Delirium Nocturnum
A lot like the Saxo, but more even. There is no time-domain variation in this one, it's absolutely unwavering.

Rochefort 8
Looks like: once you've poured the yeast, a cappuccino. Tastes like: everything all at once.
Leffe Blonde
The first beer I had in Paris. I feel like the head is somehow the quintessential beer head. Probably the sweetest beer I've ever tasted, with some fruity and sugary overtones. If you let it get to warm it loses some appeal.

Hitachino Nest Weizen
Seems a little light for a hefeweizen. But the spirit is the same as the others, so it's just as enjoyable.

SkullSplitter
Vaguely reminiscent of the Lammin Kataja Olut near the bottom. Smokey and sweet, with an intensely medicinal carbonation. You really need a single sip, but nothing more. I could finish half a bottle at some point in the distant future.
SkullSplitter
I dreaded every sip of this beer. The flavor does not entirely balance out the "oh my god my gums! - it hurts!" factor
Xingu
Next to marinara tastes like camping wet dog. on its own - ..kind of buttery. In taste, not texture. I mean. you know. like french toast. ...I'm drunk.
Koestritzer Schwarzbier
"Smells like a rotting garden" Tastes like black. Like pink candy tastes like pink. And green candy tastes like your female parent. (apologies to those with two daddies or otherwise motherless) [ponders origin of term: "motherless swine"]
Xingu Black
Definitely a schwarzbier derivative. A little more flowery and sweet, slightly less watery.
Koestritzer Schwarzbier
Androgynous label leads to a light liquid. The most bitterness I think I care for before needing cheese. I can imagine Goethe drinking this and reflecting on color theory. It's black.
