Few reviews

5 Barrel Pale Ale
5.2% ABV
Best by 06/20/2012

Clear and amber golden with a medium head and medium retention. Malty, fruity, mildly hoppy sums the aroma up alright. Not bitter per se, but has a good hop flavor going on, if rather mild. Wonder if any darker malts are used because there is the slightest nuttiness somewhere, or I am just crazy. Quite clean. Perfect carbonation, lower than most of its kind. A medium body carries things nicely. Overall a good option, especially at the ABV. Although I imagine why couldn't it be even lower.

4, 3, 3, 4.5, 4



Peaotch
Ale brewed with peaches. Thanks josefiak
7.2% ABV

Copper red with a bubbly head that recedes real fast... looks clean, clear, and rather thin. Aroma is strong on peach but there's not much else to be found. Alright flavor... full of peach with some balancing bitterness but an odd tannic note... as if not just the flesh of the fruit but the seed too. Disappointingly thin and just weak and unsubstantial overall.

3, 4, 3, 2, 3



Moo Hoo Chocolate Milk Stout
6% ABV (thankfully!)

Dark! Doesn't smell of much at first but chocolate and campfire come through soon. An excellent, excellent taste of silky chocolate and slight char carried perfectly by a medium, smooth body. No coffee. Reminds of campfires... very comforting and luxurious and at this ABV?! You gotta be kidding me. A very very good beer! Will drink again.

4, 4, 4.5, 4, 4.5
