From Sam Calagione's book Extreme Brewing. Jackson, Crowe, and Kiwi are New Zealand natives (I think the fruit originated in China, but it's a symbol of NZ).

KaPOW! It's the Ginger Saison someone mentioned earlier in this thread. (it's another beer from Extreme Brewing, Sam Calagione). Wyeast 3711 and candied ginger. Brewed spring 2010 - one bottle left - saving for visit from my brewing brother from Cali.

OK, now your turn.

used something from a can as an adjunct..
kinda skunky but in a good way..

Cream ale

i know, too easy huh...
ur turn!

Okay, I'm going to expect a pretty specific answer here, due to the very short list of possibilities if accepting a very general answer. Don't worry, there is no hidden key ingredient that needs to be randomly guessed at - I feel I'm being pretty fair, especially with the following clue:

I'm not sure that this even qualifies as an ale...

BTW: The Samuel Smith's glass has no significance.

schwarzbier?

Nope!

I'll give another hint at noon, at which point everyone will be free to guess again.

Wow I am such a dork for finding this so entertaining

Yeah but it really is fun!




I'm going to guess that the above pint is a Munich Dunkel.

Baltic Porter

Yea, I was going to guess Porter too, but he said specific so....Robust English Porter?

Sweet/ milk stout

Black IPA / Cascadian dark Ale

Smoked porter

Triple-Thick Chocolate MilkStout

Okay, let me clarify on the first hint:

It's grouped with other styles that are ales, but this particular style almost always uses lager yeast.

And a second (long) hint:

It does NOT have it's own BJCP style definition (it might eventually), although there is a single BJCP-defined style which currently covers every single example of the mystery style, though it covers other beers as well. This broader BJCP style hasn't even been mentioned yet, and is SUPPOSED to be black/very dark... the color here is not what separates this style from others in its group (unlike, say, a black IPA).

Everybody is free to guess again...

Baltic porter

octoberfest

black-toberfest

steam stout
