Beer 7 | Colette Farmhouse Ale

Rating: 7.5/10 ABV: 7.3% Price: $10.00 (6 Pack) Fruitier than I was expecting; Sweeter. Amazing aroma. Has a slight tang, which I was trying to avoid, but it’s actually not bad. Aftertaste is a little gross. It’s sticky, not clean. Hayato says tastes like I just ate a bunch of fruit skins, and as per usual he’s articulated what I never could. I…

Beer 6 | Sarah’s Special Peach Ale

Rating: 8/10 ABV: 4.5% Price: GIFT! (6 pack) ***Was gifted a beer for the blog by the exquisite Sarah Curci! THANKS SARAH*** Not bad! Smooth, delicious when cold, peachy enough to taste, but not so peachy to be syrupy nastiness. Awesome as a starter, palate cleansing, clean finish. Augmented as it was a gift for the blog from the flower…

Beer 5 | Dirty Bastard

Dirty Bastard: Scotch Style Ale Rating: 8/10 ABV: 8.5% Price: $12.00 (6 pack) Solid beer, a little heavy. Strength on point, smooth, but a bit bitter. Great to compliment a meal, not so good as a party beer. Aftertaste is like you peeled a grapefruit with your teeth. I’m sauced, on #3 feeling nice, have some concern about drinking a light…

Son of a Baptist: Coffee Stout Coffee Stout with Cacao Nibs (Made with Local Coffee) Rating: 7.5/10 ABV: 8.0% Price: $12.00 (6 pack) Hayato says “Tastes like coffee that you spilled a beer into”. I agree. A rich beer, thick, lush. The way it sips feels like a milkshake. Strong coffee aroma, which is a beautiful touch, and the strength…

Beer 3 | Honey Orange Tripel

Honey Orange Tripel Belgian Style Ale Brewed with wild African honey & fresh ground Seville orange peel. Rating: 9/10 ABV: 10.0% Price: $14.00 (6 pack) Hell yes. Strong, smooth, not harsh. Needs to be FREEZING for best taste, gets too fruity, too rich once it warms up. First notes spicy orange sweetness, no real notes of honey detectable. Hayato puts…

Beer 2 | Eye of the Hawk

Eye of the Hawk Imperial Ale Rating: 8/10 ABV: 8.0% Price: $8.95 (6 pack) A solid beer, excellent go to choice in terms of taste and potential for littedness. Don’t know much about imperial ales, but reminiscent of a lager. High ABV, without compromising taste. Drink this COLD though, need to. Definitely looking into trying more imperial ales to compare.
