2526 Russian River Sanctification United States Belgian Ale 3.7

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

A golden appearance. A musty attic and vinegar type aroma. The flavor is vinegary as well with some sour fruit and swiss cheese? Well thats what my notes. And my notes would never lie, yeah right. Anyway this one was funky and dry but good.

2527 OFallon Smoked Porter United States Smoked Ale 3.9

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

This one poured a solid black color. The aroma is faint chocolate and a lot of smokiness. The flavor is a little sweet but contains a nice round of bacon, pepperoni, and smoked sausages. Good stuff right here. Thanks for the recommendation drewseslu and thanks for bringing to Noogfest Lilkem.

2530 Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter United States Imperial Porter 4.0

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

A dark black appearance with a beige head. A strong coffee and chocolate aroma. This sucker was very carbonated, in fact the cork flew straight up in the air when opened. The flavor is well balanced with a bitter sweet flavor. Roasted coffee beans, chocolate, and licorice are present. Great beer.

2531 Horse Piss Beer United States Helles / Dortmunder 2.3

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

A clear yellow appearance. The aroma and flavor seem to be almost non existent, possibly due to the onsluaght of barley wines, impy stouts, and other belgians previously sampled at Noogfest. Some corny and lemon notes are present. A step up from horse piss. Heeee! Haaaaaw!

2534 McNeills Imperial Stout United States Imperial Stout 3.8

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

The labels on McNeills look like they were printed with a dot matrix printer from 1986 using a black and white version of DOS Paint. Anyway a black appearance with virtually no head. The flavor is quite bitter with a sort of oily mouthfeel. The coffee flavors stand out in this beer. A little one-dimensional for an impy stout but a good beer nonetheless.

2535 Pony Express Original Wheat United States American Wheat 3.3

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

A cloudy dark yellow appearance. A lemon and bubblegum aroma. The flavor is very crisp with a doughy presence. Some cloves, lemons, limes, and wheat bread in the flavor. I dont like American Wheats but this is a good example of the style. This would be great for a hot day picnic or such. Not bad at all. Sampled from a Playboy chalice.

2536 Falls Midnight Porter United States Porter 3.5

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

It poured a nice dark color with a good beige head. The aroma is espresso like with some notes of milk chocolate. The flavor is quite bitter like biting into coffee beans. Some dark chocolate notes in the background. A little light on the palate is the only complaint I can find. Overall a good beer.

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

Pitch black appearance. A strong coffee and charcoal aroma. A syrupy presence in the flavor but it seemed very dry with some burnt coffee, licorice, and dark chocolate. Not a bad stout.

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

A dark golden to orange appearance. A slight malty and bready aroma. The flavor is somewhat dry with a hint of caramel and sugar. Tastes like a poorly made oktoberfest style beer. Not really all that bad at all for what it is.

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

A lemon and corn aroma. I dont want corn aromas in my saison por favor. The flavor is really sweet and not complex in the least. Some lemons, corn, hay, and bananas. It was rather thin also. This just wasnt good.

2545 Central Waters Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout United States Imperial Stout 4.3

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

A chocolate, charcoal. and whiskey filled aroma. This one has a very big whiskey flavor. Some dark chocolate and coffee showing. The alcohol shows through on this one. It could stand to mellow some but its still very good.

2546 New Glarus Yokel United States Kellerbier 3.5

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

A cloudy yellow appeance with a moderate white head. A faint grassy aroma with some hay and citrus. The flavor is like chewin on some straw right there paw. A slight citrus flavor exists. A very dry and dusty finish. Some bready notes in there as well. This style is weird but this is a good hot weather quaffer anyway.

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

A golden appearance with a moderate head. A bit of lemons and corn show in the flavor. A rather malty finish. Nothing exciting about it unless you count the label.

2548 Beach Bum Blonde Ale United States Blonde Ale 2.8

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

On tap at the BW3. This would be perfect for a beach bum I imagine. A golden color with a moderate head. The flavor is a lot of hay and some citrus in the background. The finish is rather malty. Nothing to get excited about but ok for summer fare.

2549 Tilt United States Fruit Beer 2.5

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

This poured a bright orange color with a fizzy head. Just picture a Sunkist or something. An faint orange and herbal aroma. It smells like a soda too. The flavor is sweet and sugary with artifical orange flavor similar to Tang. This has hops? Could have fooled me. Overall it doesnt taste bad but then again I like an orange soda from time to time. Leave this one to the zima drinking sorority chicks.

2550 The Duck-Rabbit Amber Ale United States Amber Ale 2.6

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

A burnt caramel and nutty aroma with just a hint of dishwashing detergent? A dark amber to almost brown appearance. Some annoying burnt toast flavor mixed in with caramel and figs. Some metallic notes in the finish. Very watery and flavorless. I was expecting more as Ive been impressed with this brewery thus far.
