Breakside Brewery Ipa
Good fresh taste. Not as bitter as many IPAs are. Reminds me if citrus.

This has a very very complex flavor. Turn to give specific adjectives to describe it aside from deep and Rich. Getting a hint of a cocoa taste to it. It's burning unevenly but it has a very…

Fort George Cavatica Stout
It's sweet and bitter at the same time. Doesn't have much of the bad taste that comes from being in a can that a lot of time to taste another beers. Goes down very smooth. It almost seems t…

This is a good cigar that had a deep earthy flavor alongside the infusion flavors. The size was short and it was easy to smoke and had a good job. I was very surprised by the quality of the…

Orval Triple Ale
The head on the spear is unmanageable. I poured very slow and softly and it was still taking up more than half of the glass. It kind of reminds me of a wheat beer in taste a little bit of b…

The first time I heard about this tea was on the Tim Ferris podcast. I can't recall the guest, but the description of it is what made me buy a tea infuser and get into tea in the first plac…

Right away you get really strong flavors off of this cigar. The flavors stay on the tongue a long time after the draw. This is a very full-bodied cigar. A very good draw a little bit on the…

The draw is not very good. Enough to significantly decrease my enjoyment. Even with the bad draw the smoke output is decent. Start time for the sharp bitter flavor but has a long finish so…

Decent smoke output. A very short finish right when the smoke is gone from your mouth there's not much left at all. Starting off with a little bit of bitterness in a little bit of sweetness…

Very tightly packed cigar. A lot of spiciness to the flavor right off the first puff. A lot of complexity to the flavor it lasts a while on the tongue not super long but enough to notice. T…

Tea
Rishi Ruby Oolong Tea
A mild tea, with an earthy taste, smooth. I prefer my teas to have a bit more kick than this, but it's not unpleasant at all. One of the least bitter teas I've ever had I think.

This beer is a combination of espresso, cocoa, and Irish death. Irish death is already a beer that I like very much. It seems as though the other ingredients take away from the richness and…

Not a bad cigar a little bit of a bitter taste not very complex. The draw was a little bit tight but not so bad it diminished my enjoyment.

Very good easy draw. Not a bad taste but a bit neutral. Not really sweet and not really bitter. As I smoke it down a little bit more there's a bit more bitterness coming in the aftertaste.…
