2014 Memorable Beer List---by ALVIN ( kl)

这期最有印象啤酒清单来自ALVIN---本地CRAFT BEER专卖酒吧的年轻老板之一。

ALVIN的自选LIST只有5支啤酒,是较近期喝过的啤酒。

We continue with the beer list --this time around a short list from Alvin--one of the owners of Tapsbeerbar here in KL.

here's the list--- in his own words:-


This year has been really great. Taps Beer Bar opened a 2nd outlet in 1mk mall and its been crazy setting the place up. In the last 6 months we have been so busy that we hardly had time to sit down and enjoy our beers.
很棒的一年,开了第二家酒吧--不过也因为前期太忙--前半年简直没什么时间坐下来好好喝下自家卖的啤酒。

This year my habit of drinking has changed. Instead of chasing for a certain beer style, I will decide based on the mood I'm in.
今年的喝酒习惯有点改变,不执意追求某种类别,只看心情喝酒。


1. Australian Brewery - extra hoppy ale - all day everyday
This is a very surprising beer. So easy to drink and very satisfying. Nothing big in terms of flavours but the balance of the flavours makes this beer the easiest beer to drink any time of day.
澳洲酿品--让人意外的均衡酒体,适合任何时候的易喝啤酒。


2. Mikkeller - George bourbon ba -slow drinking beer
Mikkeller has produced some really nice beers but sometimes its best to keep it simple and not too crazy. This bourbon barrel aged imperial stout is part of the George Foreman series and at 12.12% its perfect! A very nice oak aroma hits you when the beer is poured but barrel aged stouts you want to let it warm up a bit. The smell of the alcohol becomes more apparent and coupled with the whiskey oak and slight dark chocolate taste, this makes the beer one to remember.
来自丹麦的名牌有不少佳酿,包括一些比较疯狂的,不过,有时候简单直接的也很不错。这是美国威士忌桶陈年处理过的黑啤,让酒体稍微“温热”起来会更好。木桶+酒精+黑巧克力的独特味道,是让人很记得的慢尝酒。
3. Thornbridge - brascia -slow drinking beer
Thornbridge range beers have been solid. Be it their core range or their seasonals. Brascia is a very rich dark ale which surprised me on so many levels. Firstly, its vanilla and dark fruit taste with a strong alcohol taste which didn't overpower the flavours of the beer. It finishes with a slight malty flavour and leaves your mouth wanting more. Shared the first bottle with a friend thinking that it will be too much but ended up having one on my own.
英国酿坊THORNBRIDGE有不少很实在的酿品,这支黑啤是让ALVIN觉得惊喜的酿品,浓厚的口感让人以为难以自个儿喝完,结果是跟朋友分享玩后,ALVIN自己再要了一瓶。
4. Prickly Moses - Otway stout
The simplest stout I've had this year. Medium roasted and low on alcohol. Light to medium body so that's perfect. Not too rich and that makes it so easy to drink and multiple times in a day!
今年喝过最简单的黑啤,低度酒精,适度烘烤的麦芽香--酒体适中--适合一喝再喝。


5. Boatrocker - hop bomb IPA - anytime IPA
Boatrocker is one of the newest brewery we've brought in this year. Their hopbomb IPA changed the perception of Aussie beers. Quite a lot of our customers always say they don't really like Australian beers or that Australians don't know how to brew beers. But when I told them that this is a very very good IPA and gave them a little taster, they would order it all night long. 
这是来自澳洲新酿坊“摇船者”,让人刮目相看的印度淡啤--不少饮客并不喜欢澳洲啤酒或觉得澳洲撞意啤酒不够格--不过,尝试过HOP BOMB之后,会整晚喝不停。。。
