76 Dogfish Head World Wide Stout United States Imperial Stout 3.4

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

This is a powerful brew, but the alcohol aroma is too strong. It dominates the roasted malt and coffee aromas, and the sweetness in the taste is over the top.

77 Southern Tier Imperial Gemini United States Imperial IPA 3.4

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

Big bottle, big alcohol, make for a heavy beer. A solid orange gold beer with a thin white head and a piney aroma with some citrus and bread malts. The taste was uberhoppy, with a little of the alcohol being noticeable. I liked it, but not for an everyday beer.

78 Three Floyds Alpha King Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 3.4

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

The recent 2nd place finisher in an APA tasting I attended at a friend's house who's a BJCP member. I was not a fan of this beer. Great colour, great body, but the aroma and flavour were all over the place, not a pleasant mix. A hoppier aroma and flavour would have been nice! Bottle was only 3 weeks old so age should not have been an issue.

79 Firestone Walker 13 United States Strong Ale 3.4

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

Recently tried this beer and was not impressed, quite boozy in my opinion. The other aromas and flavours suffered as a result. While I've heard great things aboput this brewery, none of the beers I've tried are anything special to me.

80 Foothills Brewing Sexual Chocolate Imperial Stout United States Imperial Stout 3.4

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

I was really hoping to like this beer, but again, it was thinner than I was hoping, not as chocolatey as I was hoping, and a little too boozy for my liking. Put those together and it's a hard beer to love.

81 Firestone Walker Abacus United States American Barleywine 3.4

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

One of the problems with the craft beer revolution is that beer is becoming hard liquor instead of beer, and it is killing beer for me. I heard a lot of good things about this beer but I want a beer, not bourbon, and there is too much of a bourbon character in this.

82 Shiner Bohemian Black Lager (formerly Shiner 97 Bohemian Black Lager) United States Schwarzbier 3.4

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

It pours black, that's better than the last Schwarzbier I had can say. The nose is very malty with vanilla and nuts. Taste is good, but I prefer my schwarzbier's a tad sweeter up front.

83 Magic Hat #9 United States Fruit Beer 3.4

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

The beer is clear, amber in color, and topped with a frothy white head that wants to last for days and days. The nose is quite fruity with citrus and tropical scents, hops are somewhat earthy. Flavor is on the sickly sweet and syrupy side, almost cringeworthingly sweet

Beer is a hazy golden brown. Head is huge, rocky, and lasts. Aroma is light fruits, grass, yeast, and citrus. Mouthfeel is average. Flavor is grainy, sweet, and has a bitter finish. Alcohol was nioticeable.

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

An amber pour, mainly clear, topped with a white head that is foamy and lingers. Aroma is grass and citrus, with some weak pine scents as well. Average mouthfeel. Flavor is typical with strong pine and citrus notes leading to a hoppy aftertaste.

89 Kulmbacher Mönchshof Kellerbier Germany Kellerbier 3.4

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

The beer is a light amber color, slightly murky, and topped with a white bubbly head. The aroma is caramel, light grass, weak herbal hops, and yeast. The flavor lends towards the caramel side of the spectrum with the grassy flavours, and the hops, hidden. Quite good.

90 Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock United States Bock 3.3

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

I was not thrilled with this beer. It looks nice and all (brown with black hints) but the bitter dark chocolate aroma and taste were not appealing to me.

91 Rivertown Brewing Wit Beer United States Witbier 3.3

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

I can't believe I'm the first to try this. One of my co-workers found out that my bf and I like trying different beers so she brought me about 100 from a cross country trip that her husband surprised her with. The Wit is a cloudy orange gold with a white head. Citrusy tones dominate the aroma with some wheat and clove present. Refreshing and clean tasting, plenty of citrus and spice.

92 Adler Bräu Stettfeld Stöpflder Zwickel Germany Kellerbier 3.3

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

A friend recently visited Germany (she's German so Germany is the world's greatest beer country to her) and brought me back about 50 German beers to try...this is the first. A 500ml swingtop bottle (never felt that swingtops were 'clean') that pours out a slightly cloudy gold beer. Plenty of bready aromas and a touch of hops. It tastes smooth and refreshing, yet slightly watered down. The malt imparts a sweet flavor, almost honey-like, but could be stronger.

93 Schlafly Pale Ale United States English Pale Ale 3.3

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

This is a good beer, but a boring beer. A copper colored ale. Hops and fruit are in the aroma and some malt. Crisp on the palate. The flavor is a clean crisp pale ale with no off tastes whatsoever.

94 Founders Imperial Stout United States Imperial Stout 3.3

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

Just an average stout with nothing to really make it stand out. A bit on the expensive side if truth be told. Motor oil black with a tan head and a lot of coffee in the taste and smell. A bit plain.

95 Firestone Walker Parabola United States Imperial Stout 3.3

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

2010 and 2011 vintages. A decent stout that relies too much on the barrel and not enough on the beer. Take away the barrel and the beer is rather a simple stout with coffee, chocolate and vanilla flavours. Slightly thin as well.

96 512 IPA United States IPA 3.3

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

Found on tap at the Ginger Man. Another decent beer from these Texas folks. The color is darker than expected, but the pineyness was definitely present alnog with some malt. Far from outstanding, but quite quaffable as the bartender said.

97 Firestone Walker 14 United States Strong Ale 3.3

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

Another beer that doesn't have the beery qualities I am looking for, again too much emphasis put on barrel aging. An excellent looking beer, but the aroma and the flavour suffer with the reliance on barrel aging skills rather than making a good beer.

98 Orgasmica Porter United States Imperial Porter 3.3

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

Dark brown draught, light brown cap, good lacing. Roasted malt, dark chocolate, and coffee comprise the aroma. Palate is full and rich. Flavor is rich dark chocolate, some caramel, and a bitter coffee ending.

99 Hacker-Pschorr Anno 1417 Germany Kellerbier 3.3

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

The beer is light gold in color with amber hues, lightly hazed, and a frothy off-white head which lasts into the next week. Lots of grains and herbs on the nose with hints of light citrus, and yeast. A bit thin on the tongue. The taste is grains, light herbal hops, a weak yeasty note.

100 Wychwood Hobgoblin United Kingdom English Strong Ale 3.3

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

The beer pours a clear rust color with an off-white head which lingers for a while. Nutty malt, fresh bread, and caramel make up most of the aroma with light hints of yeast and hops. The flavor is grainy malts, some light toasted nuts, and a yeasty finish. Bitterness is nowhere to be tasted in the finish.
