1851 | Falstaff | United States | Pale Lager | 1.9
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4 This was my special cheap beer during my collage days, (when i had the extra .50 cents to spend on a 12 pack). It poured a pale yellow with a ok white head that quickly disappeared. The taste was slightly less water then other cheap beers, but it had to be drank ice cold. After 4 or 5 the taste wasn't so bad. |

1852 | Heineken Special Dark | Netherlands | Dunkel / Dark Lager | 3.3
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 Drank this beer in Curacao which was also labeled as Heineken Tarwebok. It had a nice dark amber pour with a thin head that disappeared quickly. It had a nice malty aroma, the beer was slightly under carbonated. It had a nice spicey taste with clean refreshing finish. I was surprised this beer available in such a hot area but was a nice change from typical tropical beers. |

1854 | Magic Hat Demo | United States | American Black Ale | 3.4
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7 Pours very dark brown, indeed almost black in color. Quick head. Just a little foam after a couple of sips. A bit creamy on the roasty malt end. With maybe some earthy hops added to the mix. Roasty malt and mild hop bitter bite upfront. The roast takes on a nice roasted coffee quality. But the palate lacks body and gets watery from the middle to the finish. Easy to drink and enjoy. |

1855 | Contreras Extra | Belgium | Saison | 3.2
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6 This beer poured a cloudy copper color and formed a nice foamy snow white head that left latticed lace as it subsided. A medium amount of carbonation is present. An aroma of malt, herbal, grain and citrus. The flavor was of malt, bread, hops and pepper. The finish slightly bitter. Not a bad beer and typical of Belgian IPA attempts. Bottle was labeld Valeir Extra when I drank it. |

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8 This beer only available at the actual brewery which is 2 bad as this is a good beer. has a cloundy orangish pour with a big white head. It has a wonderful aroma of fresh baked bread. There is a nice spicey orange taste. Beer has a clean finish, very drinkable.

1857 | Great Lakes Loch Erie Scotch Ale | United States | Scottish Ale | 4.4
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9 This beer is currently available again as a pub exclusive at the Great Lakes Brewery. This beer is a clear brown/copper color color with a nice white head . Nice lacing too. This beer has a quite malty smell along with a mild hop presence and perhaps some fruit. The smell of alcohol is also slightly present. Has a sweet, malty taste that is well balanced with a bit of hop bitterness. Fairly sweet taste for a beer, but not overly sweet. Has a nice crisp, smooth and creamy full bodied mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Very easy to drink. Great Lakes does it again with another excellent beer and should sell this in bottles. |

1858 | Morland Old Speckled Hen | United Kingdom | Extra Special Bitter | 3.1
Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6 poured a nice dark amber, with only a little head, that quickly disappeared. It had an aroma of toffee and bitter hops. Carbonation was a little week for me as was the overall taste. Might be better in bottle or on draft in lieu of nitro can. |

1863 | Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster | United States | Imperial IPA | 3.7
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7 An excellent seasonal beer, i look forward to the time this one is brewed. pours a nice hazy orangish color, with a nice head that stays around for a while. Beer has a nice fruity aroma and taste. High ABV is hidden well so watch out, as it can live up to it's name Monster ale. Note: slightly fruitier taste on the draft version. |

1865 | Samuel Smiths Organic Cherry Fruit Beer | United Kingdom | Fruit Beer | 3.7
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7 pours a light cherry red, highly carbonated but virtually no head. A wonderful cherry aroma greats you the moment you open the bottle. It has a great cherry taste but has a bit of malt as well. The texture is smooth but has a wine cooler feel to it. The beer is refreshing and would buy it again. |

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8 pours a nice redish color with a ok head that sticks around only for a short time. a wonderful aroma of fruit and spices rise up from the bottle, sort of like the nosferatu does at night. You can taste the sweet caramel, with a nice touch of nuttyness, but overall a well balanced high hopped ale. |

1870 | Great Lakes Blackout Stout | United States | Imperial Stout | 3.5
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6 I'm not much of a stout drinker but this one isn't half bad. It pours a nice dark black, with tan head that stays around for some time. The aroma has lots of roasted malty grain with a taste of sweet malt flavor up front with lots of roasted grain, roasted coffee notes and roasted malt. watch high ABV if you drink more then one. |

1873 | Hamms | United States | Pale Lager | 2.3
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5 pours nice yellow, with a nice head that disappears quickly. Nice taste but does have a slight metallic taste when drinking from cans. Adding a little salt to this beer is a trick i use. must serve ice cold. Love their old 60's and 70's bar signs. |
