My goal is to be able to post more reviews, like books and movies, on my blog, but I guess I just keep drinking!

Andrew and I went to Dragonmead last night, which is always a treat.  I can’t recommend this place enough, they have around 30 rotating taps that are seriously ALL good.  I ordered Crown Jewels IPA at first, but they were out, so I got the Dead Monk Ale.  It’s a light pinkish-amber with a thin head, and I just love how beer looks in goblets anyway.  Complex flavor, but I could have tolerated more bitterness.  This was on the sweet side, fruity, and I’ve heard some say they taste bubblegum which I guess I agree with after thinking about it, as weird as that sounds. 

Next I had the Honey Porter.  I liked it, but again, on the sweet side.  It was nitrogen-dispensed, so super super foamy and low carbonation.  The honey taste was pretty overpowering, I would have preferred a more translucent sweetness.  Overall, though, it’s a good, drinkable porter.

So we FINALLY went out for Becky’s birthday!  I ordered this at Ashley’s.  We were playing a lively round of Pokémon… kind of an experimental three-way battle, actually… so my beer-tasting senses weren’t so focused.  I found this to be no more than decent.  The beer is a beautiful murky amber color and smells amazing, like caramel.  The taste though, is more like watered down rum.  Not bad, but blander than I like.  The 9% was fun.  I’d only order this again if my choices were limited.

omt i cant wiat to hang tout with erick and aile i lovd ghdm sooo mchhhhhhhh

I’m an overall Sammy Smith fan, so trying a new style was my choice for the night.  I didn’t expect a pale ale, the menu just said ‘Old Brewery’ so naturally I was expecting something like Bell’s Third Coast, but I wasn’t at all disappointed.  The color was more amber than pale, with a thin head and nice lacing that stayed awhile.  It has a hoppy aroma, but tastes sweeter and juicier than many pale ales.  Aili ordered Bell’s Hopslam, so it was a nice comparison.  I’d order this again, and I think it might be something I’ll be craving when the weather warms up.
