Red Oak Ale

DSC03404

This was one of the first non-macro brew beers I really liked and would go out of my way to drink. I don't think I'd had it though in probably 7 years. A big thank you to Newton for picking up a twelve pack for our vacation.

Still holds up pretty well. Slightly sweet, bready taste. Not much else going on. Easy drinking.

Great Divide Hibernation Ale

I like this about ten times better than Founder's Curmudgeon Old Ale (at least the non-aged version).

Nice malty flavor, but the hops really shine. Slightly piney and bitter.

Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout

I'm still bitter they changed this from a 6 pack to a 4 pack last year and left the price essentially the same. I boycotted buying it last year.

I caved in this year.

Still has a nice roasted malt and coffee bitterness to it.

Slightly sour/funky. Eh.
