A very mellow Stout, it reminds me a lot of the Guinness draft in a can. Pretty enjoyable. I would give this a high score if you like a real powerful Stout with a lot of kind of burnt flavo…
Interesting, tastes like a standard beer kind of reminds me of something like a Heineken. It's pretty refreshing, it has the slightest amount of bitterness. Not too much though. I'm going t…
This isn't bad, I found the Belgian ales for me. Run anywhere from tolerable to the worst kind of beer I've ever had. This one's on the tolerable side. I think the best I would ever give a…
Quite good, refreshingly non-bitter for a stout, a solid 8/10.
Not super fond of this. There's kind of a bitter flavor to it. Very subtle in the background. I'm not sure if bitter is the right term. Maybe like skunky it's got that kind of flavor that s…
Imperial Stout brewed with blackstrap molasses and licorice, dry spiced with Cherry Bark and vanilla bean, 50% aged in Bourbon, wine, and new Oregon Oak barrels. The beer is very dark even…
Alcohol by volume is 9%. This is one of my favorite Stouts. A deep rich flavor with a good amount of complexity to it. Has that good quality that Stouts get with a high alcohol percentages…
This beer is 9.3% alcohol by volume. There is a bitterness to this beer but it is mixed with a smooth flavor. Some hoppy flavor comes in right after the initial subtle bitterness. Overall t…
This IPA has a very crisp taste. It's not overly better, not really bitter at all which is a very unusual property for an IPA. Not a very strong aftertaste all the way it sits around for a…
This is 6.3 alcohol by volume. A pretty decent Porter. Kind of dry which is unusual for a beer. Not bad though. It doesn't have a lot of complex flavor to it though.
5.6% alcohol by volume. The coconut flavor in this is way more pronounce than I thought it was going to be. There's a lot of sweetness to this beer which goes well with the coconut flavor.…
This has a very rich and creamy flavor. A lot of depth to the flavor. It's a flavored milk stout with vanilla beans and cocoa nibs. I'm not sure what a cocoa nib is but I'm guessing it is c…
Very good beer. Has a bit of a burnt taste to it but it's very subtle and works with the darkness of the beer. Alcohol is 5.9% by volume.
This beer is fermented with wood. I was thinking that might give it a similar taste to a barrel aged beer. It actually reminds me of a German white wine on the dry side. It's 8% alcohol by…
Batch 97, 10% alcohol by volume. The description on the bottle says the flavors have been compared to Chocolate, smoke, leather and figs. I agree with this description. This is also a fanta…
This is the first non stout or Porter barrel-aged beer that I ever had. Label has lots of notes of berries Marion Burien Cabernet raspberry fig Sherry leather with a tart finish. Reminds me…
This is one of the hoppiest beers have ever had. Bright would be a good way to describe it. Alcohol is 7.0% it was about $5 for the beer. If you like really hoppy beers this is probably goi…
This beer was about $7. The alcohol is 11%. Like most barrel-aged beers I've had it's fantastic. There's a sweetness mixed with a wood flavor.
Alcohol percentage is unknown. Very dark tasting with a good amount of bitterness coming through. I like the bitterness so this is not a bad thing. Kind of a burnt taste to it which is wher…
This is an imperial Oatmeal Stout with coffee and aged in Bourbon barrels. It is 13.1% alcohol by volume and $20 a bottle purchased at Whole Foods. I have really come to love these barrel-a…
