This is a truly spectacular and muscular beer, warming like a duly spicy dark spirit and as decadently sweet and smooth as liquid vanilla ice cream. You can savor this now or bury to age like a fine wine – folks are still aging the first batch of ‘Ada… [...]
Spiced, sour and clean, this left of leftfield Italian brew is packed with a kitchen of off kilter ingredients. The unusual palate of flavors build to create a symphonic and classy drinking experience that is anything but the awkwardness you might expe… [...]

Stan made an interesting post today about an old book that he came across on google books. In it the author makes the case and gives direction for using potatoes in brewing beer. Anyone ever done it? I think I may see a small batch of potato port… [...]

A hefty brew by most standards, packing some seriously steroid induced hopage. On the palate this brew is bitter… and then bitter some more with a peppery, razor sharp bite and a mischievously sweet and enticing nose. Needless to say, this is not a b… [...]

Someone recently told me that Ralph McTell’s famous folk song “The Streets of London” was originally written about Paris. Well, all I can say is that neither London nor Paris has got anything on Nice for the number and variety of “street people”. The m… [...]
This ale opens with the pop of bitter citrus fruit before quickly and unexpectedly falling away to reveal a much softer and creamy dairy textured and tasting center. The finish is sweet and buttery and a little nutty. The unexpected dairy and sweet c… [...]
A robust Brown Ale possessing a slightly jagged, uneven bitterness. Thankfully the rough around the edges bite is rounded out by some welcome bready vanilla cake like flavors in the mid section. Finishing on a strong note, sweet caramel malt and yeasty… [...]
Singapore; the land of great food. Maybe the greatest diversity of food anywhere (per sq kilometer), but no place is perfect. Sadly there is a dearth of certain ethnic food varieties here; there is no Ethiopian, no Hawaiian, no Samoan, only okay Mexic… [...]
