Jose Marti

12 oz bottle. Difficult to date this but I have had it for quite some time. Pour is a dark chestnut brown with a creamy head with decent retention and lace. The nose here seems really quite green and fresh. Odd, considering both the style and the...

Cucumber Saison

Cucumber Saison

High, fluffy, large bubbled and wispy white head sits above a mid-orange, slightly clouded body. Nose has a light, floral element with some icy, apple notes. Clean. Tastes are much like the nose but with the floral element jacked-up, and a slightly...

Marrón Acidifié

Marrón Acidifié

750 mL capped bottle with the usual 'The Bruery' presentation. The pour produces a fairly highly carbonated (at first) body, with a mahogany-red color. The head is scant and produces no lace. There is a nice clarity about the body, and it settles...

Capricho Oscuro – Batch 2

Capricho Oscuro – Batch 2

12 oz bottle, many thanks go out to Steve for the chance to try this one. On the neck label the Batch # (2), and the bottle count (205/450) are noted. Pour is a dark, chestnut brown with quite a lot of sediment, a lovely rich, coffee colored head,...

Jai Alai IPA – Papaya

750 mL bottle as part of a care package from Joey at the brewery. Many thanks. Nothing on the label to suggest that this beer has Jai Alai as the base, but reading the reviews it apparently does. The label is attractive and it suggests a fruity,...

Capricho Oscuro – Batch 2

El Lector

32oz growler courtesy of Joey as part of a care package from the brewery. Beer pours a very cloudy, chocolate brown color with a very, very modest head. Lace is minimal. In stronger light the beer takes on more orange hues. Doesn’t look especially...

Maduro Oatmeal Brown Ale

Additional notes 04/11 This bottle straight from the brewery thanks to Joey. 1000x better. No infection issues here. A lovely, deep brown color with some decent head and retention. Not much lace, but still looks nice. Decent depth on the color too...

Improvisación Oatmeal Rye India-style Brown Ale

Improvisación Oatmeal Rye India-style Brown Ale

Given to me as a gift from a well-known bar owner. Many thanks. 750 mL capped bottle. Not really sure what a Oatmeal, Rye, India Brown Ale is, but ... Opening produces a HUGE gusher - not a trivial amount of beer lost, in fact around one third of...

Capricho Oscuro – Batch 2

Bolita Brown Double Nut Brown Ale

750 mL from Broudy's Liquors in St. Augustine. $8.99 for the capped, dimple-bottomed, thick brown glass bottle. Now under the name, "Bolita Double Brown Ale" (the "nut" part of the name is missing from this bottle). Impressive, dark chestnut brown...

Marshal Zhukov’s Imperial Stout

750 mL bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. OK, small hiss/fizz as the cap is prized off, in a moment you'll see why that detail is relevant. Pour gives a rich looking, thick, jet-black body with a few very dark brown highlights at the...

Jai Alai IPA

Original Notes 11/10 Drunk on numerous occasions on a recent trip to Jacksonville, FL, USA. This review is taken from one of the draft servings. High head sits a top the amber body and leaves some superb, sticky lace. The aroma and tastes match one...

Jai Alai Cedar Aged IPA – Humidor Series

750 mL capped bottle from a recent Jacksonville visit. Bottle label has the large "H" on the front as per a (newer) design than in the BA db picture. Pour is a hazy, clouded light orange with a lovely, thick and creamy head. The creamy nature of...

Capricho Oscuro – Batch 2

Sea Bass

750 mL capped bottle, part of a recent booty haul from Jacksonville, FL. Pour is a dark, dank looking reddish brown with some rocky, impressive looking head. LOTS of sticky lace too, a nice looking beer. Aromas and tastes match very well. There is...

Guava Grove Saison

Guava Grove Saison

750 mL capped bottled. Pour is a seriously hazed, butterscotch orange color with a persistent, thin film that sits atop the beer with some scant but pleasing lace. The nose has quite a lot of ethanoic acid and is sinus clearing. The tastes are very...

110K+OT Batch #3 – The Other West Coast IPA (2010)

Purchased as a 750 mL at Big Z beverages in New York. Delighted to find this at the time, but also seems silly that paperwork (apparently) has prevented us from getting this in GA. Shared this one at The Brick Store recently. Hazy, orange amber...
