Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout


This high ABV (at 10%) beer was absolutely delicious.  It was chocolatey and smooth going down.  Definitely one to get if you can.

Sierra Nevada Oatmeal Stout (Beer Camp #45)


I was a bit disappointed in this oatmeal stout.  Compared to other beers in the style, I did not get as much of the of flavors I'd expect.  It was a bit heavy and chewy to drink.  It was ok and I'd drink it again, but wouldn't hunt this one out.

Sierra Nevada Imperial Pilsner (Beer Camp #43)


I was quite surprised by this beer.  I am normally not a pilsner drinker and find them to be boring, but this one was flavorful and floral.  This one won't be around for long, so I'd grab one if you can!

Samuel Adams Merry Mischief Gingerbread Stout



This beer was pretty good.  It was somewhat sweet, but not over the top.  I could taste the gingerbread flavors.  It is definitely a great holiday beer and and something I'd drink again!

Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot



This is a delightful beer.  I keep saying I'm not a barley wine fan, but then I find more I love.  This is one of those.  Definitely a great choice if you're a BW fan.

Rogue Santas Private Reserve



Santa's privates....errr....Santa's Private Reserve is quite tasty!  This one is a bit bitter, a little bit hoppy, and quite a bit delicious.  This is definitely a beer I'd drink again!

Smuttynose Winter Ale


This was ok for a winter ale.  Smuttynose advertises on their website that this beer contains no spices, which seemed obvious from drinking it.  I guess that is kind of unique in the winter ales, but it left this beer a bit mediocre.  Something I'd drink again, but not my favorite.

Dogfish Head Hellhound On My Ale


The husband loves this beer.  I am on the fence.  This IPA has some definite lemon notes to it.  It's hoppy.  It's strong.  I am only somewhat in love with this beer.  The lemon is a bit strong for me and the citrus is just so overpowering to my palate.  It's one to try if you see it - you'll either love it or hate it.
