The beer made with the alder wood smoke. and not the beech wood malt, and the brewery says that imparts a slightly less strong and aggressive smoke element, and I would be inclined to agree. Pour is as expected for a "normal" Schwarz, with that...
22 oz bottle, $4.99 from Smyrna Beverage World, Smyrna, GA, USA. Black pour with an attractive, pitted, mocha colored head that is light and bubbly. Looks nice. Nice is a somewhat neutral malty sweetness, even when warmed slightly. The initial...
Thanks go out to Kevin (again). 16 oz bottle in the usual Sprecher presentation. The beer pours a solid black pour with a nice, creamy head and some superb red highlights. The lacing is not great. Still looks good though. The nose changes with...
The usual Avery presentation with gold foil on the neck. Glad to see the Avery Anniversary series come back to Atlanta after the very strange omission of sixteen after we've had the others. Dry Hopped Black Lager. Pour is at first glance a solid...
Silly name. 22 oz bottle in the usual Rogue presentation from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Jet black pour but without a significant head or lace. The hop nose and hop tastes are surprisingly reserved for Rogue, but at the same time too large for the...
A surprise package at the Douglasville Taco Mac, Douglasville, GA, USA. Pour appears to be a brown affair with some reddish highlights and a white cap. Head fades quickly and lace is minimal. This was described to me as a Winter Ale, is in the BA...
Purchased from The Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg, VA, USA. Notch on the back label has the "06" cut out! Old? Difficult to tell to be honest. Poured with a decent amount of mocha colored head and a surprisingly reddish body. It looks good but under no...
$1.99, 500 mL bottle, Cheers, Carrollton, GA, USA Brown Ale type pour with a decent head - not much lacing. Brown and garnet highlights, a little less black than some in the style. Has some sweet malt characteristics and finish with a little...
12 oz single, Mac's downtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. I wasn't expecting much from this beer, since my experience with Shiner has been average at best but its often worth persisting with this kind of brewer. Nice loud pour with a pretty lively head and...
Well I wasn't expecting much but I was really rather pleasantly surprised. Nice, small rocky head on top of the dark mahogony body with some above average lacing. Sweet malty nose. Nice mild and creamy aftertaste, with sweetness and plenty to...
$2.49 bottle, Atlantic Wine, Atlanta, GA, USA. Typical red-brown, Coke like appearance with a decent head and a little lacing. Chocolate malt overtones are big, as is the mouthfeel - surprisingly so for the style I thought. Nicely smoothed out,...
Not surprisingly, a very average experience to say the least. Fairly weak offering from Matt. Lots of mild acidic notes and a distinct lack of body make up this beer. Thin mouthfeel with a mildly odd plastic taste. Pours decent, but it is ruby red...
Very nice, and very surprised at how much I enjoyed this. To all intents and purposes this acts, looks and drinks like a Porter. Cartainly a thin one, but nevertheless still has some smokiness, some chocolate, some creamy smoothness and a nice...
Brown/black pour with a head that quickly turns to a spotty cream on the surface of the beer and some minimal lacing. A little sweet rounded coffee in the nose, but also a very sweet sensation in the aroma and the up-front tastes. I would describe...
$1.49 per bottle as part of mixed Six-Pack, World Market, Marietta, GA, USA. Unfortunately the initial experience of this beer was the aroma that was unpleasant! A real stinky, vomit type smell! You know the one, that horrendous Hersey's...
