    Well, I just learned that Tumblr has changed quite a bit since my last post. Anyways, I thought I’d review a brew that I’d try. This is the Imperial Pilsner by Naragansett.

The aroma is a bit perfume-like. The taste was crisp, bitter, and smooth, if that’s at all possible. Had a mildly buttery taste to it. I find it to be relatively easy to drink.

In all honesty, I highly recommend trying this beer. Well worth it, and it’s a shame they don’t sell it in at least a 4-pack.

    So, tonight I decided to open up a beer not yet sold in RI. I have tried this particular company, in Utah. I’m drinking Tilted Smile Imperial Pilsner by Uinta.

The aroma doesn’t stand out much to me, I’m getting nothing from it. The taste is mildly hoppy, yet smooth & refreshing. I find it to be quite an easily drinkable beer.

I enjoyed this beer. I’ve never had an imperial pilsner before, but I really liked this one. I hope Uinta finds its way into the great state of RI.

    I felt adventurous tonight. I grabbed this particular bottle and poured it in a glass. I am drinking Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout.

The aroma reminded me of a chocolate creme pie. The taste was like drinking a Hershey bar. And I found it quite enjoyable to drink.

I think this is the best chocolate stout I’ve ever had. This could very well be my favorite beer. I don’t know what to say other than I’m going to get more of this in the near future.

    Well, I have broken out of hibernation to review a beer nobody would expect me to review, considering my choices in terms of what I eat. I am drinking Rogue’s Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale.

The aroma is sweet and smoky. The taste is overwhelmingly like that of bacon. I don’t even taste the maple. To be quite honest, it’s a struggle to drink, probably because its been almost four years since I’ve had bacon.

I really didn’t like this beer one bit. Maybe to one who’s a fan of bacon, it might be good, but I might be sick after trying this. Never again.

    So, I bought this one for three reasons. One- I like Abita’s beers. Two- it has a cool label. And three- Abbey beers are one of my favorite styles. So I’m drinking Abbey Ale by Abita.

The aroma is fruity & hints of caramel. The taste is mildly sweet, fruity, and fainter hints of hops. I find it to be a very easily drinkable beer. 

This is a very enjoyable beer. I love it & recommend it. I want to buy another bottle in the future.

    Rating.

    I’ve decided to scrap the score rating. I think Rating a beer shouldn’t involve math, and quite frankly, running off numbers is boring.

    I’m just going to stick with a simple score of “love it & recommend, like it, it’s ok, try it once, and never again.

    So, today I went on a brew tour with my friend Stew from Utah. We went to Epic Brewery in Salt Lake City, and sampled a few beers. The one I liked the most I bought a bottle of, which is the Smoked & Oaked Belgian by Epic.

The aroma is definitely oaky & smoky. The taste is hoppy & sweet. This is a beer to be enjoyed, not an easy one to drink.

I give aroma a 10, taste a 9, and drinkability an 8.5. With 27.5/30, it gets a final score of 92. I greatly enjoyed this beer, and I definitely recommend it to anyone out there. The tour guide did tell me it’ll be available in Massachusetts soon enough, so hopefully I can buy a few different bottles when I’m back home, instead of having to drive to NJ for some.

    After work, I grabbed four random beers. This was one of them. Sofie by Goose Island.

The aroma is fruity, a citrusy fruity. The taste is like orange peels & grapes. This beer is dangerously easy to drink.

I give aroma an 8, taste a 9.5, and drinkability a 9.5. With 27/30, it gets a score of 90. Amazing beer. I would recommend this to anyone. 

My apologies for such a short post, but this beer was too easy to review.

    Tonight I’d like to try one of the many unique beers Rogue releases. The one I’m drinking tonight is their Chipotle Ale. You don’t see it too often, but they list the ingredients on the side of the bottle. Pretty cool!

The aroma is very interesting. It’s spicy, mildly smoky, and it kind of reminds me of something vintage. The taste has some spice & kick; you can taste the pepper in this beer. Spice aside, I find this beer to be surprisingly easy to drink.

I give aroma a 9.5, taste a 9.5, and drinkability a 10. With a 29/30, it gets a final score of 97. This was an awesome beer to try. It’s not a beer that you can drink more than one of, but it’s got a smooth, yet spicy taste to it. And the peppery flavor is not overwhelming in the least.

    So, I went to the store & treated myself to something fancy. I bought a single beer in a box. This is Firestone Sucaba Barleywine. Aged in barrels.

The aroma is oaky with hints of bourbon. The taste has the presence of bourbon, hints of cocoa & coffee as well. It’s strange to say how drinkable it is. I find it to be somewhat easy to drink, but it should be enjoyed.

I give aroma a 9.5, taste a 9, and drinkability an 8. With 26.5/30, it gets a final score of 88. I love this beer. I’d recommend it to anyone. This feels like a beer you’d enjoy on a special occasion.
