laurelwood hop monkey ipa

This ale poured well and had a very bubbly thick white head. It smelled good, bittered well, but lacked a solid flavor. After you swallowed it was gone. Not bad, but not good.

Ninkasi, Oatis Oatmeal Stout

Delicious. Tan head, thick pour, and a delicious chocolate body that just encompasses the palette. Best sipped with some air, this beer has more of a lingering flavor than an overpowering shock value. Well done.

oakshire: espresso stout

Delicious. And it passes the stout hole test, the flashlight test, and the headlight test. Dark as dark can be with a great body, dark head, and a great balance of espresso and stout. Definitly recommend this as a good well balanced coffee stout.

mactarnahan's winter humbug'r porter

Poured nicely with a bubbly dark tan head that dissipated quickly. The body was light and you could actually see through it. It was lacking in that husky porter flavor although the first sip made me feel there was more to it. Unfortunately that something more never came. As far as beer goes, its not terrible. But as far as porters go, not great.

Dicks Best Bitters: Dicks Brewery

Bitters and esb's are simply great. This bitter pours nicely with a great viscosity and clean white head. The color is a nice deep amber and the bitterness doesn't disappoint. I'd say its well balanced and fits its body well making me wish I had a few more bottles. I recommend you try it.
