254 Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen Germany Marzen / Oktoberfest 3.3

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

Pours out a clear gold color with a massive cream color head. The aroma is all malt. The mouthfeel has some body to it not thin but not thin, the taste is pretty thin for a a stout driver like me. It is whatI would expect for a average ordinary October Feast beer but disappointing for Ayinger product.

256 Founders Breakfast Stout United States Coffee Stout 4.0

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

This stout pours out 100% black. The aroma is mild and mostly just light hints of chocolate and just a wee hint of coffee. The mouthfeel is solid but not thick. The first two sips had a hint of hops but not bad. As it warmed up it begin to smooth out and taste like cream and coffee. It's not very complex which is shocking because it really hides the 60 IBU. Which is my thresh hold for hop content.

258 Leinenkugel Orange Shandy United States Fruit Beer 2.7

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

Pours out a very murky cloudy off yellow color. The aroma is like the smell of Tang. The mouthfeel is very thin but quite refreshing. The taste is orange flavored wheat. This is not a beer for those of us who enjoy thick complex beers. But it's a good one to drink to quince our thirst when it's really hot.

259 Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager United States Fruit Beer 2.9

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

Pours out a clear gold color. The aroma is of light strawberry. When I poured it out I noticed there was sitiment stuck on the bottom that hadnt come out even though I shook the the hell out of the last two ounces. It just tasted like a weak wheat beer. I got a stick and scratched the sentiment of the bottom and poured it into my glass. Now the got a glass of strawberry Nestles Quick with wheat. Really smells good also.

261 Avery White Rascal United States Witbier 3.4

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

Pours out a clear yellow whith a massive heat but be sure to shake up the last two ounces in the bottle. To get out all the sweet yeast in the bottom. The aroma mild malt and note of lemon. The mouthfeel was thin until I shook up the bottom now it's got body. The taste is very mild, clean and refreshing. Surpringly good for a White Ale. This would be a good beer to give someone who drinks major brewery swill. To teach them what good beer should taste like.

262 Leinenkugel Oktoberfest Lager United States Marzen / Oktoberfest 3.1

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

Pours out a clear copper color with a good tan head. The aroma is light and of spice and malt. The mouthfeel is just a tad above average. The taste is mild and clean but lacking in flavor like all beers I've had from Leinenkugel. It's not bad but should be a better beer for someone who doesn't drink complex beer.

263 Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale United States American Black Ale 2.8

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

Pours out extremely dark brown almost black with a massive lingering tan head. The aroma is mostly of hops. The mouthfeel is rich and thick. The taste is good but all I can describe is the hops. It's a little bitter but not so bad I can't drink it. Not something I would be interested in drinking again. It's so hoppy I wound up pouring out 3/4 of the bomber.

266 Samuel Adams Fat Jack Double Pumpkin United States Spiced Beer 4.2

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

Oh my lord , I'm not even going to go through the normal routine of rating. I've drank about 40 pumpkin beers in the last month. And this is one is nuts. Sam Adams has hit a home run with this one. Warlock is fantastic & Good Gourd are fantasistic but this is real pumpkin !

Pours out a extremely dark brown color with a red hue & massive tan foamy head. The aroma is of figs , raisins and butterscotch. The mouthfeel gets thicker as it warms up.

269 Mission Dark Seas Imperial Stout United States Imperial Stout 4.0

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

Pours out 100% black with zero head. In all fairness I'm going to rate this slowly because I let it set in the freezer for almost two hours. As it begins to warm up I can smell the complexity. The sucker poured out like a can of oil. The mouthfeel is very thick after 5 minutes of warming up. After 10 minutes the taste is not complex but it's very heavy. Just tons and tons of malt blended hops and bitter chocolate. Note to myself ,this bastard just gets better as it warms up don't ice down again.

270 Ballast Point Sea Monster Imperial Stout United States Imperial Stout 4.1

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

Pours out like black sludge with a nice lingering tan head. The aroma is sweet smeeling toffe. The mouthfeel is a bit bitter but not bad. The taste is definitely of alcohol along with coffee, roasted malt and some chocolate.the IBU Is 65 which is the highest I've been able to enjoy so far. It's better as it warms up out of the ice chest. Or the 10% abv is starting to kick in.

Pours out 100% black and a light won't shine through it. The aroma is heavy of roasted malt. The is wonderfully thick. The taste is very smooth even though it's not complex. Mostly tastes of roasted malt some coffee & chocolate and a hint of citrus. There was no head so I don't give it a 10 on appearance. But boy this sure is a good smooth imperial stout.

275 Flying Dog In-Heat Wheat United States Hefeweizen 3.1

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

The first drink of this was pretty average. Then I shook the hell out of last two ounces in the bottle. That was the trick, stirring up all the yeast in the bottom. Still a pretty thin beer but now I can taste banana and the cloves.
