Roanoke Railhouse - Track 1

Thanks to the Newtster for providing this brew.

Reminds me slightly of Dead Guy Ale. Not bad.

Pretty sweet. Reminiscent of a Red Oak.

It really does taste like raspberries. That's actually a good thing. Its not a hint of raspberries, its a shit ton.

A pretty tasty dessert beer.

Roanoke Railhouse - Loose Caboose

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Another beer courtesy of the Newtster.

Hmm. I think I liked the other beer from Roanoke Railroad better. This has a strange aftertaste, after an initial sweet caramel flavor. It has a weird bitterness that I can't really describe. (Mandy suggested "cough medicine").

Would not recommend. (Mandy however said she liked it better than many of the beers I make her try.)

New Belgium 1554 Black Ale

Phew. Thank god this came in. I think the consecutive days posting streak can continue.

"Was at the grocery store and picked up something called New Belgium 1554 Black Ale because nothing else was striking my fancy. Here are my thoughts in appropriate Joe Cooks Dinner and Stuff Style:

Hmm. Randomly picked this up. The label speaks of chocolate and maltiness, but all I can taste is blueberry and alcohol. I probably won't buy this again."
