Fathers Day Edition

Not Your Fathers Root Beer
Ale With The Taste of Spices

Country- USA

Brewery-Small Town Brewery- Illinois

ABV 5.9% - this makes it a very dangerous beer indeed...

Look- it's dark but not black, it looks like a root beer looks. Not much head but that was my fault I had put it in the freezer..oops..

Feel- carbonated like a soda, not too bad at all.

Smell- sweet, exactly like root beer. I was at poker and one of the guys brought it, I smelled the root beer from across the table.

Taste- it is very good, refreshing even. It tastes just like root beer with a slight hint of alcohol. Pretty damn impressive. I think this could be an awesome BBQ or firepit beer...

Opinion- I loved it. It is exactly what it says root beer beer... This is a beer that can get very dangerous very fast..lol I give it 9 out of 10 (because I like the different beer tastes and this one was not a beer taste at all... Root beer yes, beer no, that's the only reason it's not a 10.)

Rye of the Tiger - 6/9/15

Rye of the Tiger

Brewery- Great Lakes Brewing co

Country-USA

ABV- 7.9%

Look orangish like a sunset orange. Pretty decent sized head

Feel - not very carbonated. But it feels thick.

Smell- smells great! Light.not sure how to describe it. After smelling it again, it smells a bit fruity.

Taste- a little bit not overly bitter. Nothing stands out or is distinguishable. 

Opinion- it's not the worst beer I've had. It's not something I'd crave or go running back to, but if it didn't have my favorites, I'd drink it. I'm kind of indifferent to it. 6-10


(Side note- as the drinker drank on it is noted that it tasted better the more you drank and that is indeed a good thing no?) and no we did not listen to eye of the tiger by survivor when this beer was opened.

Lancaster Milk Stout (June 6,2015)

Lancaster Milk Stout

Country-USA (Lancaster PA)

Brewery-Lancaster

ABV- 5.3%

Look- Dark, almost black with no head.

Feel- Lightly (very) carbonated

Smell- Sugary, Syrupy, Malty.

Taste- Very stout like with a heavy smooth malty taste.

Opinion- Yudy said "...spoiled Guinness..." While I don't think it's quite that bad, it's really not all that great either. I've had similar tasting stouts but there's something missing here. I'd say that this is a below average beer, but not terrible. It's a weak 4 out of 10.

Side Note- This is my first milk stout so I have nothing to compare it to really.
