Weekly Beer Reviews

Falls City
 
This is a local favorite that has graced our wall more often than not since we have been open. Using the 1930's recipe, a local entrepreneur has brought back this brand to great success. It finally gets its day as our featured beer for Pint Night. Vanilla and cornflakes are prominent on the nose. Crisp up front with a light bitterness, that quickly transforms to flavors of cornflakes and tea. The finish sweetens a big, but remains smooth throughout. This is a refreshing beer that is perfect for these hot summer days.

Rogue Chocolate Stout

This is one of my favorite chocolate stouts that we get on tap. It hasn't been seen on tap in nearly 2 years, and I am happy to welcome it back. The nose is diverse, with hints of roasted coffee, milk chocolate, and cocoa powder. The taste is a little bitter up front, with hints of dark chocolate and black coffee. It finishes with a pleasant taste of unsweetened cocoa powder. This is not the sweet bomb like Southern Tier, and I find it to be the perfect Chocolate Stout for your favorite red meat.

Schlafly AIPA
  
Hands down, this is my favorite Schlafly. It is the perfect IPA for Summer due to how refreshing it is. The nose is diverse and full of hops. Earthy and herbal with bits of pine and sweet grapefruit. This beer has an amazing aroma. The taste is slightly bitter, with grapefruit and bits of black pepper. The finish is wonderfully refreshing with hints of pine. Tyler claimed to taste chicken skin, but I got no such flavor. Judge for yourselves folks.

Southern Tier Creme Brulee

This is one of the most fragrant beers that has ever graced our wall. I can usually smell it from 10 - 15 feet away. The nose is chock full of toffee, french vanilla, and caramel. It just smells rich. The taste is no different. It lives up to its name, tasting dead up like creme brulee, with strong hints of vanilla and alcohol. The finish has more of that creamy flavor, with a slight bit of alcohol as well. Honestly, I don't like this years batch as well as last years. However, it is still a great beer for those of you into Sweet Stouts.
