Green Flash Barley Wine

Another Great brew from the SoCal area, this time i got my hands on Green flashes Barley wine.
Rich malty, caramel smell with a hint of hops. First taste has a big hop flavor that is blended well with the rich malts and the caramel to the finish, seemed to have a bit of grapefruit at the end. I hope all barley wines taste this good. I would like to age one a year and see what happens.

I will be getting more of this when i can.

Bells - Oberon

Chad- Bells summer brew is back again, and as tasty as ever. I taste wheat and orange peel, and little hops. I've never been huge on this brew, but it goes down well on a hot day. I'd compare it to a Blue Moon, but better. It's a very refreshing beer to say the least. 3.5 out of 5

Alexander - Fruity yeast strain that seems common with spring/summer ales. On par or better with Blue Moon. 3.4 out of 5

Stone - Russian Imperial Stout

Chad - Yet another winner from Stone, one of the best brewers in the land. I love the smell of Imperial Stouts, and this one doesn't let me down. That nice chocolatey/malty/licorice puts a big smile on my face. This one has a big chocolate blast when it hits the tongue, followed by coffee and some bitter hops. Fantabulous. 4.2 out of 5

Alexander- A rich chocolate malt smell & taste with a coffee bean undertone. The ending seems to have an oatmeal/coffee flavor.
