2476 Middle Ages Dragon Slayer Imperial Stout United States Imperial Stout 3.7

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

A black appearance with a beige head. A chocolate and dark fruit aroma. The flavor contains a lot of chocolate, raisins, and coffee. The finish is somewhat bitter and it hides the alcohol very well. Overall this was pretty good.

2477 Rogue FestiveAle (Saison) United States Saison 2.7

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 3 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

A golden appearance with a large head. The aroma sucks on this beer, it smells like a Colt 45. A very mild beer with some faint citrus and a lot of spice and alcohol in the flavor. Rogue should be embarrased of this crap especially considering what they are capable of.

Pucker up! A dark amber appearance with a large head. The aroma consists of vinegar, cherries, and oak. The flavor is really really sour with some funk, vinegar, cherries, sour apples. The mouthfeel is quite carbonated. Damn this was good!

I dont like Trippels that much usually but bloody right this was good. A cloudy yellow appearance with a large white head. The aroma is similar to grapefruit juice with a hint of lemon. The beer is very smooth with some lemons, mild pepper spice, and alcohol showing up. The mouthfeel is slightly carbonated and creamy.

2483 5 Seasons GFY IIPA United States Imperial IPA 4.0

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

A dark copper color with a large head. The aroma is malty with some grapefruit and pine showing through. The flavor is rather bitter but has a dark malt presence to balance it out. On the citrus side I get alot of grapefruit and orange, on the malty side I get alot of caramel and some honey. Reminds me of Big Hoppy Monster but maybe a little less extreme. A fine beer.

A light colored beer with the standard yellow appearance and little head. A nice malt presence in the flavor and little bit on the sweet side. This is good for a lawnmower beer.

2488 North Coast Acme California Brown Ale United States Brown Ale 2.4

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

This was horrible. A dark amber color with some bleach in the nose. This smelled off and tasted so as well. A rough mouthfeel with some nuttiness and caramel present. The aftertaste was watery and dry. Was this a bad bottle? Seems odd seeing how this has only been in the store for a week, gross!

2494 SKA Buster Nut Brown Ale United States Brown Ale 2.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 2 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 4

WTF is with the aroma on this. It smells like I took Rover for a walk to do his business and I bent over to smell the results. Worst aroma ever! A reddish brown appearance with a light head. The flavor contains some caramel and a hint of dark chocolate. Watery thin palate. Despite the cool gangster graffiti looking label, this beer is worthless.

A dark amber color. The aroma is slightly vinegary with a strong raspberry and blackberry flavor. The flavor is well balanced with a doughy presence. Some blackberries and nutty in the taste. A little thin on the palate but overall not a bad fruit beer.

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

A very strong punch in the nose raspberry aroma. An amber appearance with a moderate head. The flavor is a raspberry beret, the kind you’d find in a second hand store. Some wheat flavors also exist. There isnt much subtley with the fruit. The mouthfeel is quite carbonated. Overall if you dig raspberries this is it!

2500 Avery Mephistopheles Stout United States Imperial Stout 4.7

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

Hell yeah thanks for bringing this one to share LilKem. The aroma is fantastic with some chocolate, raisins, dates, and licorice. The flavor is really sweet and velvety with a strong dark fruit presence. I taste raisins, chocolate, licorice, marshmellows, and molasses. Give this one a few years to mellow out and it will be perfect. But its still one of the better stouts Ive had however its nothing you would want to sip on all night.
