not sure if i ever did this one. crims' current favorite beer. as a matter of fact, shout out to crimsoninja for sending this one in (aka leaving some in my cooler in a parking lot in south philadelphia).



he's an idiot, but he's got a point here. it's damn good.

it's the most fruity smelling beer i've ever had. it smells like fruit cocktail in that syrup.

you taste the fruit right away real strong but it passes quickly and then you get the hops (which they say this beer is superwellknown for) but they aren't hops that really pop or anything, which was what i was expecting from everything i'd read. they're all just smooth and kind of mellow. with their mind on their money and their money on their mind.

it's really interesting and good though. it's 7% but you can't really tell.


i'd say this is a solid 8.5 s2tp

alright, this is some crazy poop.



cocoa, coffee, pasilla peppers, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.

not crazy about the peppers but i'd be silly to not admit this was a really good, very interesting beer. it's a milk stout so it's really sweet. it's 8.1%, which is higher than i like but it didn't ruin it for me or anything.

it's apparently supposed to taste like mexican hot chocolate.

also very interesting, though not in the same universe as the other one.



this had lemon, orange, pomegranate, and stuff like that. no (frank)ing cinnamon, clove, etc.

it was actually really enjoyable but i wouldn't drink more than one or two if there were other beers around because it's kind of just a novelty beer.

they're good for head retention (heh heh) and the shape helps you smell the beer better. there are lots of cheaper and sturdier alternatives that are as good or better though, IMHO.

these puppies break easily and are $15 a glass if you don't get them on sale. that's why i am a known hater.
