Whats In The Glass (commercial)

[Spork]

A good stout, but not a great one, IMO.
I know this style should be lightly carbed, but I'd have thought some head and some lacing would be OK. Only other (minor) complaint: I can taste the alcohol. Can't find the %abv, but (large) bot5tle is only 2.8 standard drinks, so I don't reckon it's really high. And with all the roasty stout flavours going on I would have thought they could hide all the boozey tastes. I'm getting a faint solventy aftertaste.
Not a bad drop, but @ $18 / bottle I won't be buying again.

I used to be the same. Thought wheat beers were pretty yuk.
I think Beermasons is largely responsible for my change in attitude as they tend to slip one or two good examples in each season.
I currently have my first hefe in the fermenter right now and I can't wait till it is bottled and ready to go.

Cheers

Sorry I can't give you the normal scenery but I'm sitting in a motel room that's been home for a couple of weeks now. I thought the only thing that could be worst would be drinking a wheat beer

Surprise, surprise I quite enjoyed this tonight......that or I've been away too long.

Don't tell Winkle or Stillscottish

Very nice, but definitely a sipper, not one to have more than one of.

Low carbonation, little to no hops in the bouquet or the palate. Initial complex dark caramel toffee flavour, which quickly changes to chocolate slightly roasty dark malts, leaving a dry finish.

Got this one in th BM winter pack. A Saison in winter? Warm enough today, and it's my b'day, so treating myself to a few special ones.
Made in California by "The Bruery". Brett... Sour, not quite lambic sour, but sour enough. Not my fave. style, but not a bad drop. Certainly refreshing. I had a nice Baltic Porter and a bottle of Chimay ready for tonight, but might be a bit warm for big beers. Will see how we go...

Can anyone let me know if it's possible to upload photos from iPhone into your reply to this thread?

If so, how?

I also had in draft in a pub near Masham. Was fantastic.
Has a bottle a week ago and was not so impressed. Was lacking something.

I imagine you still have to host the pic's somewhere. Photobucket, for example.

OMFG!
Having tried about 1/2 a dozen Moyan's beers, I was hesitant at the $20+ price tag.
Glad I got it. Awesome beer. Reminiscant of the Holgate Hopinator - but bigger. (and %9.2 abv)
Lovely, complex hoppy aromas. Pine and citrus, and I don't know what else (have had a couple of beers already today).
Big chewey mouthfeel. Massive hop flavours, but enough sweet malts to balance them.
Bottle says it uses fresh Tomahawk, Chinook and Anthanum (never even heard of that one) hops.
This is possibly the most delicious AIPA I've had. Think Sierra Nevada Torpedo with boots on!
Yum.

Did you get that from Crown Cellars?

 

[MitchyP]

I just wanted to post a picture of a 2L growled of Lobethal Bierhaus double hopped IPA I have chilling in the fridge.

If you love your hops, you'll love this. Like someone shoved a hop cluster down your throat!

Stopped off there and had 4 pints of it before my wedding last year. Needless to say, I got married

 

[Spork]

Did you get that from Crown Cellars?

Sure did. Every time I "finish" everything they have - they get a new batch of beers I haven't tried yet.
I know Lonny has other bottle shops with a decent range, but the guys @ CC have a passion for beer. They respect it and treat it well. I seldom go anywhere else.

 

[Spork]

Introduced the boy to Chimay. He enjoyed it, as did I.
Should have opened a bottle of 3 Muskateers Baltic Porter next, but I had this instead:

Pretty ordinary really.
Guess it's not too late for the "good one"...

 

[yum beer]

Cracked this after work this arvo...

lokks and smells nothing special, but a mouthfull of complex flavours, malts and grain, light dirty hops, the bottle says toffee and vanilla,
I wont argue...not an outstanding beer but very enjoyable and leaves puddles on the local megaswill and a lot of micros as well...

well worth the visit.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I'm holidaying on a resort island ner Singapore & managed to track down a can of ABC foreign extra stout at a bar where the only beer they have on tap is carlsberg. Pretty ******* delicious after a week of cocktails. No photo unfortunately the wi-fi here is temperamental.

 

[Fat Bastard]

Just the ticket after work!

 

[keifer33]

Just enjoying a Feral Karma Citra at home! Mane Liqours new idea is pretty cool to order in fresh kegs and bottle fill from there. Thus batch was kegged on Thursday so nice and fresh.

 

[MitchyP]

I'm keen to crack the 2L growler bottle of double hopped Lobethal Bierhaus IPA I have in the fridge ATM.

If I only want to have to one pint from it tonight, will it seal again sufficiently, and how long will I have to drink it before it goes flat etc?

 

[Muggus]

I wish this was in my glass :icon_drool2:

anyone want to go halves in a pack ?

$320 + shipping <_<


http://shop.belgianshop.com/acatalog/info_1_PB230911.html

or might just bag one and cellar over six years

Hmm I smell a rat. If you've ever seen the authentic bottle and glass, you'll note they don't look like that. And I don't see monks changing their way with new packaging...or any for that matter....


Exhibit A: Bottled I shared last year

 

[vykuza]

It;'s legit (well, the beer pack is legit, I can't speak for the website). Westvleteren are doing some reconstruction, so are flogging 93,000 of these cubes to fund it.

Don't pay $300 for it though, the shops are only charging 25 euros!

Oh and Muggus, the glasses have changed about 3 times so far I can tell. Google Image Search Westvleteren Glass and see the different styles and logos. I think the glasses you have there have only been around for 6-8 years or so.

Oh man I had a few of them suckers when I was in the UK, So good! If I remember right they get better as they get to about 10deg or so?

Schneider Nelson Sauvin weizenstarkbier.


This is more understated than Hopfenweisse and they serve it in wine glasses at the Weisses Brauhaus. Enjoyable beer, although I did miss the more aggressive hop character of the Hopfenweisse.

 

[glennheinzel]

On to Vienna and I had a Mrzen (+Vienna schnitzel) at 7 Stern Brau which they brew on the premises.


This beer was amazing. It had the malty background that you'd expect from this style, however it had great hop presence. I could've (and should've) drank it all night long. Their Helles was nice and the Bamberger was okay. I also tried Sitegl zwickle (it was okay) and a couple of other beers in a nearby bar.

Also, I had a quick look in an Aussie pub (still in Vienna) and they had LCPA + other beers. I also found that they had Kakadu Red Zwickle! I must look for that next time in the Kakadu.... <_<

I also had a brilliant schnitzel at Figlmullers (which is supposed to be Vienna's most famous schnitzel). The schnitzel was pretty good and big, but what really made them was the potato salad that it came with. Creamy with a hint of mustard (if I remember correctly).

Here's a pic of the schnitzel which overflowed the edge of the plate (with my hand for further size guidance).

 

[glennheinzel]

And a few other beers that I've tried this year...







The most notable beer being Monsieur Rock which is a collaboration brew between Sharps brewery and Jean-Marie Rock, brewmaster at Orval Brewery. The beer was a touch overcarbonated, but then settled down nicely with nice Saaz character. I could probably drink it by the pint.

 

[Fish13]

Currently finishing off a carton of James Squire Amber Ale i bought over a month ago. Its not as nice i remember.....

How freaking clear is that beer!!!!!!!!!!!! What did it taste like?

 

[Silo Ted]

Dunno about that. There was a run recently of boxed Chimay 750mL single bottled, bundled with a (German made) Chimay glass.

Marketing knows no god.
