dozen) and enjoy the quickly approaching day of socially acceptable obliteration.

"It's a rich, chocolate-y, slightly fruity Belgian dark with a fairly substantial hop to keep
the sweetness from getting out of order. If you can get your hands on a bottle, you won't
be disappointed."

"Anderson Valley specializes in reasonable strength beer. It has a huge oak and bourbon
aroma, but don't be deceived; the flavor comes in with toffee, caramel, and vanilla, and
then dries out with wood and a touch of charcoal smokiness."

"It really does taste like sweet tea with lemon. And I'm not talking about some of the
cotton candy sweet teas that show up in some of our diners or fast food drive-thru lanes;
I mean something much closer to an Arnold Palmer. The aroma from the centennial hops
really sticks the landing on creating a tea aroma as well."
Dogfish Head Piercing Pilsner
"The signature fresh floral aroma of Saaz hops and the smooth maltiness of a Czech-style
pilsner are center stage, but stealing the show is the aroma and light touch of sweetness
from the pear tea and juice. Light-bodied, amazingly crisp, and refreshing."
Avery duganA
"It seems to be Maharaja's less well-known brother, but it's equally worth checking out.
Much more pine, spruce, and forest flavors than its big brother, and a big, earthy, dank
hop aroma to boot. A round, smooth maltiness does not overpower the dry hoppy finish,
and the earthiness lingers."
Goose Island Pepe Nero
"It looks like a stout, and it tastes a bit like a stout, but it doesn't feel like a stout. While
the beer has a nutty aroma, roasted malt flavors fill the palate and leave a peppery dry
finish. There's just enough earthiness to remind you that it's also a saison at heart."
Hopportunity Knocks
"At a respectable IPA strength of 6.8%, [Caldera Brewing Company] managed to cram
100 IBUs into this beauty. Mingled floral and citrus aromas greet you and the beer
follows suit, adding a light-bodied but persistently sweet maltiness to keep the hops in
check."
Quest Kermesse Pumpkin Saison
"A lightly sweet and meaty pumpkin flavor settles in first, followed by a dry, earthy finish.
The pumpkin flavor manages to hold on into the aftertaste, leaving nutmeg and pumpkin
pie flavoring."
Sierra Nevada/Russian River Brux
"With the carbonation and funk of Brettanomyces yeast, it's hard to mistake it for
anything but a wild yeast beer, but Sierra Nevada/Russian River Brux has an array of
flavors and aromas that win your attention. Fresh pear and apple fruitiness; grassy, floral,
and signature barnyard aromas all play a part to complement a dry, effervescent, tart, and
light-bodied brew.”
Thirsty Dog Wulver
"It lives in bourbon barrels for a solid 11 months, and the recipe is specifically made by
Thirsty Dog for bourbon barrel aging. It has a big aroma full of molasses and bourbon, a
big caramel-y, malty sweet body with something more than a touch of vanilla, and a long,
burnt, caramelized sugar finish."
