Interesting beer this one, sadly not as exciting as I wanted it to be!
Nice and soft, very...woody (paper?) earthy note in the flavour which was nice. A little bitter, plenty of roasted flavours.
Meh!

Beer Advent Calendar 2015 - December 20th
Highly anticipated beer today (yesterday...sorry I'm getting lazy).
Brooklyn - Sorachi Ace
This beer sounded interesting when I picked it up, a farmhouse ale, with Belgian yeast and a cultured Japanese hop (sorachi).
Pours clear, no head to speak of. For an unfiltered beer I wasn't expecting it to be so clear.
Smells fresh and light, nice lemon twang with a surprising amount of floral smells coming through.
The taste matches the smell, except for the addition of the malt flavour which takes the lead before the floral flavours kick in. It actually reminded me of Golden Glory for a moment.
Just when I thought the stouts were running away with it this year!

Another day, another delicious stout. As the saying goes...
Brewdog - Black Eyed King Imp (Vietnamese coffee edition)
Next year I'm going to have to deliberately buy crap looking beer, because I can hardly think of anything to write about all these delicious ones...
Oily black pour (not unlike black Albert) with a huge coffee aroma, little bit of chocolate sweetness, little bit of liquorice. Long roasted chocolate flavour with a little bit of a whisky tinge.

And the award for the best beer name goes to...
Mikkeller - Crooked Moon Tattoo Stockholm
This stout was brewed by Mikkeller for Crooked Moon Tattoo - which is a tattoo studio.
Nice dark malts and soft chocolate flavours. It's brewed with figs which are slightly noticeable, there's a little bit of a dry fruity flavour before the bitterness.
It's nice.

Mikkeller - U ALRIGHT?
I'm afraid I used up all my words writing the last beer review...
Another very decent IPA from Mikkeller, this one's nice and light - quaffable. Disappeared fast.

Struise - Black Albert
Straight to business. What a beer! Truly remarkable, and easily the best imperial stout I have ever had (Sorry Brewdog!)
A Belgian royal stout...whatever one of those is. An imperial strength (13%) stout, brewed with Belgian ingredients. It's extreme is all the right places, flawlessly so.
Poured great, just the right amount of activity from the pouring to get a perfect head, which lasted a good while and stayed creamy.
Heavy roasted flavours, strong coffee that still let the hops out.
Very bitter with a long sweetness, it's so smooth you can barely notice the alcohol.
Astonishing.

It's really strange how many beers of the same type I have one after the other.
Today's beer, like yesterday's beer - is a simcoe IPA...
Pressure Drop - Alligator Tugboat
Thankfully (because, repetition is boring) and regretfully (since yesterday's beer was awesome) this simcoe IPA is not the same as yesterday's.
Nice pour with a decent head, sweet like yesterday's but with a lot more crisp bitterness. It's a lot drier too. Usual IPA flavours, hops, citrus, blah blah blah *glug glug glug*
Great bottle design on this one too.
