imperial stouts are usually extremely dark brown to black in color with flavors that are intensely malty, deeply roasted and sometimes with accents of dark fruit (raisin, fig) and chocolate. The bitterness is typically low to moderate. Imperial stouts are strong and generally exceed 8% ABV." Also of note, and included in the original post, is that although I submitted my requests via proper ratebeer protocol, I have not recieved the responses I was told I would receive within the 48 hour window. It’s been more like four months... and then two months the second time. I want to make sure the system is working as it should. If not, it would encourage users to submit requests via the forums instead of proper ratebeer protocol... which I’ve sort of done here and was chastised for doing it. I’m not being radical. I’m just trying to understand why my request was neither honored nor explained away in the e-mail or beermail I was told I’d received. Maybe there’s a glitch in the system? Something preventing requests from members getting through to the admins when using the "send corrections" or the "contact/feedback" links. Maybe not; but if so, I’d like to let the admins know something’s not working right. |
I can say very quickly that the current policy is: |
Tag away for other blonde/golden/white stouts you know of: |
Good enough for me. |
Nevermind my previous posts. I’m too wordy and this has been too time consuming. Totally not worth it. Just trying to help out. Nuke this baby and put it out of my misery. |
I have had hey careful and nothing about it resembles a stout. Pours is like cloudy cream soda. Taste is sweet boozy cream. Has no coffe/roast or nuttiness |
fwiw, ASA seems most appropriate or S/H/V |
Originally posted by hopscotch No, this is a good post and I would like more people to read the responses as this is a constant topic of debate. I agree with beastie here that ASA or S/H/V is the way to go here. |
a similar situation |
Originally posted by GT2 I too think its an important topic. Style classification, especially nowadays, is very difficult. I may not be able to put it into words but Careful Man does not fit my conceptualization of an Impy Stout. also, drewbeerme served as the model for that label. |
