time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

english brown ale?

Double Brown.

English Mild

Irish Red

Dark ESB

Nobodies gotten it. I am looking for a specific BJCP style.

This brew comes from a "family" of beers ranging greatly in alcohol content, though all having similar ingredients.

Belgium Quad

also you guys will never know.... muahhah

Belgian Dark Strong Ale.

edit: I suppose Belgian Quad basically counts as the same thing as my answer.

Old Ale

Looks like a Scottish ale to me, A wee heavy perhaps?

I was thinking the same thing and going to put the actual BJCP style, but figured quad may cover a little more ground!

Doubt it anyways, as somebody already guessed Wee Heavy. My bet is that maxam got it.

Either that, or bottlebomber was wrong to reject that guess. But against my better judgment, I'd like to think he's not *that* stupid.

80 schilling/export would have been my guess for today if Maxam hadn't already said it. And I assume the strong Scottish ale means Strong Scotch Ale though I might be splitting hairs there. After a few McEwans, I'm often interchanging the two as well.

Is "Wee Heavy" an alternative name for the "Strong Scotch Ale" style? I thought it was just a commercial name for a beer of that style. Similar to all Old Ales can be considered Winter Warmers, but not all Winter Warmers can be called Old Ales.

EDIT: a simple review of the BJCP guidelines says wee heavy and strong scotch ale are synonymous.

Hint: This beer is commonly drunk very green.

German Hefeweizen

Irish cream ale?

Wit

You have that backwards

American Wheat

Dunkelweizen

No one has it yet, but we're on the right track.

Next Hint: This beer is commonly drunk very green.
