Oberon Ale

Bell's Oberon Ale

This Pale Wheat Ale pours a cloudy golden color with lots of little floaters swirling about. Lots of carbonation here. Pulled it right from the fridge and poured a bit heavy and foam shot to the top of the glass and flowed over the rim and all over my kitchen counter. My wife notices and […]

Schloss Eggenberg Samichlaus – Classic

Schloss Eggenberg Samichlaus - Classic

With an alcohol content of 14% this one will get ya.  This Dopplebock pours a dark maple color with virtually no head at all. It was there for just a second and then it left a very slight visible ring around the glass.

Signature Smoked Porter

Signature Smoked Porter

This porter from Choc Brewey pours a rich dark brown – think dark fudge – with a nice foamy, light tawny head that gradually shows a bit of lacing. I abolutely love the deep color of this brew. Sorry for no pic of the glass. Its a SMOKED porter allright. The woody smoky aroma really […]

This black lager from Choc pours a very dark brown – damn near black – with just a little carbonation.  It had a head for about a minute or so and then it settled down and looked alot like stout with a nice ring of creamy bubbles around the edges of the glass. I am […]

Cabernet Barrel-Aged Laika Stout

Claymore Scotch Ale

Claymore Scotch Ale

This tasty ale pours a beautiful dark copper color and due to the moderate carbonation, only leaves a short head with very little lacing around the glass.  I get light smells of caramel, a bready yeast and maybe a touch of coffee or roasted smoky malts.

Imperial Russian Stout

Imperial Russian Stout

I figured I’d start my first post with one of my all-time favorite beers by one of my favorite breweries.  The Imperial Russian Stout from Stone Brewery is one of those BIG ass beers that make you feel like you just ate a meal but damn is it tasty.
