Well, Dale's, and perhaps more accurately Oskar Blues, is such an extraordinarily well-established brand in (relatively) contemporary US brewing, that a certain degree of reverence is required here even before one opens the can. The pour is much...
12 oz can. This has been on shelves for around $20 a for pack, and I'm not remotely interested at that price, but a single can, even at $3.25 pulls me in - I blame you, Norm! Quite what an 'Irish Porter' is I don't know, but I'll ignore that for...
32 oz growler from Hop City rather than a can from the 16 oz, tallboy 4-packs. Official word on the beer from Oskar Blues. Shiny copper colored pour with some decent white, sticky lace. Nicely put together as expected, with requisite lace for an...
Resisted the temptation to buy a $15+ four pack of this for a few weeks and went with a single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. 12 oz can, the usual OB presentation. Can cracks with a somewhat disappointing (but expected) lack of pop, but given the...
"Kids are different today I hear every mother say....", not sure if this was inspired by the Rolling Stones but it certainly feels that way. $1.50 as a single from Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. A new entrant to the ATL market just in time...
On tap at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. Small (perhaps 10 oz) pour with a jet black body and a quite large (for the serving), dense mocha head. It's worth while saying at the outset that I am not especially keen on the Bourbon aged brews. I...
$4.25 for a 16 oz pour at Taco Mac, Winward location, Alpharetta, GA. Typical North American macro looking pour with some thin lace. Pretty clean beer with a little residual sweetness and a smooth mouthfeel, but very little in terms of taste. Very...
On-tap at the Brick Store, Atlanta, GA, USA. Dark orange/brown pour with great head and lacing. BIG hoppy nose that is reminiscent of the standard Gordon fare. Extremely smooth vanilla and bourbon finish which is the only hint of change from the...
Billed as "Big Poppa Cherry Stout" at the Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. $6.00 for small sevring - still very good value. Let me start by saying a couple of things. I didn't think I would like this a great deal and at the same time, one of these is...
Pictured July 2025, cellared can Original Notes 01/16/07 On tap, The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. $6.00 The beer arrived in a thistle type glass, as black as night and with about a quarter of an inch of dark, mocha colored, highly pitted, dense...
Updated notes 05/28/22 Slightly redesigned can (pictured) from the original from 16 years ago, and most interesting to note that the hoppy nature of this American Pale Ale is now highlighted. It’s always been the case, and Dale’s has always been...
Very good looking beer, with deep, deep browns and reds making up the body, a small but nice head and then some serious, sticky and persistent lacing. Hops dominante the aroma, but the taste is not as bitterly hoppy as the aroma suggests. Quite...
Very nice. Amazing dark brown, ruby red highlighted beer, with a thick and bubbly head and some significant, sticky, persistent lacing. Chocolate, smoky malts appear in the nose, and are intensified in the initial tastes. Alcohol begins to...
