Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Slight hop aroma. Clean tart slightly sweet hop bite. Fades out evenly and leaves you with a mild hop aftertaste, but generally very clean.

Detroit Brewing Sanders Chocolate Stout
Faint sweet smell. Distinct dark malt taste with an edge of hop bitterness/roughness. Slight lingering taste of dark malt sweetness and a taste that hints of a high ABV. Overall, a decent stout.
It says it was bottled 11 months ago.

Atwater Bourbon Barrel Aged Shamans Porter
Nice aroma, but a sweet/harsh taste that leaves a bit of a yuck flavor to linger.

Flying Dog Wilde Man Farmhouse IPA
Sweet, slightly spicy aroma. Taste has a harsh malty sweet taste. Finishes sweet with a moderate hop taste. Too much harshness for me.

Old Dominion Brewing Hop Mountain
Faint grain smell. Taste is pretty flat. Almost like this beer is old. Based on birth date it’s about 5.5 months old. Kind of reminds me of tomato sauce. Not at all what I was expecting…

Fort Collins Brewery The Incredible Hop
This one was really yuck. Had a really sweet smell, gross mouth feel, and a long lingering aftertaste. After a couple drinks, realized the only choice was to pour it out.

Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree
Nice slightly sweet aroma with a slight hint of hops. Nice even flavor that is a little hoppy, but not strongly so. Good strong hop aftertaste that finishes off nicely.

Founders Harvest Ale 2012
Slightly sweet aroma with a hint of a hop bite. Taste is a fresh crispness of hops but quickly smooths and fades out gradually. Leaves with a mild hop aftertaste that’s not too harsh and not too mellow. Bottled on 10/4/12 and drank on 10/26/12, so pretty fresh from brewery to beer drinker.

Atwater Grand Circus
Sweet smell with a good hop smell. Nice dry taste with moderate hoppiness which quickly fades to a sweet flavor followed by a maltiness. A bit sweet.
