  Fearless Scottish Ale

  Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

  its a good go-to beer when i want something a little more ample. Nice to have in the fridge and nice to have out of the can. Not too heavy i like the balance here. its refreshing, its malt forward. Caramel comes to mind. A little bit milk chocolatey, a little bit toasty biscuity. notes of Hazelnut but maybe thats a stretch

  Smell and taste most notably like cocoa powder. Big chocolate flavors, fudgy but light on the palate. This went down real easy and I figured it for about 7-8% abv. Bready malts and leafy green hops add to flavor. Some dry nutty tastes on the back end with hints of spiced fruit like apples, plums.

  Erie Brewing Derailed Black Cherry Ale

  Crisp and light textured, nice play of cherry flavor wasnt overwhelming and made for a good refreshing beer with dinner.. Slight tartness reminded me of Berliner weisse style beer and I likened this with Festina Peche (Dogfish Head). Little bit of a tannic finish with some hints of oak, maybe wheat, otherwise just cherries and ale!

  Bison Honey Basil Ale

  Basil complements hops and adds a nice 'green' taste. Med body, crisp, good honey character, much better/brighter honey flavor than other 'honey' brews... Not a lot of basil in the aroma, i find it more late in the aftertaste. Minty/apple flavors (its basil!)... Simple, actually very clean tasting beer, not bad, not much else to say

  careful with this- 2nd bottle and they both exploded when opened. I managed to save most of this one, it was like a science project gone mad. Alive and kickin with yeast, very bubbly texture... Tastes of raisins, figs, and those root beer candies. Sweet and big spice flavor to balance, smoky cardomom, spicy ginger, brown sugar sticky buns. SPicy brown and lots of flavor.
