Very cloudy due to transit so left it to settle for a few days, then a few days more, then some more. Eventually cracked it open on 3rd August. Very lively so a little too much sugar in the bottle for the amount being fermented. Poured easily enough into the glass but any head formation died away within a few seconds. Colour was ruby in the glass. Smell was slightly tart maybe strawberry or raspberry. Good part of fizz in ... critique Tue, 04 Aug 2009 19:05:17 GMT http://brewexchange.forumotion.com/critique-f5/stressed-dada-batemans-xxxb-t25.htm#100 http://brewexchange.forumotion.com/critique-f5/stressed-dada-batemans-xxxb-t25.htm http://brewexchange.forumotion.com/critique-f5/tangos-chocolate-porter-t23.htm Stressed Dada Received this in the post via a jiffy bag. The jiffy bag had split at the bottom so was lucky I dont have a sneaky postman who likes beer. I think that this beer was kegged, but not too sure, Tango to advise, so the concept of decanting and priming with sugar into a bottle is new to me. The beer was pleasantly fizzy, but any head I created with the pour disappeared within seconds. The taste of the beer was quite nice, you could definately taste the overtures of chocolate, there was a ... critique Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:36:08 GMT http://brewexchange.forumotion.com/critique-f5/tangos-chocolate-porter-t23.htm#94 http://brewexchange.forumotion.com/critique-f5/tangos-chocolate-porter-t23.htm http://brewexchange.forumotion.com/critique-f5/chris_reboot-s-old-perculier-clone-t22.htm CyberPaddy66 Sorry for all those who wanted THIS but Chris offered it to me 1st as I didn't have anything on the go at all following a bout in hospital. I'll make sure to send you a bottle of my 1st AG when I get it going (stuff ordered, in stock and paid for today ) to say thanks mate. On to the actual critique of the brew, not knowing the standard of formatting as I've not looked yet I'm going to approach this with an out of 5 list style...

It was a strange and stressful evening as we had a power cut that lasted a good while so we were chatting in the dark. Anyway, I digress I left them in the fridge and drank them after a couple of weeks. Unfortunatly I lost my notes when tidying up so heres the tasting notes I can remember on the Old Ale. Bear in mind that I was tasting this after drinking AG beer for a while.

Apologies for no pic, fully intended to, but got distracted and ended up supping it before remembering! Description: in its clear bottle, the colour was apparent from the outset, and the extra 4 weeks conditioning in a cool dark place (the shed!) hopefully served to do it justice. The brown amber colour was similar to many bitters (although I have to confess if I've drunk ... critique Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:39:47 GMT http://brewexchange.forumotion.com/critique-f5/drewthebrew-s-adnams-broadside-t16.htm#62 http://brewexchange.forumotion.com/critique-f5/drewthebrew-s-adnams-broadside-t16.htm http://brewexchange.forumotion.com/critique-f5/tom76-s-coopers-bitter-t11.htm sam.k right this is my first critique so forgive me if i make little sense. thats the bad boy. i received it on thursday last week, its taken until now to settle. the lighting is bad so excuse the pic. righty on to the critique. See - deep amber, slightly lively. smell - slight honey tones taste - sudden bitterness in the mouth which fades to be replaced with a mild caramal flavour, lingering bitterness (pleasant) in the back off the mouth. sadly the head retention is poor, ... critique Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:12:27 GMT http://brewexchange.forumotion.com/critique-f5/tom76-s-coopers-bitter-t11.htm#47 http://brewexchange.forumotion.com/critique-f5/tom76-s-coopers-bitter-t11.htm
