Hi, Shocking form. The dollar heads skyward, so the importers slow the stream. Wankers. We should be drinking Euro/American brews cheaper than Australian brews right now. I'm so sick of being screwed over by people. My whole business life is just me getting rorted by people. Cheers, Nik

Jan Wolfhouse: So yeah, I heard you got fired from the brewery?
Landfill: God damn brewery! You know that brewery makes 10,000 bottles of beer a day. I drink 45 of them, and I'm the *******!

I have no idea why you have sludge in a glass, nor why you would have what looks like a hammer on your stove.

[Richo]

flying dog - gonzo (Imperial Porter) - http://www.flyingdog...alty-Gonzo.aspx Bit of carbonation, more than I expected Warmth from the % smells of golden syrup back when it was in tins/cans little bit of chocolate smell (not much, shove your nose in and take a big wiff and you will smell it) sweatness little bit of smokeyness (very small amount, but as you know its not a flavour I overly enjoy so I notice it alot) Its dark, rich and thick. Bit of bitter comming in too. Its not a bad drink, but I'm not sure I would get it again. something to be had with a meaty meal or to sip on slowly for a while PS, they have cool little 250ml bottles. I know that can be the normal for EU stuff, but these bottles are just like 330/350ml bottles, only smaller.

brasserie dieu du ciel - Aphrodisiaque (cocoa and vanilla stout) Interesting lable 341ml ?? which is just odd pours like chocolate syrup almost no carbonation what head formed was very small bubbles, but isn't all that dark and didn't last at all smells of chocy and vanilla (who would have thunk it), very sweet, not burnt Does not have all that much flavour.. It might be too cold. I'll sip it slowly and see how it goes..

[Richo]

mmm, im 3/4 of the way through and it is too much. its becomming sickly sweet. Give it a miss

Brasserie dieu du ciel - rosee hibiscus

strong wheat beer brewed with spices and hibiscus flowers (i kid you not)

Poppoed the top and it smelt very sweet and like it has cascade hops (or other very floral/fruity hop)
Pours the same colour as the cherrys used in black forrest cake
No head (I really wasn't paying attention so i expected it to overflow)

little bit of citrus smell
Very sweet smelling


*few sip and 20 mins pass*

....... this is shit

slight wheat beer taste but I don't know what crack this person was on when thinking it would be good (or me for buying it I guess)
The after taste (well, not really after taste..) has this dry planty i should not be eating this kinda thing going on, kinda like Nasturtiums

Give this one a WIDE berth. I tried it so you don't need to

[Richo]

Rouge Juniper Pale Ale its ok Not much smell to it really Bitter (but nice) Its a little plain. I was thinking golding hops being used, checked the website and bam, score (although it also has amarilo)

Hi, Shame about the dieu du ciel, they probably helped you break your record. Cheers, Nik
