Rivertowne Nitro Pumpkin

This one is a long pour with a nice cascade that ends in a dense white head. It has a nice dry pumpkin taste that compliments the creamy mouth feel from the head.

Southern Tier Warlock Stout

Really good! Great stout flavor with blended coffee and mocha flavors and a pumpkin under flavor.

The pumpkin flavor comes out much more as it warms up. And is especially evident in the the scent. 

Yard's Lost Stout

Like a cold cup of coffee and that's not an insult. Really strong coffee notes with some malt underneath. Poured with a rich dark tan head. A little bit of hops at the back of the mouth and a clean finish.

Once again had at Dommy's on a Saturday Pizza and Beer outing.

Shock top

The lady and I are out in Ohio birding up the warblers at Magee marsh. While the birds are cooperating finding a place to eat is quite a bit more challenging.
30 minutes away after several misses we found the portage inn and a shock top to go with it.

Not sure exactly what it is but it's a wheat and that's pretty smooth and clean. Not as flavorful as a Belgian style but definitely sessionable.

Full Pint Night of the Living Stout

This one is from some of the local boys in the Pittsburgh area. I think this is the first beer from them that the Gentleman has actually had. Normally everything they produce is more along the trend of American over hopping. Stouts are my bread and butter beer so I thought it would be a good place to start.

For a stout it has a serious hops kick at the end. Not surprising really given Full Pint's other offerings. There is a nice malty flavor across the tongue and then it finishes with a citrusy hop blast from the Cascade hops. Maybe a bit too much for the Gentleman as it really overwhelms the aftertaste but the Lady quite likes it.

Leinenkugel's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter

Leinenkugel reminds me of Minnesota. That's because we first drank it there, a creamy dark that has since become a favorite. Now perhaps they are part of a soulless corporate giant but the beer is quite good for the price.

The vanilla porter is a winter seasonal and is also quite nice. Strong on the vanilla with a nice malty porter backbone. It reminds you of eating some vanilla cookies.
