Beer B.S. and Review Thread

Something Brewery | Brighton, CO
Liquid Courage | 3.8% | Hard Seltzer

Firsr time with them brewing a seltzer. It needs some work on the back end, as the flavor isn’t lasting.
Aromas of sweet fruit with a seltzer taste (duh)
Good driving beer

 

Martin House Brewing | Fort Worth, TX
Tres Leches | Coconut | Cream Ale | 5.6%

The aroma of the brew is quite strong of a coconut crème. Overall the aroma is sweet and delicious; it smells like coconut candy - not like Almond Joy, but around there minus the dark chocolate.

Tastes of sweet coconut crème and a touch of caramel. Some coconut milk and a bit more creaminess come to the tongue toward the end, leaving one with a sweet and smooth coconut candy taste to linger on the tongue.
Overall – This is an awesome brew if you want something sweet and like coconut. The coconut crème taste is amazing and makes of a nice drink.

Thanks to @Squatting Pigeon for sending!

 

Martin House Brewing | Ft Worth TX
The Big Tourist | NE IPA | 8%

This one reminds me of Something Brewery’s “Haze and Juice” which is also a NE IPA. It’s not overly hoppy, and at a perfect 8%.

Pours hazy with some lacing that slowly dissipates.

Aromas of an IPA (duh) Tastes of a little hops with that perfect, easy to drink beer. This one is excellent.

Martin House Brewing | Fort Worth, TX
Tres Leches | Cinnamon Cream Ale | 5.6%

The aroma of the brew is strong of a sweet crème smell mixed with just a little bit of a cinnamon smell, but not overpowering.

The taste begins with a rather sweet crème taste that has a small hint of caramel mixed in. Along with these flavors comes some tastes of a light cinnamon flavor.

Overall, a very smooth beer thats a good mix of a sweet and easy drinking beer.

Only at the brewery at this point

 

Martin House Brewery | FT Worth TX
Camp Fire Whiskey Aged Barrel S’mores Imperial Stout | 11.6%

Aromas of dark chocolate and marshmallow
Tastes of graham cracker and dark chocolate, similar to a Hershey’s bar
There’s a hint of aging to hit, but nowhere near over powering where it takes the other flavors.
Solid beer! Thanks @Squatting Pigeon

 

Crooked Stave | Fort Collins, CO
The Gift of Time | Imperial Aged Stout
* Aged for 36 months * | Black Friday Edition | 13.8%

Wow! I’m not sure where this beer came from, but it was a can in the fridge that sounded good.
Poured very smooth, with a small lacing that quickly disappeared.
Taste of bourbon with some dark stout aroma mixed with a good liquor. 10/10 would drink again.

 

Ha. I plan on drinking that one tonight. Thanks for the review!

 

They just dropped a spicy pickle one too if y'all have any interest for the next swap session.

 

Azathoth | Imperial Ale with squid ink and Menthol | 16% | Martin House Brewery; Fort Worth, TX

@Squatting Pigeon warned me it was was a strong menthol. While it poured very smooth and amber’ish- it definitely had a trail of menthol following it.
Aromas of mint with a hint of porter mixed in.
Easy to drink, and definitely chased them menthol bourbon, but at 16% it got the job done lol.
I would drink it again.

 

Something Brewery | Brighton, CO.
Maximum Effort | Blood Orange DDH Citra Pale Ale
5.5% ABV ??? IBU

I ended up with a few cans of this between my tradings with @T-Rex266 and @Larmand and I really like it! It drinks like an IPA without so much of the bitterness. A good bit of orange flavor but not so much that its overwhelming. And yes, my son totally busted his ass as I was taking the photo

 

Prob due to ABV% lol

 

Weird. That stuff was pitch black when I had it from the tap at Martin House!

 

Pour any of those into a glass. It always tastes better, imo.

 

The first one I had was in a pint glass, I'm just feeling lazy right meow.

 

I wonder of the squid ink loses its potency after sitting in a can for a while
