Adult Sodas 303-308

I don't care where my cohorts are in their postings. This here is me getting ahead of the game. My notes on this group are kinda lame, so I'm going to assume I had a lot of work to do that day.

Geary's London Porter
Large head. Light lemony smell. Pretty standard porter with some extras. 3.5 out of 5 steins.


Orval Trappist Ale
MMmm another Trappist. Very large head for a Trappist. Smells like a Belgian. Kinda really tart with a grainy after taste. 3 steins out of 5.

Gritty McDuff's Pale Ale
MMMM Duff ::drool:: D'OH!. Good caramel Smell (no pale smell to this beer). Really it was more of an ale than it was pale. It was actually pretty toasty for a pale ale (which was extraordinarily interesting. This beer was a pale ale with its own style. A sturdy 4 out of 5 steins.

Newport Storm Rhode Island Blueberry
I love that My spell checker doesn't recognize Rhode as a word. Its a state in the Northeast you dumbshit computer! Rhode Island! SUCK IT SPELL CHECKER!! Strong blueberry aroma that floated from the glass. I definitely could smell it as it was being poured. The room just started to reek of blueberries (a nice smell). A slight poo smell when you get closer to it. Tasted like both an ale and blueberries, but was not mixed well. Soon as Retha tasted it she grimaced. We thought this beer would be the illegitimate spawn of Miller lite, blueberries, and Georgia Moon whiskey. 1.5 out of 5 steins.

Duchess De Bourgogne
Duchess of what? Another beer where you can clearly smell the alcohol (with some fruity under lyings). Retha reminisced about Quel Que Chose. Wes thought it made you smack like the Quel Que Chose did. Certainly doesn't taste like it smells, but we still gave it a 3 out of 5 steins.

Traquair House Ale
It's not bad, but its not my style (I don't know who said that... me maybe... I don't know... probably me). Dark, no head, sweet aroma, flat taste. Mildly smoky and tasty. I have not written a rating for this one. So I will have to guess a 3.75 out of 5 steins.
