| | | Williams Sir Perry | 2.7 | j12601  | | | Can. Pours a clear straw yellow with a thin white head. Smells a bit like a pear tart, with some pear and pastry notes. Odd. Rather sweet, slight pear, and a little bit of ascorbic acid. Finishes with more acid and a light pear tartness and even more sweetness. | | | | Smuttynose Old Brown Dog | 3.3 | georgekillian | | | Love my brown ales and this is a great one, full bodied hops and flavor and has much more kick then a typical english brown ale, very well done!! | | | | Deschutes Black Butte Porter | 2.8 | scooterbub | | | Bottle. Pours a dark black color with a large, fluffy, tan head that slowly fades. Taste is of roasted malt, smoke, chocolate, coffee and some caramel. A little bitter and slightly thin. Similar aroma. Easy to drink and enjoyable. Not bad, but not great either. | | | | Smuttynose Summer Weizen Ale | 2.3 | georgekillian | | | Really enjoyed this light summer beer great flavor of wheat and barley from the hops but not overpowering very good beer to drink on a summer day | | | | Hair of the Dog Ruth | 3.2 | rocbyter | | | Resin hop and malt aroma. Cloudy orange color with a small white head. Mild bitter that fades slowly. Weak palate. | | | | Blue Point Summer Ale | 2.9 | georgekillian | | | This beer has a delicious light flavor with a very floral aroma, that goes really good on a hot summer day! a very good seasonal summer beer with just the right amount of tartness | | | | Midnight Sun Oak Aged Imperial Chocolate Pumpkin Porter | 4 | ajm | | | Bottle from a great trade with hannont. Many thanks for this long-time want. A very solid Thanksgiving beer. Nose of clay, dirt, moldy wood, dry pumpkin, baker’s cocoa and light nutmeg. Deep dark brown with cinnamon emulsion head. Flavor is sweet pumpkin, nutmeg, dirty wood, light chocolate and an unmistakable English porter - not as imperial as I would like. Solid, but she’s no Big Black Pumpkin. | | | | St. Bernardus Christmas Ale | 3.9 | larryLSB | | | Poured from 750ml, into a St. Bernardus chalice, darker brown, with reddish hue and medium light tan head. Nose of figs, spices, ginger and bread, with good carbonation. Taste was sweet and smooth, nicely balanced, with a nice overall warm finish. The first of the Belgium Christmas ales this year will revisit before the 25th of December | | | | St. Bernardus Christmas Ale | 4.4 | TheHulk | | | WOW!! this is definately an ale first and seasonal second. Aroma is of crisp clean malt, at great odds with the colour. It’s quite dark but clear around the edges, it sort of holds ther dark stuff inside itself somehow. head is good on pour, goes down but remains bubbly. GREAT malt taste, it’s not that strong but still manages to be rich, the usual x-mas spices are there I think but you really have to want to taste them, the ale flavour eclipses them, though as I have a few more sips there are starting to show. I think I had this beer too cold for full flavour but unfortunately I can’t decipher the heiroglyphs they call ’farenheight’ to accurately discern that. The smoothness keeps on going after the swallow, bubbles and still that great malt aftertaste, the same as it was in the beginning of the flavour. It really is hard to taste the 10%. | | | | New Belgium Frambozen | 3.8 | Angelmonster | | | Pours a 2 finger white head with pinkish highlights. Body is brown and red when held up to light. Head retention and lacing are above average but unusual color of beer pushes the appearance score higher
Aroma is of cranberry juice and pale malt. No hops are detected. Fruit is the dominant smell here
Taste is of tart, sweet cranberry juice. Even though it’s labeled a rasberry brown ale, I’m not getting any characteristics of a brown ale. Reminds me of a slightly less sweet Framboise
Mouth feel is good. Carbonation is lively but not too much. Body is pretty light and head doesnt really contribute to it
Overall it is good. Cant believe this beer is 6.5% abv, very session able. Was hoping that the beer would have more flavors of a brown ale to go with the fruitiness but unfortunately it doesnt. | | | | Verhaeghe Duchesse De Bourgogne | 3.5 | haggis03a3 | | | Dark ruby color with nice, lasting off white head. Aroma is vinegary and a little fruity. Taste is better, sour, tangy, fruity, sweet, a little malty - caramel. Nice beer overall. Dry finish. | | | | Saranac Rye IPA | 3 | bobman006 | | | Bottle. Pours golden orange with tight white head. Aroma is floral with grass, grain, and caramel. Flavors of grain, cheese (w/ cheddar, gouda, and swiss), and an earthy bitterness. Smooth and silky. Could use a little more body. A little dull but satisfying. | | | | Zinnebir Christmas (X-mas) 2009 | 3.6 | popery | | | Nice, simple Belgian-style ale. The beer pours a dusky copper with a big, frothy head. There’s a lot of fruit, caramel, raisins, dough and floral hops in the aroma. The flavor is lightly sweet with a bit of hop bite in the finish, but it’s mostly an exercise in Belgian yeast and malt. It’s a good but somewhat simple Belgian. The mouthfeel could be fuller. That said, it’s not bad for the abv. The beer generally packs more than most of comparable size, and that’s always a good thing. | | | | Portsmouth Bottle Rocket IPA | 3.6 | wavers1 | | | bottle courtesy of cletus, thanks man! pours a hazy medium amber color with a 1 finger foamy head as the result of a vigorous pour. aroma is nice with lots of sweetness and some ripe berry notes coming through with a nice sweet dough. taste is nice, its a smooth drinker and would make a damn good session beer, imho. not super complex, just plenty of bitter hops and a touch of malt. finish is good, i gulped 22 oz right down like a glass of water. | | | | Old Yale Sergeants IPA | 3.2 | manuchampions | | | 220z bottle from BC Liquor. Pours a clear golden with thin head. Aroma has good English hopping with little malt evident. Taste is grassy, pleasingly hoppy but certainly in an English style. Malt balances well but is hard to pick out specifically. A decent local effort but again geared less for the west coast IPA lover. It really does make me wish there were two different categories for the two different interpretations of IPA...one like this suffers when not compared only to similar English style offerings. | | 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 |
