Poured from a bottle numbered 124/154 and dated 2019-10-04. Slim amount of dark tan covers the glass, running away quickly. Patchy, sporadic lacing. Aroma big chocolate and sweetness from the milk sugar. Peanut butter shows up late as the beverage warms. Scents of roast are a reach. Taste is sweet up front. The middle brings a chocolate and peanut butter medley that dance on the taste buds. Finishes with a lingering sweetness and hints of peanut butter and chocolate. Thick body but not...read more

Energy City Brewing

Milk/Sweet/Cream Sout

9.0 by cranium

From a can picked up at the October release. Pours opaque with a beautiful mocha foam to cover that is creamy and rich. Good retention, leaving thick traces in its' wake. Aroma of sugar, marshmallow sweetness, almost cake like. Sweet chocolate and graham cracker layer in for depth. A creamy sense even on the nose. Vanilla comes through as it warms, adding to the sweetness aroma. Taste is sweet that carries throughout. There is marshmallow creaminess that brings that sweetness, accented a...read more

Invisible Wings

Phase Three Brewing

American Imperial IPA

9.1 by rich

A: Gold and hazy. No floaters. Soft white foam head of normal retention. Looks appealing. S: Fresh clean aroma, Notes are lemon, grassy, and tropical fruits. T: Really well balanced. The malt sweetness, citrusy fruitiness, and hop bitterness are the perfect trifecta...none more pronounced than the other. As I drink farther into the tallboy can, I kinda get a pineapple like lingering taste. The abv at 7.8 is on the low side for a DIPA. Both mouthfeel and carbonation are fine. O: This is the f...read more

Free Range Brown Ale

Flyway Brewing Company

American Brown Ale

4.9 by scot

Received the bottle 2-3 years ago in a trade. No date on bottle. Pours opaque from the deep, rich brown color. The light penetrates the edges enabling the brown hues within. Two inches of thick, creamy tan foam covers. Great retention, eventually leaving a thin, creamy head. Lacing is sticky and thick, beginning immediately. Aroma is nutty up front. Sweet brought on by brown sugar, molasses, and hints of dark fruits. The taste is a mess. It is hard to describe but it makes me think thi...read more

Centerpoint Brewing Company

American Imperial IPA

6.4 by scot

Going to be a quick review. No date on can to get an idea of age but it seems that the hops have fallen off. Bitter in the finish. Malt forward, nutty, but really not much in the hop department. I would like to try this one fresh. Enjoy!...read more

Pickin' Raspberries

Oswego Beer Company

Fruit Beer

9.2 by scot

Canned on 8/16/19. Very fresh. Pours on the opaque side with an inch of pink foam to cover. Lacing and retention are not friendly to this beer. Raspberries very quickly hits to nose. It is gentle but dominant. Hay, straw and tartness give this beer substance and begin to beat back the fruit as it warms. Taste is a huge hit of tart up front that lingers in the sides of the cheeks. In the middle bring on the straw, wheat and hay. The raspberries are early, disappear in the middle but ling...read more

Abomination Brewing Company

American IPA - New England (NEIPA)

8.9 by scot

No date on can but there is a code: ABDG1-A1. Pours opaque/cloudy with an inch or more of pure white foam that covers. Retention is surprisingly fleeting. There is residual foam on top but no lacing accompanies. Aroma is dank, resinous hops. There is some pineapple and orange like citrus. Sweet. Overripe tropical fruit. Taste is more of the same from the nose. Medium body with medium or better carbonation, which can be abrupt at time, combining with the hop resin to make for rough fin...read more

Fluxed in Paradise

Lagunitas Brewing Company

American Imperial IPA

8.2 by rich

A: Pale yellow gold, with fair amount of hazy. White soft fizzy foam, does not last too long. S: First thoughts are peach and mango. Name of the beer implies tropical fruits, and I would agree it puts you there. Other thought about aroma is fresh gummy's. And I must point out that the double dry-hopping pays off with this forward scented brew. T: Sweetness is quickly balanced by a fruity bitterness. In addition to the peach and mango fruitiness blend, I get a touch of floral which isn't as com...read more
