Review: Gordon Biersch Marzen

I thought this was an average Lager with a somewhat sweet taste and a mildly hoppy finish.

Review: Bells Special Double Cream Stout

Very rich flavor, a hint of bitterness but a really wonderful stout. I was lucky to find this seasonal on tap with a great recommendation from the bartender.

Review: Ram Brewery, Indianapolis Total Disorder Porter

Very smooth, not too sweet. Great Porter

Review: Maibock Hofbrau

We spent an entire evening sampling and studying this beer. Now I wish I could remember what we decided. But Seriously....
I really like this beer. It has the whole hop / malt flavor blend down pat. Very smooth finish, no bitterness or after taste. HOWEVER, I would seriously recommend monitoring your intake on this one. Rumor has it that it is up around 14% ABV. We suspect it is closer to 9% ABV, but still plenty high enough to cause problems.

Review: Bluegrass Brewing Co. Nut Brown Ale

Good smooth taste but a little watery, less of a malt flavor than I would have expected. Not much to taste in the finish

Review: Wolaver's Brown Ale

Great Brown Ale, very nice taste. Wonderful smooth and sweet finish.

Review: Flying Dog Snake Dog IPA

This is a very traditional IPA with a very strong hop flavor. Not my personal favorite, but I lean to a more balanced flavor.

Review: Coopers Brewery Best Extra Stout

Good strong traditional stout from Australia.

Review: Bell's Expedition Stout

Not as rich and sweet at the previous Double Cream Stout. Great finish, smooth & sweet.

Review: North Coast Brewing Old No. 38 Stout

Another multiple award winning stout. Strong but not overbearing coffee taste. Not an "in your face" kind of stout.

Review: Young's Oatmeal Stout from the Ram Brewery

Strong Stout from England. Comes in a pint bottle so drink expediently unless you like warm back wash !

Review: Abita Brewing Turbodog.

I have been remiss in taking so long to get this on the site. Dark and Malty nice balanced flavor with a smooth taste. One of my favorites !!!

Review: Abita Amber

I was introduced to Abita beer while in New Orleans a few years ago and have been a fan ever since. The Amber is a great tasting ale good for those who have a preference for lighter American beer.

Review: California Red Seal Ale

Really excellent pale ale, pretty aggressive hop flavor, but it pays off in the end.

Review: Great Lakes Brewing Co. Elliott Ness

Apparently one of the relatives of the Great Lakes family worked for Elliott Ness. So that prompted them to name this fine lager after him. I also sense the irony of naming a beer after the patron saint of Prohibition

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
