Sorry if already mentioned, Give KINGFISHER (may have a C in it somewhere cant remember got me tanked) Indonesian i think.. very surprising! Also Tooheys have a premium - Black label ( i think it's called premium) 6.2% nice drop triple filtered. My home brew ready Friday... First lot, may be a fine drop may be a dang flop.

$34 beer http://www.mikkeller...r_id=120&land=1 I started this off far far far too cold. It had chocolate and coffee flavors to start, but that was it. I was a little disapointed... until it warmed up a litte. Choc, coffee and dark fruit/raisns (maybe). It was really really enjoyable, but not $34 enjoyable. edit: does not seem to be enough writing.. Its hard to write down the feeling of this beer. It was smooth and almost creamy, but at the same time you relly knew the 11.99% was there with sweetness, but you didn't notice it at the same time... yeah

Lastest Mikkeller I have had "American Dream"

http://www.mikkeller...r_id=128&land=1



Get Brewdogs' 77 larger. Slightly better, very similar. Mouth feel isn't as insane on this one

It has a strong hop aroma and supprising amount of bitter on the after taste.. like its really late (does that make sense ?)

Warm slightly humid day with friends in the sun, thise beer would rock \m/



ps, im slightly tispys.. mmm saison dupont and a couple of matso ginger beers

[Richo]

He has his moments Dad: *reading the bottle* "You sure come up with some interesting ones" Mum: *reading the bottle later* "Do you try these before you buy them ?"

[skillionaire]

Hi, Just take a little sip before making the purchase? Cheers, Nik

[Richo]

Latest buy - Mikkeller single hopped IPA's (just missing (I think this is all of them) Nelson, Amarillo and simco which I have already had) - Centennial, Chinook, Tomahawk, East Kent Golding and Cascade. Last one is a Cream Ale, nfi...



Right now I'm having the Centennial. Not an amazing smell, but packs a heap of flavour and a heap of bitter. Theres a good malt going on there too.

[edit: I'm missing Warrior and Nugget. I have never heard of nugget.)

holy cow, tomahawk is one bitter mofo

[Richo]

East Kent Golding - Not much arroma to be honest. Its a little bitter and the overall flavour reminds me of things like organic ales

[Richo]

Chinook, good balance between bitter and arroma. Would I be wrong in noticeing grassy...ness ? (pine ?)

Picked up Tokyo, 5am saint and hardcore ipa

[skillionaire]

Hi, I've got my Tokyo's put aside. Haven't had a beer in so long. Should be quite the insanity drink. Cheers, Nik

[Richo]

Interestingly, ibs were only allowed a small amount of the hardcore, yet tokyo they have a heap of

[skillionaire]

Hi, They have brewed more and more Tokyo, so it's not the ridiculous low volume release. Cheers, Nik

[Richo]

I'm digging hardcore IPA.. I didn't at first. I was a bit disapointed thinking it was kinda "just another IPA" Its not an extreme beer or anything, just really nice. 9% is comming across as sweetness, and warmth in the belly. Nothing boozy from a smell or tasted PoV Really hoppy arroma. Very fruity aroma (pineapple/trpical fruits). Little bit of the % and malt smells too, but dominated by the hops A little bit of that come through in the taste, but the bitter is dominant (in a nice way, not bondage dominance) Interestingly (to me atleast) the flavour has stayed fairly much the same though out the beverage disapointed to in 330ml

5am saint, not a bad beer at all, but I wouldn't bother with it unless you happened to see it.
