Swinckels Volmaakt

I bought this beer because the bottle is bad ass, but it's not a bad little Pilsner. Light and refreshing.

Meantime India Pale Ale

Very nice British IPA. Nose is primarily floral hops. Taste is citrus with a nice long dry and bitter finish.

Surly Bitter Brewer

Decent little session beer. Nice hoppy nose with apricot and peach. Flavor is a little watery, but that is kind of expected at 4% ABV. Very drinkable.

Surly Hell

Nose is like walking through a fresh grassy meadow lined with hop vines. Taste is light and refreshing malt with hints of citrus and sweet fruit. Glad I bought a 4 pack.

Life & Limb

Big rich, full, toasty nose with hints of wood, molasses, maple, hops, and alcohol. Flavor is similar. Big beer with big flavor. Definitely one to sip and enjoy slowly.

Holy Mackerel Panic Attack

This beer is billed as a Trippel & Saison fusion and that is pretty much what you get. The nose is yeast, sweet malt, dark fruit, and a little Saison earthy funkiness. Flavor is malty sweet up front followed by the Saison earthiness. Not dry at all though, very sticky feeling, And the 10% ABV is well hidden. Enjoyable.

Bell's Octoberfest

Nose is fresh grain with a little spice. Flavor is nice and malty with slight nobel hop bitterness. Well balanced and refreshing.

Founders Breakfast Stout

This one came curtosy of my bud Ryan's (@craft_Suds) beer cellar. Not sure the vintage, but I think it is an early 2010. It is like drinking a bitter & sweet chocolate covered expresso bean. Absolutely wonderful.

Schneider Aventinus

Nose is mainly clove. Flavor is clove, banana, spice, and creamy caramel malt. Very light and refreshing for a beer so dark.

Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale

This sucker went off like a well shook bottle of champagne. I lost about 4oz to overflow. Pumpkin spice aroma. Taste is pumpkin, allspice, cinnamon, a little Carmel and a bit of a hoppy finish. Not bad

He'brew Hop Manna

Not much in the way of hoppiness, but a lot of caramel malt sweetness. Not a great IPA

Laughing Dog Rocket Dog Rye IPA

Nose is more fruity than I expected. You can definitely taste the rye, but not overwhelming. I also taste lemon peel, citrus hops and a fruity malt sweetness. Pretty decent overall.

Alba Scots Pine Ale

Wow, very different flavor. Like a spruce & pine tea mixed with a Scotch ale. I'm not quite sure what I think about it. Never had a beer that tasted quite like it. interesting.

Key West Southernmost Wheat

This claims to be brewed with key lime, so I was hoping for some nice lime flavor, but it has just the slightest hint of lime. Other than that it is a pretty standard wheat beer. Easy drinking and refreshing. I just wish they played up the key lime a little more.

Unita Crooked Line Tilted Smile Imperial Pilsner

Nose is grass and fresh hay. Taste is sweet, caramel and a ginger like flavor. Not bad by any means, but far too sweet for a traditional pilsner.

Smuttynose Homunculus

Sweet citrusy aroma orange, raisin, date and a little yeastiness. Flavor is sweet with the same flavors up front, but a nice dry finish. Nit the best Belgian golden ale I've had, but still pretty good.

Rate beer gives this a 44. I think that is horribly low. It is a pretty nice little IPA. Well balanced and easy drinking. I would give it some where in the 75ish range.

Cigar City Jose Marti Porter on French Oak

Too much Oak in my opinion. The nose has a nice chocolate maltiness, but that goodness is overshadowed in the flavor by the French Oak. Not bad, just a little too oaky for me. I had a little spill over in the photo. Oops.
