Out of commission

I haven't posted anything lately ad I have been sick and not drinking much in the way of beer. I will be posting again soon!

Dark Intrigue

Victory Brewing took their Storm King stout and aged it in Bourbon barrels.  Great stuff, rich, malty, chocolate undertones, hints of coffee.  Not overly sweet, a bit "boozy" but not overly so.

Northern Hemisphere Harvest

A well balanced ale, rich copper in color. Short foamy head, off white in color.  Distinct hoppy citrus scent. Another good solid ale from Sierra Nevada.


Applehead

Shipyard's newest ale. All I have to say is that I would rather drink my dishwater than this. Pale, light crappy hard cider with malt.


Ta Henket

Newest of Dogfish Head's Ancient Ale
Series. Brewed as an Egyptian recipe, it has a light slightly murky color, little foam to the head. A distinctly chamomile scent and flavor.  Low ABV, under 5.  I did not like it. It was like a week chamomile tea that someone let go rancid. Cool bottle, wicked cool idea. Sometimes being off centered is just off.
