51 Kasteel Kriek Belgium Fruit Beer 4.3

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

Open it and it pours out blood red. The smell is like cherry Hi-C and the first drink will give you a shock to the pallet. I was expecting a beer not a malt flavored fruit juice. The mouthfeel is just a little sour but fun to drink. This is more like a cider than a beer but quite tastey

This is a true black beauty with no head. The aroma is very light & make fun of me but I smell malt and meat, yes I wrote meat. The mouthfeel is very thick like 40 weight oil with just a note of bitterness. The flavor is rich malt,coffee and chocolate. Really makes me angry I only bought one bottle but I will buy more.

This pours pitch black that when you hold the glass up to the sun. Not a beam of light shines through. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. The taste is of malt and cold coffee and that's a good thing.

59 Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break United States Imperial Porter 4.3

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

Pours out 100% pitch black with just a lacing of a head. The aroma is cool I've never smelled almond in a beer before. That and I can smell vanilla and alchol. The mouthfeel is creamy and thick. The taste is very complex and mixed with chocolate,almond,coffee and vanilla. High ABV is covered well by the flavor blend. This one gets better as it warms up.

Pours out EXTREMLY dark brown with a massive tan foam head. The aroma is of sweet dark fruits. The mouthfeel is smooth rich and thick. The taste is really good but not $30 worth. Wish I could have it for $15-$20. This does sort of remind me of Goose Island Black Friday bourbon barrel.

63 Clown Shoes Pecan Pie Porter United States Porter 4.2

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 8

WOW ! This beer is so black a light can't shine through it. It's a crying shame this is only a seasonal beer. Clown Shoes needs to brew this as a year round product. I have to drive a 100 mile round trip just to buy this product. And have gladly made the trip three times.

64 Charles Wells Banana Bread Beer United Kingdom Fruit Beer 4.2

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

Great beer that it was afraid to try because of the banana label. I'm sure glad I got past my fears because is really special. I smoke a lot of cigars and have yet to find one that doesn't pair well with this brew. I mostly drink porters/stouts and ales and still this is a treat to drink.

65 Clown Shoes Vampire Slayer United States Imperial Stout 4.2

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

Another great brew from Clown Shoes. And this may be my second favorite Imperial Stout I've ever drank. 100% black with zero bitterness and great flavor. It's hard to find at my closest retailer I guess because it's so good they are always sold out.

66 Ayinger Ur-Weisse Germany Dunkel Weizen 4.2

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

This got poured into my glass and it looks cloudy and unfiltered. The aroma is sweet so I was expecting a fruiting taste. It is in fact fruity tasting but it's not sweet or over powering. This is a very refreshing beverage that has solid beer taste. There is zero citrus bitterness and drinks very smoothly.

Pure black stout that I drank out of the bottle, all four of them. Just a very slight note of bitterness. Made me a Green Flash fan. I will buy more of these plus try some of their other brews.

68 Schneider Weisse Tap 6: Aventinus Weizen Doppelbock Germany Weizenbock 4.2

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

I drank a version of this beer called Tap 6 so I'm not sure it's the same beer because the label was white. What I can tell you is the Tap 6 is very dark brown and only two shades from being black. It smells and taste of banana bad plum. The taste is wonderful and so is the mouth feel.

70 Unibroue La Fin du Monde Canada Abbey Tripel 4.2

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

Have a glass ready to pour this sucker or you will be chugging it out of the bottle.i popped the top and didn't have a glass ready and it started foaming out of the bottle.I had a good head rush from the high abv by the time I got it poured in a glass. Now for my review, out of the glass it's cloudy and burnt orange in color. It taste like a Belgium beer not a beer from Canada. Very thick mouthfeel and very smooth withs tons of malt flavor.

72 Tripel Karmeliet Belgium Abbey Tripel 4.2

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

Holy smokes I think these monks have got beer figured out. Pours out a MASSIVE foamy head over a cloudy yellow body. The aroma is all sweet grains. The mouthfeel is thick and rich. The flavor is right on the edge of starting to have sweetness but it's probably from the high quality grains.

73 Gouden Carolus Cuvee Van De Keizer Blauw/Blue Belgium Belgian Strong Ale 4.2

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

I'm staring to think Belgium brews the best beer in the world. Pours out acloudy and very dark brown. The aroma is not real special but the mouthfeel is like mud. The taste is very complex with taste of fruit,figs ,spices and malt. My bottle was from the year 2013. And I wish I had the will power to put a bottle for a couple of year.this one is sweet enough to be a Barleywine.

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

Wow I only bought this because I never had it. I not only didn't know it was a milk stout. I didn't know it was from the Caribbean islands. It's solid black with a tan head. The aroma is malt and chocolate. The mouthfeel is very smooth and thick. The taste is of chocolate, malt and sweet lactose. This is a very fine beer the best I've ever had out of the islands.
