Lost Coast - Indica IPA (6.5% ABV)
- Nice bitter-sweet flowery hops aromatics
- Mmmm, clean/crisp, light flowery but medium bitter hops
- Pretty clean after taste, light trail of the bitterness
- I like this, not quite a Stone IPA, but not washy~weak either
- I would buy it again, recommend if you want a bit more bitter, a little less flowery hops IPA .. 7.5/10

Rogue Chocolate Stout (15* Plato, 69 IBU, 77 AA, 135.45* L)
- Deep, dark semi-sweet chocolate, roasted grains/barley aromatics
- Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......OMG dark bitter-sweet chocolate taste, with bits of burnt woody grains/barley
- Very slight bitter chocolate after taste
- This is damn good, I'd consider it one of my fav chocolate stouts now
- Its right up there with Redhook Double Black Stout (with Coffee), 9/10

Stone: Imperial Russian Stout
- I am at my uncles house, so pics will be a bit different
- Plus this is my debut of my Nikon D40 pics!
- I took this pic a while ago & drank it while the D40 battery was charging...
- I don't remember a lot of the beer, but I did like it
- It was not a intense smokey stout, or had much chocolate flavors...nor was it very malty/alcholy
- It was pretty crisp on the palette, but definitely Russian Imperial Stout tasting
- I'd buy it again, and recommend it, 7/10

Elysian: The Immortal IPA (6.3% ABV)
- I've had this on tap for a while, and wanted to see how the 22oz bottle lived up to the on tap
- Mmmmmm, pretty much same-same .. tastes very similar to Stone IPA
- I really like this IPA, it's not over sweet-flowery, nor is it over bitter-harsh
- It's a good balance of fresh hops & bitterness
- I can see myself drinking this all day, 9/10

Recently tried Southern Tier Brewing Company --> Imperial Choklat Stout
Very good beer, made with dark chocolate that you could taste. But definitely not for someone accustomed to light beer.

Pike - Auld Acquaintance, Hoppy Holiday Ale (5.0% ABV, 1.052 OG, 32 IBU)
- Very little aromatics, maybe some amber malts ...
- Clean & light on the palette, some CO2 feel too .. also seemed a bit watered down
- Not malty, hoppy or barley-y .. very light citrus & coriander, mebby nutmeg spice
- Aftertaste is pretty much the same, clean, light, not much going on with the flavors
- This is confusing to place it...nothing really stands out, besides nothing stands out!
- I would get it again (fresher/newer bottle) to try it again
- Recommend it as a light winter ale for those who don't want anything too heavy with flavors
- overall 6/10

Fish Tale Organic IPA
- I was going to review this, but got munted & forgot to write anything. I forgot about it overnight with 1/2 of the bottle still there. I drank the rest in the morning .. it wasn't that bad for sitting overnight & and room temperature!
- From what I can remember it was pretty good, but I'll have to buy another and give it a proper review

This is what I drink when I wanna have a good night. A bottle of this stuff pretty much lays me out...plus its delicious. Especially if you eat something sweet with it.

The Piraat ale tastes pretty much identical to this stuff, but I give the edge to the Gulden Draak.
