Stonecutter Scotch Ale
Starts with a slightly bubblegummy fullness of a sweet quad, quickly melting away to a more bitter, roasty rum raisin. Finishing with an intense charcoal, and an ambiguous dryness.

Green Man IPA
Sweet, berry hops. Medium-light body with slightly bitter aftertaste and a hint of smoke. I really need to review more of these NZ beers.

Carolus
Beer pretending to be whiskey. Serious WTF moments abound.
Only complaint: Too sweet.
TRY THIS BEER!

Juju Ginger (Left Hand)
A genuine ginger-ale!
The ginger and ale are happily on first base, and making their way to the ginger's apartment building. Their friends are happy for them.

Brother Thelonious (North Coast)
Taste like a square pulse. The aftertaste is like a whole new beer.
St Bernardus 12
Comes on strong, finishes round and sweet. A real bear - pure - no comparative flavors.
Dulle Teve Tripel
To quote the brewer's site:
"Dulle Teve means Mad Bitch, but the US goverment does not like the name, so we said TRIPEL"
Earthy to smell. Alcohol stands out, but not in an offensive way - leaves a lingering bite, but not always on the back of the palate. Becomes more acidic over time.
Fascinating.

Burning River (Great Lakes)
A brighter Brown's Brewing Co. - when followed by Chimay, makes the Chimay taste like artificial cotton candy.
Oberon Ale (Bell's Brewery)
No attack - clean happy build. Peak fruitier than expected. Pleasantly bitter and slightly savory finish.
