Iron Fist || The Gauntlet

Tastes just shy of a barleywine. Once again I have picked one of "these". Luck? Not so much I guess. Well it's freakin delicious despite the love/hate.

Goose Island || Pepe Nero

Very very similar to a black IPA. Hoppy, slight bite -- probably about 50-60-something IBUs if that helps. Smooth isn't the best word for this, but it definitely applies. It's a sipper, but don't nurse it. If I catch you, I'm taking it from you for myself.

Dark Horse || Cascade Crooked Tree

Hoppy. It's basically in IPA. BASICally...... An IPA.

A.

Also... After a tri-pork soup, it became more of an accessible beer. It took on some sweetness and some pilsner quality, but still retained its hop bite. Intriguing. I'd get it again easily.

Also, I will now be featuring the best beer of the month and the worst beer of the month. When I say worst and best, I mean that it's the one I enjoyed the most and the one I enjoyed the least. I will be starting with the month of September.

Goose Island | Matilda

If you want a Belgian... You got one. WOW. Hats off, Goose Island.

Slightly sweet and made with that "belgian water" I always refer to. A slight bite compliments this one. YES. Rings in @ 7%, if yr interested, and with that comes a slight alcohol heat. It's there but you have to search. "It hits the back of the nose".
