Corked & Caged, 375 mL bottle. 2025 Vintage. I'm absolutely positive that I've had this on a least one other occasion, but no notes that I can find. Pretty, burgundy pour, decent head out of the bottle but it fades quickly. Little retention,...
375 mL corked and caged. GREAT to find a new, American beer that I might give a shit about, and that's not in a can, and in an traditional style. Hooray for Tröegs! Not surprised that it's taken a old-school brewer to pull us back toward normality....
375 mL bottle, corked and caged. Well, out of the gate this looks like a quad and not like a typical Dubbel - GOOD! So many Dubbels present as an ugly, dishwater, murky brown mess. Taking a dump in a glass would something that look better half the...
12 oz single from Kevin - many thanks. Different label than the one currently in the BA db picture. Good looking, hazed butterscotch pour with good depth of color but a wispy, ill-retained head and virtually no lace. Plenty of banana in the nose...
12 oz single. Nice deep brown/black body with plenty of high, mocha head. Head color is particularly pleasing. Roasty and dry in the nose and the roast continues in the initial tastes. Some light, teeth coating tannins come forth quickly with some...
22 oz bottle shared with a few at Cypress Pint & Plate, Atlanta, GA, USA. Pretty interesting beer this one, not really my cup of tea but a few extra things to report. Pour is an impressive, garnet one with nice clarity and a better head than one...
12 oz single bottle. Winter Warmer??? I thought it was more like an American IPA. Dark, mahogany pour with good clarity in the body. Head is small and clears quickly to give a thin, off-white collar and some film on the surface of the beer. Nose...
12 oz bottle as a single. Pour is very dark for a Belgian Pale of any description. Has a copper hue with (obviously) limited lace, head and retention. Film forms on the surface white a white collar. Nose has some serious sherry and liquor notes...
12 oz single. Some of these Scratch brews seem to be stylistically challenged which may be a function of the BA database or perhaps a function of the beer. Either way it could lead to some confusion and disappointment. This appears to be a coffee...
12 oz single bottle. Bright yellow body, fine sediment and creamy head and lace. Clouded. Pretty good representation of the style in terms of looks. Light clove in the nose with a touch of overripe banana. Taste replicates the nose but give a bit...
12 oz bottle. Hazy orange body sits underneath a white, bubbly head that forms quickly on top. A thin film is left on the beer as the pour settles. No lace in the Terrapin snifter. Nose and tastes are dominated by citrus hops. The rye takes a back...
Interesting since this beer ultimately drinks a little more like an English IPA than an American version. Nice lace form the 12 oz bottle into the 20 oz, Youngs (real) pint glass. Relatively light and subtle with good, orange color and mild...
Quite surprised that I haven't reviewed this before now. 12 oz bottle. Pour is classically clear and carbonated with great, golden color. Head is not hue, nor is it well retained or does it leave much lace. Initial Saaz bitterness is surprisingly...
12oz single. New label compared to the BA database. Very dark brown pour with plenty of head and some lace. Not much light passing through this one. Obviously a yeasty and malty nose. Taste reveals much more of the sweet nut character than the...
Thanks to BigLove as part of Blue Max BIF 48. 12 oz bottle poured into a regular 16 oz glass. Pale, golden orange with not much head but some nice sticky lacing. A little chill-haze. Clean and sharp in the taste with some lemony hops. Balanced with...
Thanks to Travis (BigLove) as part of Blue Max BIF 48. 12 oz bottle. Nice dark orange color with some impressive sticky lacing. Very unusual nose - a real floral, fruity mix with a combination of watermelon and marmalade. Unique and very...
Thanks to BeerBeing and SilentSabre. Good bitterness. Lots of oat character. Dark brown pour with a nice head and some good lacing. Real earthy character that revealed oatmeal charateristics. Significant cereal character in the nose, really nice....
=== Updated Review 02/08 === This vintage seems MUCH hoppier than my original review would suggest. VERY aggressive and less balanced than my tasting in 2006. Frankly I liked it much less than in 2006. === Original Review 08/06 === Thanks go out to...
Image is taken from a newer bottle in the summer of 2021. Not as malty and full as I was expecting or had been led to believe. A simple Doublebock with a low profile character in many respects, and an easy drinker. This is most definitely NOT a...
I'm not at all sure that I would classify this as a Belgian Strong Dark, in as much as its characteristics seem much more like an Old Ale or an American Barleywine. As expected, very little carbonation on the pour and a quick to form (and to...
