Allagash Interlude

On tap at max's taphouse

Fairly similar to the goose island dominque.

Slightly tart with a hint of sweetness. Slightly funky. Pretty enjoyable.

Stone Old Guardian - 2009

I'm not sure why I thought I'd like this better if even if it had time to mellow out over the 2 years.

Its still really hoppy and grapefruity in a way that's unappealing to me. Not nearly enough caramel/malt flavor.

I shall refer back to this post whenever I think of buying another bottle of this, old or not.

Well, it's certainly lemony. It's a more natural lemon peel kind of taste than say Sam summer ale.

A bizarre choice for a winter drink.

[This was really not enjoyable.]

Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti

[picture lost in the interwebs]

Fairly dry and pretty bitter. Only a hint of vanilla from the wood aging. Dominant smell is of coffee.

Pretty good, but in comparison with the rest of the stouts I've been drinking I don't think I'd get it again.

Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine 2010

Found this on the back shelf at a Whole Foods.

Still really tasty. The hops are still present even after a year. Good times.
