Mother Earth: Old Neighborhood Oatmeal Porter (American Porter) 5.5%
This pours almost black with nice head and good lacing. The smell is chocolate, smokey and dark fruity. The taste very chocolaty, a little smoky. There is a medium body that almost has some sweet fruitiness. This is a great porter that doesn’t leave that sour gross taste in your mouth. Good local variety.
My Rating: B+/4
Victory: St. Victorious (Dopplebock) 8.5%
This pours crystal clear brown, very slight lacing, the smell is brown sugar, but a lot of malt in the smell and flavor as well. It is a nice German style flavor, great malt flavor, really good. There is a lot of sweetness, but for the ABV, there is a decent balance to this. It is maybe a little syrupy, but the medium-heavy body is actually pretty tolerable.
My Rating: B/3.68
There isn't a strong smell, but light sweetness and malt is detectable. pours brown and has very little head and lacing. I taste brown sugar and there is a nice crispness. It is pretty sweet, there is some bitterness, but it finishes nicely. This is a well rounded brown ale with a medium body.
My Rating: B-/3.43
Stone: Levitation (American Amber/Red Ale) 4.4%
This is really tasty, light brown-slightly amber, nice head, a little lacing, there is a sour hop smell that comes through slightly in the taste…but pleasant. I really love the smooth graininess that this beer has. It has a distinct malt taste but it isn't overly toasty or sweet. The light body would make having a few very easy.
