Make a shadow frame using cardboard and contact paper. Opaque materials do not let any light pass through them. We can not see clearly through translucent materials. Translucent materials let some light through, but scatter the light in different directions. Transparent materials let light pass through them in straight lines, so that you can see clearly through them. A transparent object will not make any shadow, as light passes straight through transparent objects. The object must be opaque or translucent to make a shadow. What is a shadow?įor a shadow to be formed an object must block light. I’ve put together a fun list of shadow activity ideas with ( hopefully ) something to appeal to kids of all ages. Relatively low ABV for the style and not-too-thick texture makes it more drinkable, but the relatively high carbonation and odd flavor combos don't help much.Sunny summer days are a great time to experiment with shadows. This is much more carbonated, as I guess it should be since it's got wild yeast, but still a bit much for something parading as a stout or quad.ĭ: Not bad at all. Maybe I'm just a bit jaded now since I already had the imperial stout and the winter warmer, both of which were very good. Maybe flavorful is a better term? Anyway, it had classic stout elements (coffee, chocolate) along with classic Belgian Double/Quad elements (yeast, alcohol, toasted malts, maybe some molasses) and also a persistent overtone of smoke. It wasn't an exceptional beer in any regard, and I'm still debating whether or not I liked it (yes, I know I said it was tasty). Some coffee did come through on the 2nd attempt. S: Burned wood, caramelized sugar, Belgian yeast, alcohol. It was black, not brown, except for the dark brown head and the foam around the edges. However, the owner calls it a "smoked Belgian stout." That category certainly doesn't exist on the BA list, and it was a quite unique beer.Ī: Very dark, but not quite as thick or oily as their imperial stout. I picked "Quad" since it has the name "4Shadow" and I'm guessing that play on words hints that it's a quad. In fact, I'm not even officially sure what Beer Style to have added it under. One of the bartenders mentioned to me that he is personally responsible for putting a huge dent in their inventory after each shift - so at least someone finds it highly drinkable. While I found this extremely enjoyable, I don't think I could drink more than one just because of the strength of the flavors found within. Since this is theoretically the first of a style, hard to judge against anything else. Maybe slightly higher carbonation that a stout or a porter, but still very enjoyable. It's as though you took a De Dolle, dropped in a Hersey's Kiss and set it on fire. Chocolate and smoke are the first to hit you, with the Belgian charateristics coming out shortly thereafter. Unlike anything I've ever encountered in a beer before. Smoke, chocolate, and Belgian phenols & esters all interacting and playing off one another. Smell is the highlight of this beer in my opinion - lots of complex things going on with this beer. Upon first glance one might mistake the beer for a nitro-stout, but taste tells you otherwise. I had the same explanation provided to me from the owner - that this is being called a "Belgian Smoked Stout." The owner, Scott, said he searched fairly extensively on Google as was confident this is the first recorded version of a Belgian Smoked Stout.Īppearance is black, opaque with a thick creamy head. This beer is currently listed as a Quad here on BA - but it is more certainly not a Quad. Pulled from my tasting notes on a 01/27/09 visit.
