Breckenridge 471 IPA

DSC03476

Kind of sweet. Fairly bitter up front. Slight citrus hops taste. Not sure I'd go out of my way to get it.

Schneider Aventinus 2007

This was aged in a historic ice cellar. Or so the label told me.

Pretty good. Maybe its a little muted compared to the fresh version? Still highly recommended.

Southern Tier Chokolat Stout

DSC03472

This was delicious. I have no idea where my notes are though. I just remember thinking I would buy this again.

Flying Dog Coffee Stout (Batch 2)

DSC03473

Its a stout. And its tastes like coffee!

Actually pretty good. If they sold this in 4 packs like the Double Dog PA, I'd probably buy it occasionally.

Stone Double Bastard Ale

DSC03411

I liked this so much that I didn't write down any notes when I took this picture (back in November or December?).

I went out and bought another bottle I liked it so much. Then I stuck it in the closet for a few months and forgot why I initially liked it.

Its not overly sweet, and has a dry, tea-like bitterness to it. I think I may have said the same thing about the Lucky Bastard ale. But this is really terrific. I think this is what I wish all of the overly hopped barleywines tasted like.
