LAKE SUPERIOR BREWING COMPANY -  OKTOBERFEST  Has a nic smell of caramel malts, toffee and even some floral notes. Sweet caramel maltiness with a touch of toffee in the taste. Has a little hop bite too. Fairly nice Oktoberest beer. Nice taste and drinks easy and smooth.

WIDMER BROTHERS BREWING COMPANY - OKTO  FESTIVAL ALE Great smell; caramel malts and some light spicey and floral hops. Taste didnt quite live up to the aroma for me though. It followed the nose, but just seemed on the weak side. Would have liked more of a malt backbone too. Doesnt quite meet octoberest standards for me.

CALIFORNIA CIDER COMPANY - ACE HARD PUMKIN CIDER  Didnt realize this was a cider when i bought it and not usually a big fan of ciders.  Smells of apple, spices and a little pumpkin. Tastes just like the nose, the pumpkin is barely noticeable though. Too sweet for my taste, would not give it another chance.

BILLY SQUIER - 16 STROKES: THE BEST OF BILLY SQUIER  Nice collection from a very underrated artist.  Maybe a bit too long, a few of these probably dont need to be on here. Most of his best songs are from the first two albums and not much after that. Still an enjoyable listen, but missing Lonely Is The Night though. Favorites: The Stroke, In The Dark, My Kinda Lover, Emotions In Motion, Everybody Wants You, Rock Me Tonight, and Dont Say You Love Me.
