Review: Stoney Creek Original Vanilla Porter

Really like this one. Very Smooth and sweet, nice chocolaty taste. Anyone who like porters has to try this stuff. I really have to thank our staff reviewer Beth for hooking me up with this stuff.

Review: Alaskan Brewing Stout

This is an Oatmeal Stout and I usually like them but this didn't do much for me. Not as rich as I would expect.

Review: Samuel Adams Cream Stout

Great flavored Stout. Really good blend of malts, it takes Stout in a different direction of taste without losing the traditional stout characteristics. Not too sweet or creamy.

Review: Arcadia Amber Ale

Darker than a typical Amber ale, very drinkable with a light caramel finish.

Review: Anderson Valley Brewing Co. Poleeko Gold Pale Ale

Very crisp and refreshing. Goes down smooth and sweet. One of the many wonderful beers produced by AVBC

Review: Alaskan Brewing ESB

Bitter ale that was only mildly bitter. That's good or bad depending on what you are looking for.

Review: Alaskan Brewing Amber

"Alt Style Beer" or old style ale, It is kind of dry and with a malt flavor.

Review: Acme California Brown Ale

I really liked the flavor of this Brown Ale. The flavor is a malt / coffee / brown sugar blend. I will definitely try this one again.

Review: Full Sail Brewing Co. Pale Ale

Our Guest Reviewer Steve D. really enjoyed this American Pale Ale. Since we were visiting Utah he was happy it was not 3.2 abv.

Review; Shiner 96 Marzen Style Ale

Another good drinkable beer from Shiner. Nice flavor, good finish with little aftertaste. Like Shiner Bock it just doesn't quite seem to hit the mark. It is not quite up to the level of a good Marzen or Oktoberfest.

Review: Sierra Nevada Summerfest Ale

Slightly above average Summer ale. Goes down smooth and is very drinkable. Lighter than most Summer Ales.

Review: Young's Waggledance Honey Ale

So I had to look it up. A Waggledance is the strange dance bees perform to let other bees know there is a good source of nectar. Beyond that there isn't much to say here. Young's has produced a nice bitter style ale here but the whole honey thing is lost in the mix and actually detracts from the overall flavor. My longtime favorite Dundee's Honey Brown is a better choice for honey brewed beers.

Review: Bluegrass Brewing Co. Hell for Certain

Belgian Style Ale with a very spicy flavor. Very different type of taste. For flavor they add Black Pepper, Orange Peel and Coriander for that spicy finish.

Review: Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss

I have had this beer now on a number of occasions and liked it every time. Sweet, but not enough to set your teeth on edge like some Honey beers. It actually more of a malty flavor than a wheat flavor.
