Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA

Creamier than the standard double ipas. I think its pretty well balanced between malt and pine from the hops.

Not bad, but the hops don't stand out enough in this for me. I'd like something a little more bitter.


Bonus Mandy Thoughts:
Mmm Hmm [shakes head up and down]

Orval

A little too bubbly for my taste.

Nice subtle taste. Pretty balanced. Mostly a fruity taste from the yeast.

The bottle was aged about a year (thanks harris teeter for the hard work!)


Bonus Mandy thoughts:
Its dancing on my tongue!

Great Divide Espresso Oak Aged Yeti

Hmm. Strong coffee taste (shocking) with a slight bitterness.

I don't get a lot of oak imparted taste here. It's still a nice stout though.

Victory Wild Devil

Well this was a little difficult to drink. The carbonation was out of control, so I never bothered to take a picture.

Quite different from the other belgian ipas from Stone and Flying Dog. Brewed with wild yeast, and it definitely tastes like it. Has a taste of dirty socks.

Its interesting, but I'm not sure I'd buy it again.

Troegs The Flying Mouflan

I really like this. Not as syrupy sweet as most barleywines.
