Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #85 Trillium Deciduous (2016)

Finally! We have a Trillium can grace our table.  The lines have been drawn! Mike and I have to give separate scores for this one!

Style: Imperial Brown Ale
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Teku Glasses
Notes: The nose omits pleasant aromas of pine sap, toasted bread and orange marmalade. Deciduous embodies the seasonal transition from summer to winter with an herbaceous lemon and spicy pine aroma balanced on the palate with a hearty, multigrain malt character and clean, refreshing bitterness. Deciduous is medium in body and dry on the finish. (7.5%)
Rating:  Shaun – 3.75/5  Mike – 3/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #83 Modern Times Black House (MultiCamera)

Shaun’s solo for this review and he’s drinking a Coffee Oatmeal Stout!

Style: Oatmeal Coffee Stout
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Teku Glass
Notes: Black House is an oatmeal coffee stout bursting with coffee aroma and flavor. Modern Times is one of the only breweries in the world to roast our own coffee, which allows us to be exceptionally picky about which coffees we use and how we roast them. The result is an abundantly flavorful beer that’s incredibly complex and aromatic, with loads of roast character and a chocolate-covered espresso bean finish. Black House is also available on Nitro. So creamy. (5.8%)
Rating: 4.25/5

Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – #82 Haw River New England-ish Oatmeal Pale Ale

Another beer mail from our good friend, Larry! This is a variant of one my favorite beers. It’s a “New England-ish” version of Haw River’s delicious Oatmeal Pale Ale. Sounds right up our alley, right? Watch and find out…or just look at the rating as that will give you an idea…

Style: Oatmeal Pale Ale
Container: 500ml Bottle
Glassware: Night Shift Flutes
Notes: Regular Newlins Pale – Our Pale Ale uses flaked oats to smooth out the bitterness and is fermented with a Belgian yeast to provide layers of fruity esters that play wonderfully with the punchy Crystal & Galaxy hops that we dry-hop with for a more “American” hop aroma & finish (5.2%)
