The Bruery || 4 Calling Birds

Hoppin' Frog Brewery || Hop Dam Triple IPA

Hop Dam Triple IPA | Bottle | A+> | ? | 2DEC11 |

My tongue is still recovering months after The Hop Dam Crisis of 2011!  Hoppy as the rest with a touch of "hey, i'm not so bad, really, just put me in that glass over there, take your balls out of your wife's purse, and drink me". I listened, and I'm still here. I would not hesitate to experience this one again, ever.

Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales || Noel de Calabaza

Noel De Calabaza (Batch 904 Bottled: 2011-10-04) | Bottle | A | Mrs. D's - Scranton, PA | 24NOV11

Stone Brewing Co. || Escondidian Imperial Black IPA

Escondidian Imperial Black IPA | Bottle | A+> | Scott's Beverage - Moosic, PA | 10NOV11


This only fortifies my love for Black IPA's. This is so unimaginably good. Slightly heavy and therefore coats the mouth a bit. Hoppy and bitter and slightly sweet. Oh yeah. 

Anderson Valley Brewing Company || Brother David's Tripel Abbey Style Ale

Brother David's Triple Abbey Style Ale | Bottle | A+> | Goldstein's Deli - Kingston, PA |

A TRUE TRIPEL brewed with that typical "belgian water". Oh how I hope to meet you again someday. This was excellent. It had that banana-y tripel quality, hardcore. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys Tripel Horse.

  

Jason Fields & Kevin Sheppard / Tröegs / Stone COLLABORATION || Chocolate Cherry Stout

Cherry Chocolate Stout | Bottle | A+> | Goldstein's Deli - Kingston, PA | 25OCT11


Smokey/Hickory, cocoa, hints of cherry cola/cordial cherry in the back. Literally went from a smoke stout, to a chocolate cherry stout (not to be confused with chocolate covered cherry) when it caught up to the warmth in the room.
