Beers – 2014 to 31/12/2017
Innate Brewing – Donald Grump – It’s a brown ale and I think I can taste actual brown malt. Not much mouthfeel and a big head on pour that died down . Smell is light coffee but mainly malt, darker malts, very malty and not any noticeable hops or hops bitterness.
Mash Brewing – Copycat IPA – A Good American style IPA.
Brasserie Belle-Vue – Belle-Vue Kriek – Nice, a good cherry taste without the artifical flavour that comes with many cherry krieks and cherry beers in general.
Two Birds – Taco Beer. A Wheat Ale. This was…like a less…less something Saison? It was easy drinking, maybe the spicing/flavouring made me think Saison, coriander like a Saison, lime for some sourness, also brewed with some corn for the Mexican/taco thing??. It was nice, not a taco, I was expecting some kind of spicy hotness I guess. Good beer, would drink again.
Newcastle – Brown Ale. This is nice and once again a UK sessional beer. Malty, nice, nothing too exciting. I just read the word “legacy brew” and I think this is something a lot of normal/standard/sessional UK beers are. Its a style thats for drinking at a pub when you want a beer, not some craft, modern, interesting or over flavoured or whatever…
Oskar Blues – Hotbox Coffee Porter. This was good but may have to get another as I dont remember too much about it [writing this weeks later…]. I do remember it was dark, malty, coffee in a very raw way.
Mornington Peninsula – Nitro Sacchariferous Stout. This is Tinnage 006. A really nice milk stout with that great nitro carbonation.Little bit sweet, nice malt bitterness and a dark thick head.
Nail – Huge Dunn Imperial Brown Ale. Good and probably reviewed elsewhere on here.
Has a lot of dark malt bitterness, and a sourness to it I sometimes notice with darker beers. It could be considered watery but it is an Ale, not a Stout or something, and this doesnt come across as a problem as I drink this pint. Its very nice, I could have another where many darker beers one would be heavy, too strong, and enough.
Served at the Belgian Beer Cafe.
