Holiday Ale Festival

None of these beers really merited a full pint, but they were interesting but not always in a good way.

Burnside Brewery Barrel Aged Permafrost:  Smells like candy. Tasted like an aged Ninkasi IPA. Sweet and hoppy.

Upright Brewing, Provision: Smells like a sour beer, tastes like a sour beer, sort of like a beer/wine hybrid. 

Gilgamesh Brewing, Chocolate Mint Stout: minty, chocolaty, what the fucky.  

Fearless Brewing, Mjolnir Imperial IPA: The usual IIPA but too sweet.

Fort George, Kentucky Girl: Like an iced black coffee with cherries. Interesting and not terrible.

Lompoc Brewing, Cherry Christmas: Cherry wheat ale. Eh.

Deschutes Brewery, Twisted Winter: Fruity but dark, sour apple.

Lagunitas Brewing, Gnarly Wine: Now we know, barley wine is like an even sweeter imperial IPA.
