    Public Access Outer Reality DIPA brewed and canned by Dorchester Brewing Co. Boston Mass. For Public Access Liquids. Aroma is not quite ripe grapefruit and a hint of banana. Flavor is bigtime grapefruit, some pith, and a holiday spice note, this goes front to back, start to finish. Has that creamy, oily mouthfeel and lots of those white floaters. Not bad by any means but not outstanding either.

    Phosphorescent Freethought Galaxy IPA by Great South Bay Brewery in Bay Shore NY and distributed by 12%. Has a mild tropical fruit aroma, little citrus and some mango. Flavor follows the nose, grapefruit, mango, some peach in the middle with some hints of pine bitter throughout but coming on stronger at the finish. Also has a subtle caramel note in the middle. Has that creamy mouthfeel that leaves a touch of that oily feel. A nicely balanced IPA

    Omnipollo Agamemnon Imperial Stout brewed by Twelve Percent in Strattford Conn. Stout is so fitting. Thick dark inky look with some lighter floaters when hit with 300 lumen. Aroma is boozy first, like a good bourbon and some maple syrup, dark maple syrup. Flavor follows nose, nice hot boozy bourbon melts into some maple syrup and smoky wood chip flavor. Has some dark roasted coffee flavor with a milder chocolate taste hiding in the background. Has that super dark charred wood note but it doesn't overpower, just fades to the background. The 12.5% ABV is noticeable, kind of pleasant.

    Public Servant Firefighter Edition DIPA brewed by Dorchester Brewing Boston Mass. For Evil Twin Brewing and distributed by 12%. Kind of a bready bananas aroma with a hint of citrus. Has a sweet malty backbone right up front, ripe citrus at first but quickly goes to those dank and piney hop notes. The bitter from those hops is balanced very well by the malt, a tasty kinda old school IPA.

    Zach's Mexican Doughnuts Spiced Oatmeal Stout from Singlespeed Brewing in Waterloo, Iowa. It does have a little cinnamon and chocolate aroma, some coffee but mostly that roasty malt aroma. There is a spicy chocolate flavor, lots of dark coffee, most predominate is the smoky toasted flavors. Nice creamy feel in the mouth but finishes light and crisp for a dark Porter. Layers of flavor that goes down easy.

    Blowing From A Gun DIPA with Indian cane sugar and quintuple dry hopped with five different hops, El Dorado, Calypso, Cashmere, Mosaic, and Hull Mellon. Brewed by Dorchester Brewing Boston Mass. For Nightmare Brewing and distributed by 12%. Not getting much for aroma, faint citrus and tropical fruit, light bread dough maybe. So the artwork is fitting, flavor goes off like a bomb! Tropical fruit and ripe citrus followed quickly by a sweet cane sugar burst that is balanced with lots of green hop, dankness, pine, fresh lawn clipping green, I know that's a smell but fresh cut grass comes to mind when I taste it, odd maybe but a super tasty beer, complex with a balanced ride.

    Cool Out Tropical Stout from Exile Brewing in Des Moines Iowa. The nose says hazy IPA, has a mild tropical fruit aroma. Taste starts out all stout, smoky malt, bitter dark chocolate but then shows the Cool. Gets a somewhat sweet coconut banana tropical vibe going then finishes with a chocolate and dark coffee note. A many layered and well balanced beer.

    Happy New Year!
    Icing on the Cake Imperial Milk Stout from Grimm Artisanal Ales Sterling, VA, brewed June 2018. Aroma is a boozy chocolate with a hint of dried fruit sweet. Flavor is fantastic, a nice boozy bite up front rich layers of chocolate and dark chocolate follow each other. There is a touch of sweetness throughout, like the sweetness from raisons or a dried prune as well as some vanilla. Ends with a mild charred malt note, nice and smoky but not overbearing on the bitter end. As it warms it transforms, the booziness' stays but the chocolate gets milkier, the charred malt subsides a bit more and the fruitiness goes to a nice ripe Black Cherry syrup. A top notch stout, fuqing ambrosia, 22 ounces is plenty!

    This is a criminally underrated whiskey. Love the stuff, especially for the price.

    Raygun Vol.2 IPA from Backpocket Brewing in Coralville, IA. Smells good, some ripe citrus and some mild dank in the aroma. Flavor started with a citrus bitter, like a fresh squezzed lemonade that's short on sugar, a little watery……then the skunk shows up, leaves a skunky beer flavor, like that Schlitz left open on the nightstand skunky. Most of this beer went down the sink, got worse as it warmed. Couldn't find a date on the bottle but it wasn't on the shelf for Thanksgiving, is it a good beer gone bad or just a flavor I don't get?

    Andreas oat IPA brewed by Great South Bay Brewery of Bayshore NY for Omnipollo and distributed by 12%. Aroma is a bit malty with some sweet citrus. Something in the taste reminds me of a good wheat beer, a sweet grain and a little bready. It has a very light sweetness, like a melon, hints of citrus with a very mild hop bitter finish. A very mild but flavorful IPA I would buy again.

    Todd The Axe Man IPA from Surly Brewing in Minnesota. Malt and citrus is what I get for aroma. Has some sweet caramel/malt flavors up front going to a tropical fruit melon taste for just a bit then a pithy citrus bitter to finish. The bitter hangs in a good long while, not my favorite type of IPA.

    White Stouts Can't Jump Imperial White Stout brewed by Dorchester Brewing Boston Mass. For Abomination Brewing Co., distributed by 12%. Big coffee aromas with a touch of malt and vanilla Yep, white stout, seems real odd when you take a sip but no doubt about it being a stout. Flavor starts with a strong chocolate milk and coffee, ambrosia. Moves to a darker chocolate and vanilla, not as much of that smoky flavor you get in a real dark stout but it's there, just enough to balance the sweet from the lactose. A very tasty stout, who cares if it can't jump just buy it!
