Deschutes “Obisidian” American  6.4% abv

Promises espresso carapil malts

Mike: little roastier than I like. Not gonna pour it out.  GOOD

Evan: I really like the roast. Goes down easy. Enjoyable. Not sweet chocolate, balances with roast. They hit the mark they were aiming for  VERY GOOD.

Bob: overcooked a little for me but come through with what they promise. No chocolate. Good aftertaste  GOOD/VERY GOOD

Atlantic “Cadillac Mountain” Dry Irish  6.7%

Mike: Oxidation or age, cardboard, floral. FAIR

Evan: little more body than expecting. Not horrible. FAIR.

Bob: little fruity. Could be the worst label ever  FAIR

Odell “Lugene” Chocolate Milk  10.5 abv https://www.odellbrewing.com/beer/whiskey-barrel-aged-lugene/

Mike: Oak, vanilla, like a good cigar. VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT

Evan: A lot going on in here. Damned good beer. Big. VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT

Bob: Love the label. Smoother than expected, hint of whiskey well-blended. The taste is fabulous, but the aftertaste brings it down to a VERY GOOD.

Tower “Ten Karat” Golden 10% abv

Evan: It’s not officially a type yet, so people taunt it, but it’s got tons of oats, but no malts. Smooth. Cacao nibs and the coffee shine through. 

Mike: It is a golden stout dammit. Made with Cru Chocolate and Simply Roots Coffee 

Bob: Mind blown. Confusion. Funky. Delivers what it promises buuuut too much coffee for me. VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT.

Tower “Sir Brix A Lot” Imperial  11.3%

Mike: Pastries are more popular.

Evan: More along the lines of a pastry. Baby got cinnamon, cacao nibs, vanilla. Cacao nibs

Bob: Sweet, yummy, this is what you’d expect from a pastry. A skosh bitter at the end. EXCELLENT
