It's very complex, more on the bitter side with a hint of sweetness on the finish. Incredible brew, though. And more on the cheap side, strangely enough. I'm not sure what the regional distribution is like, but if you can find it, definitely grab some.

Sounds, good, I'm going to look for it.

I had read some bad things about their peanut butter chocolate ale but some amazing reviews on the maple bacon so I had to give it a shot and... it wasn't bad. A great desert beer with a lot of sweetness and a bit of a salty finish that drinks well after a meal. It's almost like a light stout, I dug it.

NICE! I have a bottle of that lying around waiting for a special occasion.

I've been in a cider mood lately - Crispin and Woodchuck are standards and easy to get my hands on.

If you guys have any recommendations, let me know.

Strongbow is ok, but really I like to look for a good import cider as Strongbow, Woodchuck, and Angry Orchard are all too sweet. Although a Black and Tan (I think they call it Black Silk or something, I don't remember) with 1/2 Angry Orchard and 1/2 Guinness Stout... delicious.

Nothing special but it's getting the job done.

... And I'm double-fisting with this... Because apparently I am an alcoholic.
