Samuel Smith Winter Welcome Ale



Not my favorite. It was ok but just plain tasting. Meh.  Limited edition so you may have already missed it.

Beer Advocate likes it more than I did.
Samuel Smith's info on the beer is here.


Maritime Imperial Pale Ale



Hoppy.  

Beer Advocate says good.
Maritime Brewing has some more info.

Iron Horse Malt Bomb



I wasn't sure how I felt about malt.  After drinking this I could tell that I love it.  I have really enjoyed every beer I've drank from Iron Horse and this is another solid one.  

Beer Advocate could use more reviews!
Here's Iron Horse's info on the beer.

Left Hand Milk Stout



One of my favorite drinkable stouts. It's delicious and almost creamy. Yum! Delicious.

Beer Advocate gives it a good.
Check out Left Hand's site for more info.

Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye



It's not what I expected.  It's good.  I like it.  It was quite hoppy.  Turns out it's a seasonal so be sure to check it out this spring while you can!

Moylan's Dragoons Dry Irish Stout


Overall this was a pretty drinkable beer.  I kind of think it tasted like root beer a bit.  

Beer Advocate gives it a good.

Diamond Knot Whip Ale



This beer must be called whip because it looks like whipped cream on the top of my beer.  That head was impressive and took forever to go down. Random fact - this is the first beer husband poured himself in 7+ months.  I poured all the earlier ones.  

My big tip for enjoying this beer is don't inhale while you're drinking.  As a matter of fact, don't even think of smelling this beer.  It smells like a wet and dirty bar rag.  I was enjoying it much better before I started drinking and smelling at the same time.  Had I kept drinking without smelling I would have been fine.  I don't think I'll be drinking this one again

The folks at Beer Advocate think this one is good.
