Welcome…welcome back?
Hi Everyone,
Welcome back to the fully migrated WordPress site. The site design is still a work in progress as is the templates used for the posts. I’m still trying to wrap my head around web design again and figuring things out. So bare with me while I work out the kinks.
Eventually I hope the site will be transformed into more than just beer reviews. Plans are to cover all things nerdy and that make “nerd sense”
Prost!
Beer of the Month Club Batch #2
Lancaster Milk Stout
Brewery: Lancaster Brewing Co.
Style: Milk Stout
Style: Milk Stout
Glass: Guinness type pint glass
Look: Dark with a brownish creamy head
Smell: Chocolate, Malt, burnt and roasted coffee
Taste: Roasted coffee, toffee, little bit of a chocolate. Slight sour note. Carbonated
Aftertaste: that after cup of coffee taste
Really enjoyed this but as most of you may know, I really enjoy a good Stout. This really had that good burnt coffee and toffee flavor.
4/5 mugs
Duke of Wellington Pale Ale
Brewery: Granite City Food & Brewery
Style: English Indian Pale Ale
Brewery: Granite City Food & Brewery
Style: English Indian Pale Ale
Glass:Sam Adams perfect pint glass
Look:Amber light with a fizzy head
Smell:Malty, apricots, and almost alcohol like flavor
Taste: Caramel, malty and bitter
Didn’t really care for this beer. It was kind of bland but not in the good way you would expect from a English ale.

Wolters Fest Beir
Brewery: Hofbrauhaus Wolters
Style: Marzen
Brewery: Hofbrauhaus Wolters
Style: Marzen
Glass:Pilsner Glass
Look: Very Translucent amber with decent head
Smell:German malts and honey
Taste:Caramel, malty, end is kind of puckers lightly carbonated, sort of creamy
Easy to drink. I enjoy a good OktoberfestMarzen. I would say I’m a little spoiled after sampling a lot while in Germany for 3 weeks last year. This was very drinkable but I wouldn’t say it’s anything special. I actually like Wolters Pilsner more and I’m not a big pilsner guy.

Wolters Pilsner
Brewery: Hofbrauhaus Wolters
Style: German Pilsner
Brewery: Hofbrauhaus Wolters
Style: German Pilsner
Glass: Pilsner
Look: small head with a golden crisp carbonated look
Smell: malty with grassy notes. small amount of hops
Taste: very light and crisp. Almost sweet with just the perfect amount of carbonation. Great for a nice hot day
Now I’ve never been much of a Pilsner guy. I pretty much turned it down for a week straight while in Germany until one night we ran out of Marzen so we had to pop open the growler of Pils. Since then I have started to open up more to pilasters but haven’t really found any that caught my eye. I actually really enjoyed this one. I could see myself drinking a few of these on a warm day.

Beer of the Month Club Batch #1
Beer of the Month Club Batch #1
*Note: I think some of these may have been tainted due to me using the dishwasher for my beer glasses. Think it gave each beer a weird tinny flavor. I have since started hand washing all my beer glasses
Slick Nick Winter Ale
Brewery: Sebago Brewing Company
Style: American Strong Ale
Style: American Strong Ale
Glass: Cognac glass
Look: Amber translucent pour with a creamy head
Smell: Caramel and some hoppiness and spicy
Taste: Has an interesting hoppyspicy taste which coincided with the smell. Not much body. I felt this was kind of bland over all
I ended up only drinking one of these and letting others drink the other two. I guess this goes to show how I felt.
2/5 mugs
Black Boss Porter
Brewery: Boss Browar Witnica S.A
Style: Baltic Porter
Brewery: Boss Browar Witnica S.A
Style: Baltic Porter
Glass:Guinness pint glass
Look:Amber with rubyish color with about an inch head
Smell:Dark chocolate, caramel, coffeeespresso
Taste: Darkchocolate and malty. You can’t tell it’s a 9.4% ABV. Definitely drinkable
I really enjoyed thisbeer, so much so that I have been rationing them, I think there is still onehidden in the back of the fridge and haven’t let anyone else try it. Great afterdinner beer.
4/5 mugs
Hobgoblin
Brewery: Wychwood Brewery Company
Style: English Strong Bitter

Glass:Pint glass
Look:Dark amberish. Head dissipated rather quickly. It was double the size of thebelow picture but quickly dropped.
Smell:Caramel with an almost maple like smell.
Taste:Subtly sweet with caramel and toffee flavors but still gives you the bitternessof a dark English ale
This was the only beer that I had before andrecognized. I have always thoroughly enjoyed this brew. Great English stylebitter.
4/5
Diamond Bear Pale Ale
Brewery: Diamond Bear Brewing Company
Style: English Pale Ale
Brewery: Diamond Bear Brewing Company
Style: English Pale Ale
*Note: I have mytasting notes labeled as Dales Pale Ale which never came in the beer of themonth packages, My tasting notes kind ofmatch up with the brochure included blurb so there’s a chance I just had DalesPale Ale on my mind while drinking this.
Glass: NA
Look: Light copper colorwith decent sized head
Smell: sweet hoppy smell
Taste: Malty hoppiness
As you can see, Idon’t have much to say about this and to be honest I don’t even remember thisall that well to add on to my tasting notes. So I think it’s safe to say that Ididn’t enjoy this very much. If I mislabeled the note to be another pale ale, Iwas probably wish I was drinking a different pale ale.
