Evolution - Menagerie # 8

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

High carbonation that still didn't really die off even after an hour or so. Carbonation initially masked a lot of the flavor. The wine barrels definitely left their mark. I'm not sure I'd really be able to identify the base beer if it wasn't on the bottle (belgian dark ale). Moderately to really sweet. The aftertaste is like a watered down red wine. Nice enough, but I think I liked the Victory porter aged in wine barrels a lot better (and it was about $4 cheaper too). 

Evolution - Lot #6 Double IPA

I'm beginning to think every brewery can make an IPA like this if they want. Average bitterness for the style. Just sweet enough. More grapefruity/sharp than tropical or piney. Very enjoyable. I think I like it better than the Hopslam I had last night on tap (gasp). Very good. I'd get it again.

Lots of allspice in the aroma, but it doesn't taste terrible in the beer. It actually works with the belgian yeast. I'd never get a six pack of this, but one is perfectly fine.

Evolution - Lot #3 IPA

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Mandy picked up a six pack of this because the Two Hearted Ale was overpriced. Its a decent enough IPA. Blah blah blah. Slightly bitter, not overly sweet. Just misses the mark somehow and is not overly memorable.
