Last night - a number 4 with an underline. Pretty much what everyone has been saying about this. Bloody brilliant. Wish I had more

Tonight's first study beer - Luggy's Irish ale. Looks - good, deep deep red. Good head that stays around as long as it needs to. Nice haze. Smells - like a great example of an Irish ale. Taste - good. Very nice and simple beer, as noted in your grain bill. Thoroughly enjoyable, good...

After letting it warm up a bit more hop came through. This was actually quite enjoyable. Solid effort!

First beer of the evening was Natdene's black IPA. Nice beer, dark malts aren't too forward but I think I'm used to more hop in a black IPA. Tastes great but I will let it sit while I do the washing up and see what some warmth does

Last one for the night - 16 - bens rice lager. The lemongrass comes through at a nice level on the aroma. Minimal pepper but it's there. Pours well, good head and some lacing as it fades. Get more of the pepper and lemongrass on the back end of the taste but they're definitely not overpowering...

Tonight's offerings: Yee IPA - pours well, good solid head. Good colour. Smell - unfortunately lacking a lot of hop aroma, I'm not sure what sort of IPA this was supposed to be? Taste - bitter hops, no aromatic or flavour hops. Feedback - try whirlpool/steeps with big aromatic hops post...

No. 17 - Brewkid?'s Oatmeal Stout - finally have the perfect dinner to go with this, smoked pulled beef and rice. Pours well, good head quick to fade with some lacing still hanging around. Smell - roasted malts, dark malts, brilliant. My sense of smell is currently ****** by a cold but what I...

No. 6 - Parks Coffee Stout - pours low carbonation, minimum head. Looks a nice colour Smell - espresso, roast, a little chocolate. Rich coffee. Love it Taste - see smell Overall - a little more carbonation. But overall nice to drink and enjoyable in this **** of a season called winter. 7/10

No. 21 Radshoes vanilla mocha porter - pours dark, some head but it fades quickly. Leaves a thin ring of head. Love it Smell - a little bit of everything the name suggests. Dark malts, a touch of vanilla, some chocolate, a little coffee. Taste - roast up front, a bit of vanilla lingering in...

Tasting now - no. 8, I believe mocha porter or something On the nose - a good bit each of coffee and chocolate with a hint of roast in the background. More toward fresh roasted coffee than the chocolate As others have said, minimal head. I snapped the and halfway through the review it has gone...

24 - Screamadelica's Belgian IPA I'm on the same opinion with Earle on this one. Great beer, not what id call a true Belgian IPA (a-la Flying Dog's Raging *****) but it's definitely a nice beer. Good Belgian yeast character, nice malt sweetness without being overpowering. Something tells me...

10 - Seehuusen American Wheat IPA - Citric American hop on the nose with a faint wheat backbone. Pours well, very well carbonated. Head hangs around for a while. Colour is beautiful, golden brown. Taste - not as hoppy as the smell, but it's got some hop presence. Light citrus, some malt...

Two reviews 1. Earle's Hoppy Hefe - great beer, very intriguing. At first I thought I got a trace of banana but it became apparent later on that it was mango. Very clean, balanced hop bitterness. 2. No. 2 Ciderman's Rye IPA - colour is gorgeous, a deep copper, almost brown. Very murky which is...

19 - Fattox - Imperial Dark Lager - bottle carbing, only bottled Thursday and it finished at 9% so probably wait until after Christmas time. Time will only do it favours. Also the yeast used is the Yeast Bay Franconian Dark Lager, if anyone wants to culture that one up its a good solid strain...

Glad I went a lower ABV 7-8% dark lager instead of bringing the quad I just bottled at a hefty 11%. Pitched my starter about 5 days ago now, fermentation is cranking along nicely. Just a question now of how long it will get to lager as we're moving house this weekend! First sample tasted good...

I currently have on hand a vial each of hessian pils, Brett amalgamation, farmhouse sour, Franconian dark lager and melange. Going to do a small batch sour in my spare glass fermenter to see how it goes

Where are you based Menoetes? I'm free to spare a biab setup for a day over a weekend in Toowoomba. Also lock me in for an imperial dark lager, I have a lager yeast to try out

I'm thinking imperial dark lager or German pils or something sour. Let me think about it

Hey mate can I put my name in for this? I can come with benken and beer suit
