2451 Victory Moonglow United States Weizenbock 3.9

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

Aroma is wheat, grapes, lemons, bananas and caramel. Apperance is a murky brown with a moderate off white head and fair lacing. Flavor is syrupy with a very strong grape presence. A good kick of sour fruit, banana, wheat, and tart apples. The finish is thick on the tounge with a moderate alcohol burn. A nice beer and something to be sipped on slowly. I've heard of an infection problem on the best by 8/20/04 bottles but my bottle seems fine. And if its a bacteria causing the pleasent sourness, then rock on bottle infection!

2452 Victory Old Horizontal United States American Barleywine 4.3

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

On tap at the brewery. A dark amber color with a moderate head. A good syrupy texture with some orange, oak, cherry, molasses in the flavor. A slightly bitter aftertaste. A warming effect from the alcohol. A nice barleywine.

2453 Victory Prima Pils United States Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 3.4

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

A nice pils but not in the league of many european pilsners Ive had. Flavor is hoppy with little complexity to back it up. It does not offer the creamy texture I like in a good pilsner. A good beer considering the style but not anything I will seek out.

2454 Victory St. Victorious United States Doppelbock 3.8

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

A reddish brown appearance. A caramel, chocolate, and bready aroma. A rather light body but some good flavors which include figs, chocolate, caramel, and raisins. Not much of the alcohol can be detected. Overall a nice one.

2455 Victory Storm King Imperial Stout United States Imperial Stout 3.9

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

A black appearance with a beige head. The aroma is grapes and chocolate. The flavor is quite sour with some chocolate, raisins, and smoke. Not sure but this may be a little overrated. I enjoyed it but not as good as many of the other Impy Stouts Ive had.

2456 Victory Summer Love Ale United States Blonde Ale 3.2

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

This poured a golden color with a white head. The aroma contains lemons, hay, vanilla. The flavor is rather sweet with some citrus showing up. For a blonde ale this is rather refreshing. Good deal!

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

Cloudy yellow with white head. The aroma is faint lemons, banana, and clove. Not much to it. Flavor is a bit sour with lemons mostly and some bread and bananas. Overall this was ok and works alright on a hot summer day.

2458 Victory Swing Session Saison United States Saison 3.7

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

Cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is a soapy detergent lemon thing going on. It smells like Orval! This is very dry yet yeasty with a sharp lemon flavor that is slightly sour but very bitter and dry. Oh I see what you are doing Victory you are trying to make an Orval clone. Congrats you did just that!

2459 Victory Throw Back Lager United States Pale Lager 2.7

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

This one was a dead goose next to the V12 and Old Horizontal. Well its pretty much standrard issue stuff. Clear yellow appearance with some corn and a little bit of malt. This exists to keep the barflys playing pool happy and drunk. Its the cash cow beer. No thanks.

2460 Victory V-10 United States Belgian Strong Ale 4.1

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

Bottled Sept 2002....I will start by saying this did age well. A murky brown appearance with a moderate sized head. The aroma contained some citrus, caramel, brown sugar, and alcohol. The flavor is quite sour with some cherries, lemons, brown sugar, and alcohol. Nothing I could drink alot of but still a nice beer!

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

A very malty aroma. No head on this one at all. A yeasty flavor with a sugary orange taste. The alcohol is present in the aftertaste. Overall its good in small doses.

2462 Victory Whirlwind Witbier United States Witbier 3.6

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

This was a pretty good example of the style. A cloudy yellow appearance with a large head. A big lemon presence with some banana flavor. It had a doughy feel to it. I taste some wheat in there as well. Refreshing on a hot day. Good deal.

2463 Victory Wild Devil United States Wild Ale 3.4

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

This poured a copper color with a beige head. The aroma contains caramel, oranges, and grapefruit. And ASS. Seriously it smells like an ass. Others at the tasting agreed. The flavor is funky with some vinegar, yeasty flavors, citrus and caramel. It sure tasted better than it smelled. Overall strange but pretty good.

2464 Viking Big Swede United States Imperial Stout 4.3

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

A pitch black pour with a tan head. A milk chocolate, charcoal, and coffee aroma. The flavor is very smooth with almost no alcohol flavor present. Some milk chocolate, malted milk balls (Im tasting that alot lately?) and raisins. I agree with the RICH statement in the commercial description. A sweet aftertaste. This would rock with some dessert!

2465 Vikingernes Mjød Denmark Mead 4.5

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

The aroma was apples, honey, and christmas spices. The flavor is very sweet with some honey, almonds, spices, apples, and caramel. This is like a dessert beverage that you could not drink very much of. Too bad they don’t send this one across the pond. Awesome!!!

2466 Vuuve Belgium Witbier 1.9

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 3 | Flavor: 2 | Overall: 4

Aroma is floral with some bread, lemons, and oranges. Apperance is a murky yellowish/orange. The flavor is an overkill in the spice department. A very sour citrus fruit flavor with a hot pepper/tobassco spice to it. Is that vinegar I taste? This is the Cave Creek Chili Beer of Wits. This has to be one of the weirdest drinking experiences Ive ever had. Overall its just to spicy to be enjoyable. Blech!

2467 Vyskovske Pivo Export Bier Czech Republic Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 3.2

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

A random find in my neck of the woods. A cloudy yellow appearance with a white head. The aroma was quite floral with some grassy notes and lemons. The flavor was slightly bitter but mostly malty with some creamed corn, lemons, and herbal notes. This one reminds me of Budvar which I like. Overall a nice pils!

2468 Wandering Aengus Wanderlust United States Cider 3.0

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

This poured a golden color with little head. The aroma is vinegar and apples and that’s about it. The flavor has a slight vinegar presence but is mostly just watery with some apples present. Overall nice try but no dice with this one.

2469 Warka Jasne Pelne (Warka Beer) Poland Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 2.3

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

Well it wasnt horrible. I though I would start out by saying something nice. Sampled from the can it smelled like dishwashing detergent?. I detected some grassy hay flavors and a bit of orange. Its not total swill just a bland lager really.

2470 Warsteiner Oktoberfest Germany Marzen / Oktoberfest 2.1

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 5

A dark golden apperance with a large soapy head. The aroma contains some lemons, corn and some strange cooked vegetable deal in there. The flavor contains some maltiness, cooked corn, lemons and more off flavors. Lots of diacetyl present in this beer. Beginning to end this beer sucks.

2471 Warsteiner Premium Dunkel Germany Dunkel / Dark Lager 3.3

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

Appearance is a darkish/red. Flavor is clean with a slight sourness and a distinctive yeastiness. Some bitterness but not very full bodied. This is not bad for a mass produced European beer.

2472 Warsteiner Premium Verum Germany Bohemian / Czech Pilsener 2.9

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

A good lager especially for a widely available lager, a huge jump from BudMillerCoors but nothing to go crazy over, a treat for someone who really loves lagers, which is not me.

This poured a dark orange with a white head. Aroma contains some citrus, perfume, and alcohol. The flavor contains some oranges, pine, lemons, and grapefruit. Some sweetness is present. This is one big badass beer. Aftertaste is bittersweet and boozy. Overall kick arse.

2474 Wedge Derailed Hemp Ale United States Spiced Beer 3.6

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

This poured a brown color with a white head. The aroma contains some caramel, herbal notes, and a bit of citrus. The flavor is both hoppy and malty with caramel and nutty flavor on one side and a citrus bite on the other. All hemp beers I’ve had are a little bit bitter, this is no exception. Overall a pretty good beer.

This poured a dark yellow color with a moderate head. The aroma contained pine, perfume, and oranges. The flavor was rather bitter with more oranges showing up. The malt presence was certainly there. Overall a nice IPA.
