Todays Tastings

not sure if this is been done 

I thought this would be a great place to show your craft beers  wether you have tried from  brewery, tap house  or just brought a craft beer i'll start
Brewery = Blackmans Brewery, Victoria
Name of beer = Mr West Coast
Style =  COLDER IPA
ABV = 6.5%


This sensational beer is collaboration brew with the Team at MR West (bar and Bottleshop) in Footscray  Victoria

This beer is sensational using centennial Simcoe and citra hops brewed in a larger ops lager yeast.
Blackmans never fail to surprise me with there beers  and this beer is no exception and quietly the ABV creeps up on you at 6.5%

The hops are no better as they really a punchy hop flavour  and really well balanced and the yeast even though it’s a lager yeast they brewed this one at a warmer temp.   I love the dry finish this one gives and is rather clean.

I am nearly tempted on Saturday to head to Torquay or Geelong to see how this beer rock and rolls on tap  which I think will even be better. i hear you will be at blackmans @GASH now you are allowed out of metro 

If you can find this in your bottleshop or simply get on blackmans brewery website and buy a 4 pack you wont be disappointed

 

Cheers and beers

I might see you there  ....   depending what partner is upto

Brewery  = Blackmans
beer style = Barrel aged Bourban Imperial stout
Abv = 10%

Wowwee right from the outset i could smell the beautiful bourbon aromas  which over powers a bit of chocy maltand it just doesnt stop there. however i a finding it difficult  to pick many flavours in this as the bourbon is pretty strong , just the same its a pleasant stout  to drink , but 1 is my limit of these  with a 10% abv   

the barrels blackmans used was makermark and knob creek barrels from the usa

well worth the buy
