Wow... no tastings yet!

Ok..

Choppadoo's FES:

Just another warning to those who haven't checked the wiki, it is overcarbonated! I suggest the use of a sink. I didn't chill it down enough though so it may not be as bad for others.

This is possibly the blackest stout I've seen, looks like some sort of crude oil with a dark brown head. Fruity aroma, fruity flavour comes through when it warms up a little. The roast is there but it's not mouth-puckeringly dry (Guinness must die!) so I am a happy chappy. Nice, warming finish and now I'm three quarters through the longneck, I'm floating

Cheers.

Well I finally plucked up the courage to try a case beer tonight.
Dear father forgive me, for I have sinned. It has been nearly four whole days since my last beer.

Cracked a bottle of Domonsura's chocolate soldier, I would call it chocolate overload. The wife does not normally like beer but thought Dom's was up there. Seriously though I did like it. Not a session beer by any means but for the megaswill drinkers that I have around here it would be something different for their tatse buds. For some reason I still have two to go

BYB

 

[Adamt]

Just realised "The Hollowmen" was starting tonight, so I felt compelled to to crack anothery. "Can I just grab a pen?" Classic!

BenH's Alt

Never had an alt before... wanted to try some at ANAWBS last year, but they were all consumed by naughty people whilst the massive APA category (which I diligently stewarded) was still being tasted. <_<

Wasn't in the fridge but it's cold enough anyway! Poured a brilliant, dark amber. Sitting with a nice tight head. Aroma is a bit yeasty and of sweet malt. Flavour is mildly sweet malt, mild bitterness and otherwise clean.

Delicious, but I think I consumed the beers in the wrong order. My excuse is; I didn't intend to have anothery

Cheers

 

[drsmurto]

Sorry peeps. Been crook as a dog since late Monday and only dropped into work to give the boss the 2 finger salute and pack up my desk. Dont have the Hobgoblin recipe on me but from memory it had double the black and choc malt of Andys and was finished with fuggles and styrians. If you cant get styrians try green bullet or the kiwi styrians. EKG is nice but nothing like styrians. It also had a plug of styrians in the keg......

Off home back to bed, the case swap clearly broke me. I am off to the yorke peninsula on friday for the weekend so will take the case with me and try a few and get back to you.

 

[drsmurto]

In addition to the recipe ideas i listed for my hobgoblin i used 1187 ringwood yeast. Mashed at 68.

 

[homekegger1]

Not Sure what the hell is going on, but I too have been crook as a dog all week. Still not feeling the best. Damn flu. Must have been going around at the swap. Thanks BYB.

I am no expert so my thoughts on everyones beers will be simple and to the point. For what I like. As they say IMHO!!!

Ok last night I tried the Choc Soldier. A nice beer to drink. Could see it being a good session beer. Although I was a little surprised how little I could taste the chocolate after the way BYB spoke it up. Could taste a little choc but not over powering. Could the the blocked sinus' messing with my taste buds. All in all a good beer I would happily drink again.

Just about to crack the duffelcoat and the hobgoblin rocket fuel. I will report later on those.

Cheers

[BenH]

Hope the duffelcoat keeps you warm...

 

[homekegger1]

Hope the duffelcoat keeps you warm...

Absolute beaut, to start on for a Friday night. Had to go and check my case to see if I might have been lucky enough to score 2. I wasn't :angry:

Mate what a top beer. This is very nice. The flavour was not to much at all and it left me wanting more. Again I must say I have a blocked head, but I really enjoyed this beer. Had a nice bitterness on the back of the tongue. Well done. I hope you post the recipe. Would love to give this one a go myself.

Cheers

I'm gonna hit my chocolate soldier in an hour or so I think!

Does that sound kinky to you?
