[Beer_ledgend]

[JackoNZ]

[Steve Baker]

With bells on.

[Mike Neilson]

Im a bit guttered I wont be making this one to tell you the honest truth!! I reacon there is going to be Wellingtons best big beers on show and I wont be able to taste them!! Or bow down to them for that mater!! What I am going to do though is try from Taupo to get back to Wellington and drop off my car as quick as I can so that I can at least have a beer at the Malthouse!! The Judges thus far are is again Colin Mallon, Neil Miller and ??????????

[Matthew]

...and Beer_legend??

That's 3.

I'll save you a bottle of RIS. I think the 15% roasted malts are right up your alley ;-)

[Mike Neilson]

Dude 15% dude how did you know I love Soya Sauce!! Drinking my three Fat Ladys 8.88% Pilsner for the comp and it stands no chance, to fruity and to drinkable but not dry like I hoped!! damn it and not hoppy either whats up with that? I reacon this is going to be the best one, whats the next style? If my one loses its Belgian IPA or German IPA

[Matthew]

To be fair, it's 11.5% roast and 3.5% pale choc but it's all dark. Oh and the molasses! It had a touch of soy sauce early on but that's mellowed right out. Triple espresso and Whittakers 72% bittersweet chocolate :D

[jt]

Dessert stout Matthew ?

[Matthew]

Funny enough it went great with dark chocolate...

[Reviled]

"German IPA"

Elaborate on this style for me plz Mike, hopped with hallertau and spalt or what?? lol, could be quite grassy?

[Stu McKinlay]

Mikkeller's German IPA at Hashigo Zake is splendid. So herbal. Old school hopping!

[Beer_ledgend]

I hope so:). Mike hasn't asked me yet.But would be honoured to judge the beers you home brewers comeup with.

I understand Dave has 7 beers entered.
