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

[MrFeltimo]

Is it american?

 

[drainbamage]

Is it american?

Yes.

This is another beer that is a new take on an old style.

 

[CorporateHippie]

Blue Moon?

 

[tripplehazzard]

Anchor steam? Liberty ale?

 

[drainbamage]

No to all.

 

[drainbamage]

Ok, recapping the hints:

Heavily reliant on adjuncts (one grain and two non-grains). Rye is not one of them.
Not an IPA (or any of its variants)
It is an ale
American-made, but not East Coast
New take on an old style

New hint: this is stronger than what most of us would consider a session-strength beer.

 

[CorporateHippie]

is it a wheat beer?

 

[drainbamage]

Not a wheat beer.

 

[MrFeltimo]

Tommyknocker brewery
Imperial nut brown ale ?

[drainbamage]

Nope

 

[tripplehazzard]

Oyster stout

 

[MrFeltimo]

Kentucky common?

 

[drainbamage]

Oyster stout

Getting closer on style, but not the adjuncts.

 

[MrFeltimo]

blackberry porter?

 

[drainbamage]

You're on the right track, but not quite there.

The color in the pic is accurate, but not at all typical of the style. One of the key ingredients of the style has not been included in this beer, hence the adjuncts.

 

[MrFeltimo]

American imperial brown?

You're VERY close, just need the right brewery.

 

[tripplehazzard]

Left hand milk stout

 

[chocotaco]

Noble ale works - naughty sauce. Oatmeal coffee golden milk stout.

All I can come up with is : Golden Road Almond milk stout

Stone Master of Disguise

Stone Master of Disguise

Winner!

It's a blonde imperial stout. Since there is no roasted barley used, they achieve the stout character by adding coffee and cocoa for aroma/flavor and oats for mouthfeel.

that was a good one, super tough.
Well done.

 

[drainbamage]

that was a good one, super tough.
Well done.

Thanks. I know the last one was Double Bastard, but I couldn't pass up something that devious. :cross:

 

[JordanKnudson]

Awesome! That was tough. But also, I want to go out and buy one of those now.

Okay, here's mine. Two hints to get started: It's a seasonal release, and it's definitely not a stout!

We can do questions or more hints, whichever you guys prefer.

 

[chocotaco]

3 Floyds?

 

[MrFeltimo]

ommagang
scythe and sickle?

 

[JordanKnudson]

No to all. Chocotaco, you've clearly got my number, but this one in particular is not 3 Floyds.

 

[CorporateHippie]

Ipa?
