Always happy to run into a new Westbrook beer, and an (apparent) combination of an Oatmeal and Milk Stout at 5.5% is more intriguing than most. Not sure if Ed is trying to christen a new style or just combining the best elements of both. Dark...
Before purchasing the Beer Camp 12 pack, I was pretty sure that the beer that I would like least would be this one. It turned out that it was the one that I enjoyed the most, and by quite some distance. It should be noted that is not a commentary...
12 oz single from Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. Pour is a standard black body with some initially good head but the retention is not great. Lace is minimal, but we do get a ring on the surface of the beer. Light roast greets the nose and...
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...
12 oz single. Amazed at how light the pour on this is. No hint of any kind of blackness from a typical stout, rather the body is akin to a red or amber ale and lacks depth in the look. Head is minimal. Actually looks like cold tea. Nose has a...
12 oz bottle, thanks to Grant for the chance to try this one. Jet black body but the head is rather poor and somewhat white in color. Retention is not great either and of course, neither is the lace. Some spotty film on the surface of the beer. I...
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...
22 oz bomber received as an extra from Brad007. This turned up in a package on Wednesday and darn me if I don't go to Green's on the Friday and see a six pack of the stuff freshly arrived as a new entrant to the GA market. Shared this one with the...
12oz single, possibly left over from the CEO/Old Farts BIF - if so, thanks Vancer. Black pour into the sampler glass with some orange/red highlights in the bottom of the glass. Head and (sparce) lace are bone white. Thin body and non-descript nose....
Picked this up as a 12 oz single from Trader Joe's. Nice looking pour with a high, mocha colored head, but relatively poor retention and not much lace. Very good dark brown body with some sharp, garnet highlights. When the head has gone the beer...
12oz single - part of a recent trade. Thanks. Dark, dark brown body with very little head and no lace. A few reddish brown highlights near the bottom of the glass. A bit flat in the glass, not much life. A nice, rich alcohol in the nose. A little...
Thanks to Simon for the opportunity. Haven't really got a clue what was going on here. The beer opened with a mighty "pop" which sounded promising, but unfortunately that was the best of the experience. Poured a dark brown, porter-like color which...
500 mL bottle, Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. Dark, dark brown body with some slightly lighter brown highlights and the extreme edges. Initial head fades to gives a small film on the surface. Very nice beady and cereal based nose in...
12 oz single, Mac's downtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Having had the 05-06 Winter offering and really enjoyed it, I was keen to get hold of this. Not my favorite style, so I was equally delighted to find it as a single at Mac's (saved me buying the full...
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....
12oz stubbie bottle bought as a single at Riverside Beverage, Chattanooga, TN, USA. Appearance is EXACTLY like a Coke. Same black body with some brown highlights. ZERO head or lacing and a little bit of constant carbonation. Nose has a little...
Well I suppose it depends on what you are looking for, or indeed expecting. This is a decent beer in terms of appearance, aroma and taste, but it falls hopelessly short on mouthfeel for the style, and to be honest if you take style into account for...
Dark brown body with some attractive ruby red highlights at the bottom of the glass. Decent if somewhat small tan head, and a little lacing but not very significant. Very thin body and a weak mouthfeel. Aroma is farily non-descript with a little...
Really enjoyed this brew. Standard dark pour with a nice looking, bubbly tan head. I allowed it to warm significantly before tucking in. Roasted flavors, but very, very light and therefore super-drinkable. The mouthfeel was thinner than expected,...
A work of art. This is a beer that is very unusual in its ability to stay perfectly within style (and be classic example of the genre), and at the same time be able to transcend the style and have a huge appeal even to those who do not especially...
Pictured 07/13/23 Original notes 02/07/04 550 mL clear bottle, Arbor Beverage Depot, Douglasville, GA. $3.99. Jet black, and pours with a beautiful frothy, thick head. The head is almost a strawberry blond in color and is persistent. The overall...
This is clearly a quality product, but you really need to be a solid stout fan to enjoy and appreciate it fully. I'm not a huge fan of stout in general, and as a result my scores may be a little on the low side. Regardless of that this is one hell...
