THIRD STREET BREWHOUSE - JACK'D UP AUTUMN ALE Malt and spices on the nose, mostly cinnamon and nutmeg. Taste has more spices and some malt flavor, but for a pumpkin beer it really seems to be missing any notes of pumpkin. Overall, the smell is decent, but the flavor is a little underwhelming. Easy drinking, just not memorable.
GREAT LAKES BREWING CO. - OKTOBERFEST Nice caramel malt provides most of the aroma, some toffee and breads. Medium sweet caramel malts in the taste balanced with some earthy bitterness. A great beer, very drinkable and smooth. One of the better Oktoberfest beers i have tried. Seems Great Lakes does an exceptional job on every beer.
STEVENS POINT BREWERY - POINT OKTOBERFEST Typical Oktoberfest smell, caramel and toasted malts. Taste is the same, but more muted. Accurate protayal of the style, just kind of boring. As a Oktoberfest Marzen its not anywhere near the best in the category, but as a drinkable beer, its ok.
PRINCE - DIRTY MIND Classic early Prince. This was his third album and is brilliant. This one really established his name and style. Still sounds fresh today. My only complaint is its barely 30 minutes long. Favorites: Dirty Mind, When You Were Mine, Gotta Broken Heart Again, Uptown, Head, Sister, and Party Up.
