January 6, 2009
To me, almost nothing is more dreary than the first workday after the New Year celebration. Let’s think back over the past couple of months, shall we? We had Halloween and the associated Oktoberfest beer reviews, then Thanksgiving where Liz found a Turkey-flavored beer that she loved (but we rejected it - and her) , and then of course, there’s Christmas and the New Year celebrations with all of the great Holiday Beers!
Now we come to January. Snow, darkness, cold. Blah. Nothing to look forward to until the Springtime!
But wait! The brewers of the world have given us hope! We have Winter Beers to review and sustain us until the flowers of spring are being trampled below our feet, and the smell of fresh manure wafts above gardens all around us! Thank goodness for beer! Winter beer.
The Brew Club’s first 2009 Winter beer review is the Brooklyn Brewery Winter Ale! Reigning from New Jersey, one would think I would have had a steady diet of this locally crafted beer over the years! I must confess to you that this Winter Ale is my first sampling of any of the beers made by Brooklyn Brewery! Shame on me? Maybe. Shame on you? Certainly.
To start off, this ale is a nice medium-amber color, not too bubbly or carbonated, and it didn’t create much of a head in my knock-off Guinness glass. Not surprisingly, it didn’t leave much lacing on the glass either, but that’s OK!
The smell of the Brooklyn Winter Ale is great - warm, malty, inviting. It’s fragrant to the point where I can smell the malt as it sits beside me on my desk! According to the wintery-colored label, this Winter Ale is made with “…heirloom Maris Otter malts to create a beer with roots in blustery Scotland.“ Well, I’m not sure how blustery Scotland is, but I will say that the ‘nose’ of this beer reminds me a lot of the Sam Adams Scottish Ale, which I do not think is made anymore!
Many times, Scottish ales are maltier and darker than their English cousins - maybe that’s what Brooklyn was after. Regardless, this beer smells good, and if you like malty smelling beers you will like this this one. Maybe you will bathe in it, I just don’t know what you’ll do when you smell it.
Tasting the beer, it isn’t surprising especially if you’ve been whiffing it for awhile like I just was. The maltyness really comes through, and it has a slickish mouthfeel to it and it has a decent medium body. Surprisingly, there is also a bit of hops that comes through in the finish, and to me is just a little bit spicy. There is some good bitterness to the aftertaste, and as I was drinking this beer I was thinking it would be a super beer to have along with a good burger and fries. Mmmmmmm pizza.
So what do I think? Overall, this 6% ABV Winter Ale from Brooklyn Brewing is a pretty good beer - it isn’t too ‘experimental’ or weird in any sense, and in that regard it might make a good ‘gateway’ beer, or just for good drinking if you want a quality wintery ale with no surprises. Its a good beer and I think I’ll have another please!

I recently wrote an article about yeast, for The Brewclub and described the difference between top fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) as used in ales, and bottom fermenting - (Saccharomyces pastonrianus - formerly known as Saccaromyces carlsbergensis) as used in lagers. Well clearly there are different varieties of yeasts within those two main headings, because this weekend I tried a lager brewed with champagne yeast! Keep this beer in mind for your next New Year’s Eve celebration!
Kasteel Cru is said lager, brewed in Alsace using spring water, champagne yeast and hallertau hops. I suspect that the brewers would have us believe that the hops were hand picked by virgins, under a full moon, such is the premium they’re trying to attach to this 5.3% lager.
Understandably so, this is a bustling sector of the market, and it takes something really special to differentiate a real premium lager. It seems to be working as it got a mention in British GQ Magazine’s “100 Best Things” . It’s got its own special glass too, as you’ll see from the picture… very classy.
Despite the hyperbole, this is actually a very fine lager.
A very pale amber colour and a full, fizzing head. A fine hoppy nose that is refreshing before you even taste the drink that’s probably the influence of that Champagne yeast.
The drink itself is, as you would expect, really light and refreshing, and ever so slightly sweet.
It’s an excellent, well balanced flavour, somebody’s really done their homework on this one.
I’d give this four stars. It might have been higher, but it’s so premium, at the equivalent of nearly four dollars a 330ml bottle it’s a bit pricey for day to day drinking. But then I guess that’s their intention.

I just wanted to say to anyone who happens to stop by today - Happy New Year from The Brew Club! Lets all hope that 2009 is better than 2008 turned out to be!
To commemorate 2008, I went through the history books, and found this old painting of ‘Father Time’ along with ‘Baby New Year’. As you can see, The Brew Club was around back then too and our logo is faintly seen putting its finger up Father Time’s nose as an insult to the massive suckyness that was 2008.
There is another image that I didn’t post that shows The Brew Club bottle telling baby 2009 to ‘watch his back’ or he’ll get the same treatment this time next year. Think we’re kidding Baby 2009?
I’d also like to thank the other Brew Club members for making this whole beer-exchange concept work. Without their participation, I would not have drank so many different beers in 2008, or had the material to build this beer review website with! I think we’re all better people as a result! (Except maybe Liz who seemed to have slipped a notch or two.)
If I had family-friendly pictures of them, I would post them here for all the world to point and laugh at - but for now their names will have to do! Thanks Jerry, Melissa, Heather, Neil, Liz, and especially Scott. (That’s me!) HA! I’d also like to thank Liz again for doing all the crazy graphics for the site and giving it a personal touch.
I’d also like to say Happy New Year and Thank You our guest reviewers, Coops and especially to ‘Bob the Brit‘, who has really helped bring this beer reviewing blog to a whole new level. (People almost think we know what we’re talking about now!) I’m looking forward to reading more of Bob’s beer drinking adventures here in 2009, and I hope that you are too!
I’d like to also thank some of my fellow Beer Bloggers, who have been a big help either exchanging ideas, offering tips and suggestions, or just stopping by to comment on a review. Thanks!
Finally, I’d like to thank all the other people who stopped by just to read a review, or to leave comments, insults or suggestions. I hope more people feel encouraged to leave their thoughts, beer reviews and suggestions in 2009. We love hearing from our readers!
So, there you have it! Thanks for making The Brew Club in interesting and worthwhile project! Happy New Year!
-Scott

You may have noticed in recent reviews for The Brew Club, that Belgian beers are each served in their own distinctive glasses. Trappist and Abbey style beers tend to be served in glasses reminiscent of chalices, partly to accentuate their monastic heritage and partly to accentuate each brew’s distinctive ‘nose’. Pauvel Kwak has perhaps the most distinctive glass of them all.
The glass is a traditional ’stirrup cup’ - you might recognise the shape from the yards of ale served in traditional English Inns (usually to humiliate tourists) or in Mexican resorts like Cancun (for much the same reason). The stirrup cup is supposed to hang by a stirrup in a coach, but for more traditional bars they serve it on a wooden frame. The complete glass and frame is sometimes known as a ’shoe’, and many bars that serve Kwak in the traditional glass demand a shoe as deposit, to discourage drinkers from inadvertently taking the glasses away with them.
The brewery would have you believe that the glass was designed by Pauwel Kwak, the innkeeper of ‘De Hoorne’ Inn “in Napoleon’s time” and while the Bosteels brewery was founded in 1791, Kwak beer was in fact first brewed in the 1980s. It’s a nice story though, and an unusual glass.
The beer itself is a ‘Belgian Golden Ale’ - much like Duvel, which I reviewed for Christmas. The head is minimal, and doesn’t produce any noticeable lacing, and there’s very little nose… maybe a few hints of vanilla and toffee.
The beer itself is toffee coloured, and toffee is an appropriate keyword, the flavour has hints of both vanilla and toffee, with the underlying threat of the cane sugar that is key to the beer’s 8% strength.
After trying a number of Belgian brews recently, I have come to the conclusion that cane sugar is the distinctive underlying ‘Belgian’ flavour I have referred to in the past. But that’s only the ’strong’ Belgian ales, which are largely brewed for export and tourists. It’s no coincidence that the majority of the bars I encountered in Brussels served Leffe.
Overall, it’s an interesting drink, although perhaps made more interesting by the drinking vessel, something to put on the ‘been there, drunk that’ list, but in all honesty, I don’t think I’d put it high on my ‘drink again’ list.
Three stars (and one of those is for the glass).

Recently at The Brew Club, we’ve been trying to keep a Christmas Beer / Winter Seasonal Beer review theme going, and even though its just afrer Christmas, this next beer review is no exception! Troegs Brewing Company out of Harrisburgh, PA produces The Mad Elf Ale for our Christmas beer enjoyment!
This 11% ABV brew (yes 11%) is a clear, medium reddish-colored beer that poured into my glass without creating much of a head to speak of. There was just a minimum amount of foam, but as you can see in the picture which was taken immediately after the pour, it’s kind of flat.
You may have also noticed in the picture an actual ‘Mad Elf’ that is apparently passed out in front of the beer. (Passed out with eyes open is really messed-up) I asked the elf to please go someplace else to sleep off his hangover, but he told me to ‘piss off’ and if I bothered him anymore he would ‘toss my crib’. It sounded threatening, so I let him rest and went on with my picture taking. What’s the world coming to when humans are threatened by drunken elves in their own homes? Stupid elves.
ANYWAY, so The Mad Elf Ale seems to be a little on the flat side. How does it smell? Well, according to the label , this Holiday beer is brewed with honey and cherries, and I can say that there is a subtle cherry aroma that you can pick up. There is some sweetness to the smell too, but I can’t identify honey specifically as the source of that. Overall, it smells pretty good.
Now on to the taste. As you are drinking the Mad Elf Ale, you can taste the cherries and indeed even the honey that is mentioned on the label. Its slight, but it is there. I would not say that this is a ‘Cherry-flavored beer’ or a ‘honey flavored beer’ the Mad Elf is much more subtle than that. The Mad Elf Ale, as you remember, is a relatively strong for a beer in the alcohol department, and you can definitely pick up on that - especially in the aftertaste. The ale is, I would say, on the thin side, not much body, but it wasn’t sticky and was very, very smooth. Very drinkable. There is a very slight hop finish, and other than the ‘alcoholy’ aftertaste - that’s it.
So, how would I rate The Mad Elf by Troegs? Well, it isn’t bad, and it will mess you up if you’re not careful. Its like having two average beers from an alcohol standpoint, so just watch what you are drinking as you should be anyway! The taste is OK. The high alcohol content is well masked, and it does not taste like one might think. You do get a sense of the cherries and honey, but not much. Its low on the carbonation end, and to me a little thin, but it would make a good Holiday beer to try. Surprisingly, I would probably get it again! 3.5 Stars!

What do you think of Troegs ‘The Mad Elf Ale’? Do you have a favorite Christmas brew that you would like to share? Why don’t you leave a comment for the whole class to see????

As it’s Christmas, I thought I’d review a couple of different beers, head to head for The Brew Club, inspired in part by my recent trip to Brussels and partly by my trip to Beer Expo in London back in the summer.
One of the best known and most widely available Belgian ales is ‘Duvel’, which can be categorised as a Belgian Golden Ale. As such it is neither an Abbey nor a Trappist ale, but is nonetheless a classic of its type.
The name ‘Duvel’ is derived from the Flemish for ‘devil’ and a number of other Belgian ales affect satanic names to suggest a familiarity with Duvel, (Satan, Lucifer, Brigand to name but a few) but this is the original, brewed by the Moortgat brewery since just after the first World War.
The recipe for Duvel is in itself interesting; you might recall my mentioning in a recent article about yeast, the story that Jacob Jacobsen carried the original strain of Carlsberg yeast from Louis Pasteur’s laboratory in Paris to Copenhagen. Well, Duvel is still brewed using a strain of yeast purloined from a bottle-conditioned bottle of McEwans Scotch Ale. Similarly, British home-brewers have long used the yeast from bottles of Worthington White Shield to prime their brews.
A brew featuring Pilsner malt and Saaz hops would lead you to expect Duvel to be a lager, but the Scottish Ale yeast, and the subsequent (warm) top fermentation means this is an Ale and fruitier than any lager could be. And at 8.5% ABV this is stronger than all but the strongest of lagers, and most Belgian ales for that matter. Bottle conditioning, with a final dash of cane sugar and yeast completes a complicated brewing process, allowing the brew to continue fermenting.
“Enough history, and domestic science!” I hear you cry! “Bob… what’s the beer like?”
Well, on opening the bottle you’re greeted with a rich hoppy nose and as you pour you’re presented with a rich foamy head that gently subsides, but traces a classic ‘Brussels lace’ though the glass.
Flavour wise, the hops hit first, but then you get the underlying cane sugar strength. It’s an enjoyable brew, but not one for day to day drinking. And not necessarily for special occasions, it’s interesting, and enkoyable, but not a beer you’d revisit too often. I think I’d go back to Leffe for ‘regular’ Belgian drinking.
Three Stars - a classic of its type.
Rating:
A few years ago, the Moortgat Brewery bought Brasserie d’Achouffe, and I just happen to have a couple of bottles of their ales on my shelf. This just gets better and better!
Having reviewed a Devil Brew, I thought I’d turn to the side of the angels - GOD Lager!
Back in the summer I attended an interesting beer exposition in London for The Brew Club. Scott posted a mini- review while I wrote about it in more detail on my personal Blog. Unfortunately consuming more than several ales in an afternoon can compromise your palate so, whenever I spot a beer I remember encountering during that (very pleasant) afternoon I have been trying to revisit them!
One beer we tasted that afternoon was the modestly named ‘God Lager’ from the Nils Oscar brewery in 
Sweden. This isn’t perhaps as heretical as it sounds, as ‘God’ translates to ‘Good’ in Swedish, and the brewery even grows its own barley to ensure the ‘goodness’ of its lager. However the four different hops (yes four) used in the brew are imported, as hops don’t grown that far north.
‘God Lager’ is brewed using a fairly dark malt, giving the brew a rich amber colour, reminiscent of a Vienna style lager. The beer is brewed to 5.3% ABV and is unpasteurised, a rarity for lagers in this day and age but I do have fond recollections of a warm afternoon drinking unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell in a bar in Prague. Being unpasteurised means that the nose is more noticeable than most lagers, the flavour is well balanced, a good mix of sweet dark malt and light fizzy hops, the lightly roasted malt means that there’s a bit more flavour than your normal lager, slightly nutty, all in all very pleasant.
Being unpasteurised means a relatively short shelf life, but frankly, there’s little fear of it remaining on the shelf too long!
3 1/2 stars… it’s good, very good, but not quite special enough to merit a 4th star.
Rating:
So there you have it… The devil merits 3 stars for his 8.5% Belgian Ale, while God’s lager gets three and a half for his subtle 5.3% lager. Of course that’s only my opinion… but heck, it’s Christmas!

A while ago, in my review of the truly awful ‘Elken Artois‘, I questioned the existence of other oak aged beers. What I meant to write was the existence of any other oak aged lagers. Belgium has a great tradition of producing rich oak-aged ales, such as the wonderful Rodenbach Grand Cru.
I first encountered Duchesse de Bourgogne (pronounced Dooshess de Burgoyne) on draught about seven years ago at the Great British Beer Festival, at that time my mate Jon and I voted it our favourite beer of the show! I confess it had quite slipped my mind (life does that to you sometimes) until I spotted it in a beer shop on my recent visit to Brussels. I bought a bottle to sample in controlled conditions at home, then found it the the Cafe Delirium bar to enjoy in situ. And enjoy it I did.
The beer itself is a traditional Belgian Red Ale, brewed in the Flanders town of Vichte to around 6.2% ABV. It’s double fermented and then aged in oak for around 18 months. The finished article is a blend of older and newer brews to provide a consistent flavour - much like the ‘gueze’ lambic beers of Belgium. The colour is a rich, dark garnet, with a trace of head; and the nose is slightly sour, again almost Lambic. We’re talking hints of Balsamic Vinegar - you get the drift - this is not a glass of the usual.
A few beer reviews ago, I described Thomas Hardy’s ale as what beers would be like when they grow up. Having become re-acquainted with this particular Duchess, THIS is what beers should aspire to! You’d want to spend an evening in the company of this Duchess, she’d be lively and stimulating company, in comparison ‘Thomas Hardy’ - older and opinionated… not someone you would want to spend too much time with.
And for information, the label depicts Mary of Burgundy, who died in the 15th century, she was much loved by her subjects (by all accounts) and died aged 25 while out falconning. The photo, taken at Cafe Delirium, also features the Cafe’s draught beer list - around 25 beers on draught at any time!
Four stars - a wonderful, wonderful beer.

It isn’t too often that I go out of my way and buy a beer to try based on other beer reviews, but this is an exception! The Brew Club has been reviewing a bunch of Winter Seasonal beers, as well as some traditional Christmas beers, but I’ve been reading an awful lot of good things about the Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock Limited Edition. I just had to try it. I’m not really sure that the Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock is a wintertime-only brew, but its a good choice for the season. I’ll make it fit!
So, I ventured out to my regular place and sure enough they had a few boxes of Chocolate Bock on display, ready to go. Great! I grabbed one, but before I did I noticed that the black bottle with special label cost $11.99! “Holy crap!” I thought to myself - but then I remembered that this was for science and research and not enjoyment per-se. I convinced myself it was alright to purchase this beer, and scratched the stupid milk and apples and eggs off of my shopping list instead.
Once I got home and chilled the bottle a bit, I removed with great anticipation the foil-covered top to begin! The beer pours into the glass a very, very dark color which appears black. In the light, one can see it is an extremely deep reddish color - and it produces quite a nice dark-beige head of foam that does not linger for too long. You’ll be able to get to drinking this one quickly I think!
The smell, I will confess, is somewhat less than I would have expected. Inhaling deeply, I can pick up on some malty smells, and indeed the chocolate is in there, but not too much else. Very mild, and nothing really jumps out.
Now, the taste is really quite different than anything else I’ve tried! Let me see if I can explain it by first revealing to you the contents of the little tag that was attached to the Chocolate Bock bottle. The little tag states that the beer contains Noble Hops from Bavaria, uses an ancient brewing process called ‘Krausening’, and then the beer is aged on a bed of ‘chocolate nibs’ (not sure what they are, chocolate nibs) from ‘Felchlin - a renowned Swiss chocolatier’. Apparently, the Chocolate nibs go to Switzerland all the way from Bolivia for this very special beer to be aged on. Sounds like a heck of a process to me! (Probably why is costs so much!)
So, the taste turns out to be spot-on in regards to the little tag. You taste a lot of malt, and there is some nice sweetness that comes through - mostly chocolate, but lingering in the aftertaste is a bit of sweet honey. This is really an interesting beer, and in my opinion is just about PERFECT for the cold months of the year. Don’t get me wrong, you are not going to drink this beer and confuse it with Yoo-Hoo, but you will definitely pick up on the chocholate taste especially in the finish. It is very nicely done.
The Sam Adams Chocolate Bock definitely has a thicker feel to it, medium to heavy body I would say, but it’s really a smooth sipper - no sting, no bite, and I can’t really pick up on much of an alcohol taste at all. This is a 5.5% ABV beer, so it isn’t too strong in that regard anyway.
So, I’m happy I tried this Sam Adams Chocolate Bock, and now I know what all the fuss is about! Was it worth the $11.99+tax? I would say so. Winter is but once per year, and I could easily see this becoming a yearly tradition for myself. Go out and try it!

Usually, when attempting to intertwine two things you love a bit too closely, there’s always a chance the result will be disappointing. Sex while drag-racing, trying to fall asleep listening to heavy metal, putting chilli in your beer…
…Hang on, that last one might work. Someone at the Outback Brewery thought so, and I was persuaded by the sheer novelty value of Outback Brewery’s Chili Beer to try it!
This is a 4.8%, full strength, hand crafted, chemical and preservative-free Australian beer infused with two types of fresh chillies. They classify it as an Amber Ale.
It won a Gold award in 2004 at the Australian and International Beer Awards in the Herb and Spice Category, and two Bronze awards in 2006 and 2007.
As you can see, it is a conventional looking, amber-coloured beer. There are no distinctive odours, neither hops nor the expected chili aroma were especially noticeable to my hesitant nose.
The first sip is extremely rewarding. The chili, breathed out through the nostrils, tingles and warms very pleasantly. I wanted every sip to be like the first but, alas, cleansing the palette would require water and waiting. Two things Australians avoid when drinking!
A gentle, tingling sensation continues on the tongue, renewed by each mouthful. It slowly creeps down to warm your stomach. You know chilli is in this beer but nobody will be turning bright red, clawing at their throat, and asking for somebody to kill them.
That’s right, Outback Brewery have resisted the urge to spice up this little number with the mistaken belief that ‘a little is good, more is better’. A big relief for those of us who like the TASTE and FLAVOUR of chilli, but resent having a FLAMETHROWER turned on in our mouths as some dubious test of manliness.
Perhaps predictably no other strong flavours come through. Chilli is hard on the taste buds even in low doses. Still, it is a very drinkable and strangely distracting. I found myself saying “this is really nice” several times, interrupting conversations, and not offering one to anyone else.

Now that its getting colder outside and we’re moving from Autumn into Winter, its time for The Brew Club to start reviewing Winter seasonal beers! Today’s winter beer review is Blue Moon’s Full Moon.
We’ve reviewed several beers made by Blue Moon Brewing Co, (Molson-Coors) and for the most part they have done a good job at creating a good product. How does their Winter brew stand up?
This Ale is a semi-transparent medium amber that sort of reminds me of iced-tea in my glass. It creates a good bubble-show when poured from a proper carbonation-removing height of several inches above the glass. A decent foamy head works its way up he glass, and then slowly fizzles out leaving a bit of heavy lacing that eventually works down to some just around the rim of the glass. Soon enough though, this beer becomes totally flat.
The smell of the Full Moon Ale is pleasant - sweet certainly, malty perhaps, but nothing too strong or really distinctive. It seems well balanced and doesn’t smell too ‘beery’ (that’s a technical term) to me at all. According to the label, this 5.6% ABV is brewed ‘with roasted malts and a hint of Dark Belgian sugar…’Sounds nice, right? Well I think that’s what you pick up - sweet and malt. Easy!
The taste was a bit of a letdown for me. I’m not exactly sure what I was expecting, but I was underwhelmed by the experience! This ale was a bit on the thin side, kind of watery actually. There was something of a mild sweetness to it, but nothing distinctive about the flavor at all. Bland really.
On the other hand, its a drinkable beer if you don’t want a beer that has too much bite, or if you don’t like beer with too much character, or you generally aren’t a beer drinker - this might make a good ‘gateway’ beer for someone who is looking to try something other than the typical macro American Lager. (I think the new Budweiser American Ale falls into this category as well.) This Blue Moon beer, isn’t bad, but it isn’t great either. The best I can describe it is ’solidly average’. Blue Moon’s Full Moon is not a beer that you will remember, but you could certainly do worse than this for the Winter season.
