I'm a sucker for coffee beers, this is a good one. Thanks Mark!

Yeah, I thought you might like that one!

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I had a IPA turn out at 8.5% instead of 6 due to a broken scale and I only had 2 gallons, I had to dump over half cuz it was terribly hot and not gonna get any better. Dont fear the drain, at least for a little of it. Who knows, it may get better with time or alcohol already consumed

Just get a six-pack of Ghost Face Killah or Ghost Scorpion. Have one of those and then use a gallon of this to put out the fire. It won't taste meh hen.

it'll be something for me to keep my hands off other brews. hahahha!!

Sample of my chocolate/ habenero mead. 17%. It's promising.

I don't get the comparison, I'd give that sandwich a go! The mead doesn't sound bad either.
HB IIPA for me.

[Hello]

Okay, I'm no professional taster here but I was delivered two cans of Gandhi Bot and two bottles of Nukebrewer's Gandhi Bot Clone.

Unfortunately, the photo doesn't do it 100% justice but to compare here, I will do my best to describe what I can taste.

BTW, yes, I opened both at the same time and both are showing 40F for posterity.

GBC = the clone FWIW

Color: GBC is only slightly darker than GB.
Scent: GBC has a much sweeter scent and in truth, it is well received. GB has your typical bitter scent that you'd expect from any DIPA. I am not good at identifying a hop by scent but whatever is going on with the GBC it is good.
Taste: The GBC starts out sweeter (?) and finishes with that bitterness of a DIPA. The GB to me starts and finishes exactly how it smells. So it is bitter and doesn't seem to change at all going down (TWSS). I almost think I prefer the clone. I'm sure someone is thinking they'd like to knock me in the mouth for that saying that about the beloved GB, but hey...this is my review.
Head: (schoolgirl giggle) clearly GB has better head retention and in fact, the GB produced more head. Both were chilling for the same amount of time and both were poured into the same style glass one right after the other. I didn't tilt the glass or anything. The head just really barely showed up on the GBC. Once both settled, you wouldn't really know one was a clone and one was the real deal color excluded. I'd say that the SRM was like going from a 13 to a 14 or 14 to a 15. It's negligible to say the least.

There is one taste I cannot figure out on the GBC. The second it hits my tongue it is there and quickly goes away. I wish I could describe it as something other than sweet. I truly like it.

As for calling this a clone, I'm not going to lie and say it is right on. No disrespect at all. I am going to say that it almost tastes better. It could be me and my pallet tonight isn't appreciating the bitterness of an IPA (or DIPA) but I don't think that is it entirely. I will say as I wrote this the GBC started to warm up more (like the GB did) and the scent is a bit closer. The taste of the GBC is a bit more desirable than the GB to me, at least.

I hope you don't mind my super public review Aaron. I am happy to have two cans and two bottles. I will wait until another day to try both and see if I still feel the same. BTW, none of this is bad. In fact, your GBC is a very very good beer. You'll have to confirm the recipe is the one posted here on this site for me. I'm curious if I can pull off such a beer. Thank you again for sending! Oh and can I applaud you for actually filling the bottle so it was spot on 12 oz? The GBC is literally within a hair of the 12 oz pour from a can of GB. Kudos!

Dont knock it until you try it

Damn that sounds good.

Its actually pretty good at this stage. It has light chocolate at first then a mild after burn that is quite pleasant and only last a second. Basically it says hello then says goodbye

I don't get the comparison, I'd give that sandwich a go! The mead doesn't sound bad either.

Dam-n right brotha

Recipe please ;-)

He'll yes, I'd brew this fo sho!

Guess i should put all my mead recipes on here. I got a few ya'll might like other than the Jalapeno/ cucumber. Should I? :cross:

I don't mind the public review at all and thank you for the very kind words. As my own biggest critic I didn't find the beer as enjoyable as you did, but only in the sense that it didn't match the original not that it wasn't a good beer. One of these days I will get around to just drinking it without trying to compare it to anything and just enjoy it, haha. Thanks again.

I have had two 16 oz cans of Torpedo so far tonight and I am now working on a can of Old Chub. No pics because I am trying to get ready for my trip to Texas tomorrow.

[Hello]

Cool stuff.

Don't call me names!

I'll have to see about finding it. Don't get me wrong, I like DIPAs for sure. I just found this GBC to be damn delicious.

Nuke, you are indeed your own worst critic. This is a great beer.
