+1....... you dont post a beer like that and not give a bit of a story on how it was!

cheers
 
Ok breakdown on the Stout. Similar taste to the tap version with strong malt flavors of coffee, chocolate and smoke and also on the side a slight aniseed taste. Also a hint of oak that complemented all the flavors.The mouth feel was thick and creamy almost syrup like. This beer actually lasted a long time in the glass as every sip was an explosion of flavor that lingered on the taste buds. Bitterness very low.
ALC 8.5%
To sum it up WOW!

I was Lucky to get this as it was the last bottle left at the Wheatie. Also all bottles are numbered and you send in a card to Moorilla Cellar Door and you have first pick at the same number next year. Just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Cheers :beer:

Not one of my beers but one of the best beers ive tried in a while

POL's Munich Lager from the NSW case swap.

Y.U.M

Also showing off a nice glass that just turned up all the way from belgium. I also got a fantastic old Leffe glass but broke it thismorning while cleaning it. never even got to use it :angry:

The glass has "Pauwel Kwak" on it which means nothing to me but i saw it on evilbay and had to have it.

Tops glass to drink from. But its paper thin glass (like the Leffe one was) so i will be very very careful with it.

Its kind of like a mini yard glass.......... but schooner sized. You have to tip it right up to get the last bit out......... which is scary :)

cheers

PS....... 3 angles, couldnt pic a fav one so you get all 3

Nice glass mate! Kwak is a really good Belgium beer, they have it at some Belgian Beer cafes, youre supposed to get a wooden stand with that glass :huh:
 
it was second hand so it was probably like a glass fron an AHB sydney pub crawl :lol:

Geez Tony, that's a damn fine looking beer and glass. Kwak is my all time favourite Belgian Pale Ale (review here). If you ever come across this beer, try it. It's well worth the money.

ps. Try to make some sort of stand for the glass - it looks pretty precarious as it is. You don't want to accidentally break that beauty.

I found this blog thing about a guy making a light box to take pickies of his beer.
Nice results ...

linky

I am soooo procrastinating ... I sosoo doo not want to bottle!
 
I just make sure there is natural light (afternoon low sun is best) behind the beer, no direct sun shining on the lense and take a few at different angles. Wipe the glass off to show of the clarity and Never ever used flash on a cold glass. It makes it look like milk!

For that "sunshine in the glass" look put it in the sunshine late in the arvo as the sun is getting very low. get at about 120 deg looking at the beer with the sun behind it if you know what i mean. you will see the glittering deep sunlight peak through the beer........

And snap

cheers
 
Ah , Brisvegas in winter - sunny and 23 C.

corn or rice mate

Just cooled a mash with 22% corn. One ive made before and it sme3lls fantastic!

I love CAP.

mine is 1.058, 42 IBU with Saphire at FWH and flame out and cluster bittering (im a traditionalist)

I love the sweetness the corn gives the beer and mix that with a firm bitterness........... you have bliss!

Great looking beers

cheers
 
corn or rice mate

Jamine rice, mate 10% - its a bit "sharper" and drier than corn. Highly drinkable though many would prefer the corn.
 
My 2nd AG, A Belgian Pale Ale. Best beer out of the Rosscrowther Brauhaus.
Apologies for the dodgy focus.. will take a better pic

Nice looking BPA mate........... thought i would quote myself here with some advice on a pic to make your beer look tops.

late arvo, sunlight through the glass at an angle!

shows off the colour wonderfully

your focus was good......... the flash reflecting off the cool galss killed the moment

nice glass too :)

cheers
