Heavy Seas - Siren Noire

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

A chocolate stout with some amusing bottle art. It tastes mostly of powdered baking chocolate. Eh, I'd pass. The Great Divide Chocolate Yeti and the Southern Tier Chocolate Stout (or Mokah) are much more pleasant.

Dr Fritz Briem - PimoGrodzeskie

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

I was actually expecting this to be more smokey. The smoked malt is definitely there, but more in the aftertaste than completely up in everything. Slightly tart. Pretty decent. Could have been better. Certainly not bad though...

Goose Island - Fleur 2010

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Another belgian ale with hibiscus flowers

I ran across this at a store a month or so ago and figured I should pick it up because (1) Goose Island isn't making anymore of it and (2) it was 1.5 years old. Its a little tart, maybe a strawberry flavor? Finishes dry. Very bubbly. Enjoyable enough. Its inline with what I can remember from the last one I had.

Lost Rhino - Ice Breaker

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Its a double IPA for sure. Its not as interesting as Resin or Hopslam or whatever else I've had recently. Certainly nice enough. Not bad. I wouldn't turn one down, but I wouldn't buy another bottle (draft maybe).

Long Trail - Coffee Stout

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Not overwhelming or super aggressive. A big change from the ridiculous IPAs and barrel aged stuff I've been drinking recently. Definitely a lot of coffee taste. Fairly thin, really drinkable.
