Stone Enjoy By 02.14.14
Nice dry, sweet hop smell. Nice strong hop flavor with a bit of malt sweetness. Not much aftertaste other than a faint clean sweetness of grains. Delicious blend of go sweetness and malt grain flavor. Drank on 2/1/2014, so I made it in time.

Bell’s Smitten Golden Rye Ale
Faint thick sweet aroma. Immediate nice good malt flavor with minor hints of hops. Finishes very cleanly with a bit of lingering maltiness, but overall very refreshing. Leaves your mouth watering immediately wanting more.
Man, seriously, I’ve never had crack before but this has to be the sensation. I really just want to gulp this down until it’s all gone.

New Holland Dragon’s Milk
Very sweet smell, makes your nosebuds pucker- if that’s something that can actually happen. Can smell hints of the bourbon barrel. Taste initially is slightly harsh, but the mellowing effect of the barrel kicks in and smooths out out. Leaves a slight bourbon/malt aftertaste. Not too strong of bourbon, but if you can’t stand it you might want to avoid this one.

Sam Adams Boston Lager
Served in the special Sam Adams glass. Nice fresh, slightly sweet smell. Great full malt flavor with a nice hop bite on the back end of it. Fades out slowly and leaves you with a clean grainy hop taste.
The only way to go with Sam Adams is on tap. Out of a bottle doesn’t do it justice. But beware- a lot of the time on tap it can be too sweet and without that fresh hop bite. Or maybe this custom glass really rocks!

Founders Backwoods Bastard
Dark sweet aroma with bourbon hints, but not overpowering at all. Sweet, dark, slight bourbon taste, very well balanced. Finishes with that dark sweet taste lingering a bit before being replaced by a dark malt taste. Delicious, but you have to be in the right mood. Perfect for today’s overcast weather. Bottled on 10/12/13, I drank it on 11/17/13. I’ve read about people cellaring this and such, but I must say it’s delicious one month after bottling.

Green Flash Brewing West Coast IPA
Nice fresh strong hop aroma. Grabs taste buds aggressively with a full mouth hop flavor. Hop flavor slowly fades out and lanes you with a slightly harsh but sweet hop flavor that fades ever so slowly… Until your taste buds demand another drink and the cycle starts again.

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.
