Dark Starr Stout
|
Name – Dark Starr Stout
Country – United States
Type – Irish Dry Stout
Appearance – Pours pitch black with a good sized tan head that left some lacing on the glass.
Smell – Roasted malts with a bit of coffee and chocolate hit the nose.
Taste – Roasted malts, coffee, bitter chocolate and a bit of hops. Quite light in body.
I was told about this one when Starr Hill first started getting distributed down here but for whatever reason the store by me didn’t carry this one. It is finally in stock so I picked up a couple singles. I |
Samuel Adams Winter Lager
|
Name – Samuel Adams Winter Lager
Country – United States
Type – Bock
Appearance – Poured a clear red color with a good sized white head that disappeared quickly.
Smell – Toasted malts with spices that can be picked up.
Taste – You get the spices right away; cinnamon and cloves I can pick out. There is a caramel like sweetness as well as a bit of a toasted malt flavor.
I think this is a really good winter beer. It has the spices and warming feeling like they should but isn’t overboard on those spices. I also found a recipe to |
Bière De Mars
|
Name – Bière De Mars
Country – United States
Type – Bière De Garde
Appearance – Pours a very cloudy orange color with a big, bubbly head that disappears very quickly right in front of your eyes.
Smell – You pick up the brett immediately along with some sour apple notes.
Taste – Brett, yeast, sour apple, cherries and little bit of hops.
I had never heard of the style Bière De Garde before but when I saw that it uses brett in it that it must be a sour beer. I noticed that the bottle said it was bottled in October 2008 so it is alread |
Tis the Season?
| So over the weekend my friend Lane and I got into a discussion on what are favorite season for seasonal beers is. This was intriguing as I have never really thought about this question before. Each season pretty much has their own styles that get associated with them and can make one person like a certain season over another. Spring time tends to be filled with different varieties of bocks. Summer brings us lots of freshing hefes and white ales. The fall sheds pumpkin ales and marzens upon us and then the winter time brings us spiced up ales and winter warmers. This was a tough call for me and found myself going back and forth with summer, fall and winter.

Nøgne Ø Doppelt IPA
|
Name – Nøgne Ø Doppelt IPA
Country – Finland
Type – American Double IPA
Appearance – Poured a cloudy copper color with a big slightly off white head that left lacing on the glass. I noticed bubbles rising almost through out the entire time drinking it.
Smell – Nice citrus like hop profile with some pine hints to it.
Taste – Big full citrus hop taste with some pine notes. Nice caramel malt backing that has a bit of a bread like taste to it as well.
This is a collaboration brew between Nøgne Ø and the brewmaster of Yo-Ho Brewing i |
