Bruery Tart of Darkness

Bruery Tart of Darkness: 1.5 – It’s a stout, wait no it’s not. They decided to put spices and age the beer in barrels, and I have to wonder if they just had a large bad batches of beer, and are trying to pass it off as a ‘sour stout’ which are words that just seem like they shouldn’t be in the same sentence. I enjoy tart things, but even for tart this beer is just awful. Bruery is a fantastic company, and we enjoy many of their beers, but not this.

Gordon Biersch Blonde Bock

Gordon Biersch Blonde Bock: 6/10 – Certainly malty and it’s got a nice overall flavor. It’s just missing something you can’t quite explain. It’s not really a lightness, just a sort of ‘half a beer’ feeling in timing and body. Apologies for vagueness but even among Bock’s this just feels like it should be more.
