Mikkeller black hole

Unexpected 13%.

Woah.

It's beating me up right now.

Lots of flavor, big alcohol taste.

I'm not picking up much coffee in it.

It was pricey.

6/10

Dfh chicory stout

One of my favs from dfh.

As it turns out, one of the first brews from them.

Recommended. One of a limited number of beers that I get every season.

8/10

Otter Creek pale

Another world market mix pack item.

Just a mediocre pale. Not great, not special. Just a run of the mill pale ale.

4/10

Red Tail lager

Super generic lager.

Not a bad flavor, just light, and mediocre.

I believe it was part of a mix pack.

4/10

Saranac adirondack lager

Pretty tasty lager.

A lighter beer without tasting light.

Definitely worth the sample pack.

6/10

New holland poet

Mediocre oatmeal stout from new holland.

Their stuff is pretty hit or miss.

This would not be a go to oatmeal for me. Pretty far back on the list.

5/10

Metropolitan flywheel

Another lager from metro.

Again, not bad, just Not great.

Pretty mediocre. It hit the spot on a long day of house painting.

5/10

Lakefront Oktoberfest

Not bad.

One of lakefront's better brews.

Glad I had it, and will likely grab it again next year.

6/10

Hoegaarden

German light lager.

Not a fan.

I get the feeling this is the mgd in Germany.

4/10

Metropolitan dynamo

Copper lager.

Pretty light, decent flavor.

Not something I'd go out of my way for, but a nice option to have.

5/10

Founders porter

Good beer.

I've found that I like just about all of founders standard issue brews.

This is a big flavorful beer, that is a great example of a porter.

Recommended.

7/10

Dfh, victory saison du buff

I saw this, and was curious if it would be different than the dfh branded bottle.

Nope.

A different take on a saison, with a hoppy side to it.

6/10

Hell hath no

Bells hell hath no fury

Pretty good ale.

Dark, big flavor.

I was pretty happy I bought 2.

7/10

Leinie big eddy

Went against my better judgement on this one.

Normally, I feel they brew beer for women.

Not this one!

9.5% imperial stout.

It was great.

Thrilled with the value of a 4pk!

8/10

Great divide hibernation

This one took me by surprise.

Tasted it, liked it. Sweet, but a nice balanced flavor.

Quickly finished it.

Felt odd, read the label.

9.4%!!!!!

Woah.

It hit hard.

Will buy again.

7/10

TwoBros bare tree 09

Oddly dark Weiss.

It was ok. Kinda had a strange flavor.

Not bad, but different. Not what you'd expect from a Weiss.

5/10

Breckenridge Christmas

Meh.

7%

Not bad, but not great.

Starting to think I just don't like Xmas brews.

5/10

Atom smasher

TwoBros atom smasher

Oktoberfest styled lager.

Pretty tasty! Not my fav Oktoberfest brew this season, but in the top 5.

6/10

Dfh namaste

Surprisingly good!

Refreshing beer. The orange/lemon grass are apparent, but don't overtake the flavor.

Recommended for the price!

7/10

Mickey Finns amber

Man, I wanted to like this.

On tap, it's pretty solid.

In a can, it's super generic.

I was not impressed, and unfortunately had such high hopes. Wanted to see the local guys put out something great.

2/10

Never summer ale

Boulder brewing ale.

Pretty mediocre. Came in a world market "beers of America " pack.

Would not buy again.

4/10

Murphy's Stout

A nitro widget stout that isn't guinness.

Pretty good, but the flavor is somewhat thin.

Id rather have a guinness 99% of the time.

5/10

SN southern hemis harvest

Not a bad brew.

Not hopslam hoppy, just a plain ale, brewed with fresh hops.

It reminded me that I am losing interest in hoppy beers.

6/10

Sam Adams chocolate bock

The classic.

Good brew.

Glad you don't need to spend $20 on the single any more.

7/10

Emelisse stout

Emelisse espresso stout.

10%

Little carbonation, no booze taste.

Good flavor!

Really solid brew. Anxious to try the others.

Recommended.

7/10

Espresso stout

Black toad ale

Dark ale.

Decent. Nothing fancy, but I thought it was pretty drinkable.

Won't buy again, don't regret it :-)

6/10

Blue moon winter abbey ale

Light, refreshing, tasty.

Just a good beer through and through.

Pleasant surprise.

7/10

Bergoff hefe

Again, not bad, but not great.

A good party beer.

Pretty safe.

5/10

Avery new world porter

Not really a fan.

It was ok. I find that i really only get into their specialty brews. A lot of their 6pk beers just don't appeal to me.

/snob

:(

4/10

Ska brewing 10pin porter

Probably their best beer that I've had.

Good flavor.

Cool graphics:)

Next time, I'll put on some ska bayo, and enjoy the beer a little bit more.

6/10

Berghoff solstice wit

None of their beers will wow you, but none of them will suck either.

Pretty safe wit.

5/10

3F rabbid rabbit

A hoppy saison?

Why not, everything 3G does is hoppy.

This was a good one though.
7/10

More rabbit

Southern tier mokah

A blend of the Javah and choklat beers.

Pretty good.

I used to buy the singles to mix them, but drinking a pair of 22oz bombers would make me feel funny.

Props to Scott at dicarlos for inventing it!

8/10

O'Fallon Smoke

Smoked porter.

Great for the style.

We also used a bottle for smoking some pulled pork. It was great.

6/10

Longshot cranberry

Eesh.

Not good.

If she didn't work for Sam Adams, I don't think it would have been released.

2/10

Sam Adams Longshot bock

Very solid.

Longshots can be hit or miss. I really liked this one.

6/10

Black cauldron stout

Meh.

Pretty run of the mill stout.

Bought off the Halloween rack. I had high hopes.

What can you do.

5/10

Trader joes mexi lager

Pretty generic.

Not terrible, just not great.

Not much of a value at $1.

4/10

Trader joes lager

Pretty good lager.

Could have easily had a few in a sitting.

Recommended.

6/10

Trader Joe Weiss

Decent wheat beer. Andi liked it.

About what I expected, but for $1, it's hard to complain. I'd still rather have a hacker.

5/10

Monks fest

Another shot

Weissenohe monks fest

Yum.

I could have had 8 of these. Just a solid okfest brew.

7/10

Stockyard oatmeal stout

Great!

Another trader Joe pickup.

A simple 5% stout, but terrific flavor.

Borderline sam smith!

Yea, I went there!

7/10!

Trader joes dunkel

Pretty decent.

I had low expectations despite the tribune article about their brew quality.

Worth the $1!
