June 2021 Competition - Dark Beers

[Dads_Ale]

Time to get your Dark Beers sorted for the June competition

Judging will hopefully take place around 7th July but may be over a few days if there are a lot of entries.

PM (start conversation) me for address and try to get the entries to me by the end of the month as this will allow time for them to settle before judging.

Any style of dark beer welcome. Please ensure bottle is marked with the style, ABV and your forum name.

Anyone not sure the rules see the "new competition rules" thread.

Ill update here as bottles arrive.

I've got a raspberry imp that's been in the bottle for 18 months. Worth a shot.

Apologies for a very newbie question, but I'm not sure what counts as a 'dark' beer...
would a Ruby Mild be 'dark' enough? How about a Dunkelweizen?

 

[Skello]

Uggghhj!! I’ve just finished the last of my red ale too!

Morning
I couldn't find a definitive definition of 'dark' in the rules so guess it is more down to peoples perception as to whether it looks dark or not.
I did check the BJCP criteria for a Dark Mild which is 23.6 to 49.3 EBC, so I would say anything over 24 EBC could be classed as 'dark'

Still plenty of time to get your dark beers entered into the June competition

Any style, it just has to look dark

Hopefully it's something you will enjoy

Last night I had a sneaky sample of my Old Ale which is now 2 months conditioned and was pretty pleased with it so if you PM me your address I’ll get a bottle of that off

 

[Surfingobo]

Ive got an exmoor beast tribute id like to send. Could I have your address please?

 

[pilgrimhudd]

@Dads_Ale I got two in the post to you this morning, a dark Saison and a Tropical Stout.

 

[phildo79]

I've a KBS clone kegged. Supposed to be ready in August but I'm itching to have a taste. If it's up to scratch, I'll send in a bottle.

I've got some stout than I can send a bottle of. I don't think it's great but it will be good to get another opinion.
