Komes Imperial Amber Ale

Komes Imperial
Amber Ale

Dirty brown pour, this is not very attractive. On the plus side, the head is good, decent retention and some lovely lace. The odd things about all of that is that this beer, like the Raspberry Porter, also gives a light, fizzy, soda like note in...

Ommegang 25th Anniversary Ale

Ommegang
25th Anniversary Ale

I've been complaining a lot about Ommegang lately, and here's an example of why. In a nutshell, the brewery has hopelessly lost their way in terms of moving away from focussing solely on the greatness of their past, and of late producing a bunch of...

Shark Attack Double Red Ale

Shark Attack Double Red Ale

22oz bottle, Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. Very typical for the style, a cloudy and turbid brown soup like affair with some big, rocky, pitted, off-white head and lace. Retention is not great. It's a bit of an ugly looking beer for...
