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

[Reno_eNVy]

Nay

 

[keesh]

Barleywine is my guess. I'll say english because that is what you have in your signature, hah! Its obviously something with a high ABV since it needs to be aged and has no head, and it doesn't look dark enough to be an RIS.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Nope, not barleywine.

 

[Winters49441]

Old bruin, brown sour

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Nyet.

New hint: the type of vessel in which this beer will sit for an extended period of time(s) is important.

 

[Haputanlas]

Flanders red

 

[jfrank85]

Or flanders brown perhaps?

 

[Winters49441]

Flanders brown and ode bruin are the same

So my guess is 17D: Straight (Unblended) Lambic

Oh my bad

Barrel aged stout

Barrel aged stout

I'll give it to you!

It's a Double Bourbon Barrel RIS

 

[two_hearted]

Hint: I had one last night and it was a little cloudy.

American amber

 

[mcbethenstein]

Irish red

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Ipa

 

[two_hearted]

Close but no cigar.

 

[two_hearted]

Its hard not to give this one away with a hint... but you mostly find commercial examples of this on the west coast.

 

[bottlebomber]

American IPA

 

[two_hearted]

Nope but closer. I'm going by the description on the bottle.

 

[D_Ranged_Eskimo]

Wheat Pale Ale

 

[jfrank85]

Rye IPA

 

[Haputanlas]

I know IPAs been mentioned, but not sure how specific you are being:

Red IPA or IIPA

Red IPA. You got it. Its a Green Flash Hop Head Red.

 

[Haputanlas]

I'll have to defer this to whoever wants to go next. I'm out of town and probably won't be in front of another beer for a little while.

Just post if you have something.

 

[bottlebomber]

Guessing IPA isn't much better than guessing lager...

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Right, but it is still better, as marginal as that may be

 

[bottlebomber]

Dah dah dah! This beer is somewhat of an oddity, a freak if you will. It is both a BJCP style, and at the same time not.

 

[two_hearted]

Belgian stout?

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Cda?

 

[bottlebomber]

If you mean BIPA, no I'll give a hint tomorrow morning. This one might - or might not - take awhile. I suppose since it is off the beaten path I would take one of two answers, both of which were eluded to in the first post.

 

[nocsimian]

German Rye

 

[bottlebomber]

The non BJCP answer is characterized by a higher than normal abv, in this case much higher.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

If you mean BIPA...

Nope, I meant CDA. I never intentionally say BIPA

Quad

 

[D_Ranged_Eskimo]

Robust Porter

 

[bottlebomber]

Double clue for a double answer beer - this beer may look black, but it is not. Lower alcohol versions of this may range from amber to dark brown. Also, medium to strong tannins are a characteristic of this brew.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Gruit?

 

[nocsimian]

Oak Aged Imperial Porter

 

[Aschecte]

Breakfast stout

 

[bottlebomber]

Oak Aged Imperial Porter

Wow damn close!

 

[D_Ranged_Eskimo]

Oak Aged Robust Porter?
