Spring Break in Bloomington





Espresso Oak Aged Yetti's best attribute is the Sasquatch drinking a coffee on the label.

Chris says too much bitter coffee and not enough vanilla. B

Barry says this beer is a bit disjointed, with not enough of a coffee presence. Oak is too woody, almost like licking a gerbil's balsa wood treat. B-

Hop Stoopid

Chris says 10% too much hops. Grapefruit analysis concurred. I like it better than the Flossmoor. B +

Barry says Yum. A

J.W. Lees Harvest Ale

Chris says tastes like caramel, vanilla ice cream. A

Barry says this is what I'd like a barley wine to taste like. Apple saucy, caramel, vanilla, sweet but avoids clying sweetness. Mellow with ridiculous sediment. A

Flossmoor X-IPA

Beer tastes like a forest. Chris thinks it could be hung from the rear view mirror. Very piney with a bitter finish.

Chris B

Barry B +

Ten Fidy

Chris - comfort beer, like endangered species dark chocolate bar A

Barry - sweet chocolate cherry sundae, lacks the bitterness I enjoy in big stouts B

Did you guys tie, or quit keeping score?

Ten Fidy is almost a perfect chocolate bomb.

We tied all the back nine skins until the 18th, which I won with a 2 iron approach and 60 ft. 2 putt. It was pretty intense.

I was a bit disappointed with the Ten Fidy.

I liked Storm King much better.

Viva Storm King. Maybe I'll go pick up a six.
