Finally got a chance to try this elusive beer.  Crazy hoppy up front and then it mellows out. Very well rounded.

Always a favorite, sorry it is only available around St. Patrick's Day. Light taste of caramel and hops. A little sweet and hint of citrus.

Very clean taste, citrus and hops are there but not over the top. Good flavor, not outstanding.

IPAVery good has a sweet malt taste, rich and full bodied without being too hoppy.

Good strong Brown Ale. More roasted malt flavor than many Brown Ales.

Not as full and rich as many stouts. I like the chocolate flavor, but that doesn't really make up for the slightly weak flavor,

Not my first choice, but when the other available beers are all "Lite" beers, there is not much of a choice. Not a real heavy beer, the citrus flavor is pretty mild.

Not a great Abbey Ale or a great Winter ale. The taste isn't bad, a bit weak, but it just doesn't stand up to any of the better Ales of this style.

Good coffee beer, lots of nutty chocolate with the coffee flavor in the finish.

Not the greatest Porter. A little too much coffee happening here. Also don't see anything that really makes this a "Holiday" porter.

This is a hard one to decide on. Not much in the way of a Winter or Christmas offering. The spices are very muted and almost lost in the background. Also missing is the expected Sammy's hop flavor. Grabbed another one of these at the airport while waiting for a flight. Good Session beer, interesting spice flavors but still not the typical Sammy flavor.

So this is another of the many, many, Christmas / Winter ales out there. One of the few that seems to manage to keep a balance between the spices and the hops and malts.Great caramel color and flavor with a bit of the winter spices in the finish.

One of my favorites in the winter ale offerings. Not as overly spicy as many Winter Ales. A much fuller, richer ale than the average holiday beer.

Slightly mild IPA, not as hoppy as you might expect. Flavor is OK. Very drinkable beer, just not a great IPA.

This is a very interesting Brown Ale from Karl Strauss. Not really sure it is a Belgian but still a tasty Brow.

Very drinkable session beer. Similar to Fat Tire but with a fuller taste.

The Bourbon flavor goes great with the malty, sweet flavor.

Good Nut Brown Ale. Great toasted malt with a nutty finish.

Found this at the Yard House in San Diego.Strange Belgian Ale. Good flavor and very drinkable, good taste, but don't let it get too warm.

Found this at the Yard House in San Diego.Like many American Pale Ales, the malt / hop balance is more even than an IPA or English Pale Ale.

Very chocolaty and rich flavor. Not really sure it is a Bock, it drinks like a very thin Porter.

Great IPA from the folks at Mt. Carmel Brewing here in town. Love the full flavor and clean finish. Very Drinkable !

This is a interesting IPA. Same full flavor you would expect from an IPA. The Nitro smooths things out considerably.

Found this on draft at the Paramount Cafe in Denver. Surprisingly light in color, but amazing full flavor. I am thinking this might be one of my favorite beers that I have had recently. Great balance with the aggressive hop flavor still right up front.

A Dark Belgian ale from the makers of Fat Tire. Maybe not as tasty as most Belgian ales, but a good offering.
