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

Rye IPA

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.

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

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?

 

[weirdboy]

Rauchbier?

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Circa-1880 Export Porter? (i.e. "Stout Porter")

 

[Aschecte]

Oak Aged Baltic Porter

 

[bottlebomber]

This is a somewhat well known commercial offering. Again I would take either BJCP listing, a non BJCP beer style, or the actual name of the commercial beer if you are somehow able to know that.

 

[D_Ranged_Eskimo]

Abyss by Deschutes?

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Black Tuesday by Hanger 24?

 

[Trophy_Brew21]

Black Lager?

 

[bottlebomber]

Ok final clue for the day. The wood you guys are convinced is in this beer... It's not oak.

 

[Trophy_Brew21]

Beechwood aged Imperial Porter?

 

[bottlebomber]

Double no
