Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Williamsburg Alewerks Tavern Ale

Williamsburg Alewerks Tavern Ale
When I first sipped this one, was expecting something light. Lageresque. Instead, it's smoky, malty, and extremely porterish (second really cool fake word made up for this post!). While part of enjoyment came from low expectations, definitely enjoyed the complexity and depth. Strong, but not overbearing!

Booze...in 50 Words or Less: Voodoo Brewing Company Wynona's Big Brown Ale

Voodoo Brewing Company Wynona's Big Brown Ale
I know a bit about beer, but you learn something new every day. Today, learned that Voodoo Brewing Company isn't from Louisiana. It's based in Meadville, Pa. Its brown is vibrant and flavorful, with a malty scent, a smoky finish, and a kick that approaches stout level without going overboard.

Booze ... in 50 Words or Less: Dark Horse Reserve Special Black Bier Ale

Looks like a stout or porter, but the taste is a bit lighter. Could definitely knock back more than one without that "full" feeling that I get from multiple stouts. Smoky malt flavor with a slightly sweet coffee finish. Hoppier than I expected. An excellent winter beer.

Ithaca Cold Front Belgian-Style Amber Ale
For a beer I bought simply to make sure the wife had something to drink (she sure likes Belgians), I sure was impressed by this. What a combination of interesting flavors! Not only does it have that classic Belgian feel, it also features the smoky bitterness of a stellar brown.

BEER - Sam Adams Scotch Ale

My friends gave me a Sam Adam's variety pack a couple of weeks ago and I am heartbroken to report that there is only one left, BUT I think I saved the best for last. Scotch Ale provides a medium brown color with a little bit of a malty after taste that precedes a somewhat smoky scent. If you are a fan of a hint of bite at first taste followed by a smooth body then you will enjoy. Hooray for being done this skew of beer? I hope so, for the sake of Magic Hat Spring Mix...more details to come.
