GOOSE ISLAND BEER CO. - 6TH DAY  Limited release, holiday brown ale with a 8.3% ABV.  Starts with a nice sweet caramel malt smell with hints of dark fruits, spices and a hint of chocolate. Very nice. Tastes of sweet malts with some fruits. Alot going on; caramel, toffee, fruits, chocolate and some spices. A little on the sweet side, but very good. Super drinkable, nicely balanced, really no notice of the alcohol, a very nice winter seasonal. Perfect for that cold winter night.

BRECKENRIDGE BREWERY - AGAVE WHEAT  The aroma is pretty basic, wheat malts and some lemon. Taste is mostly wheat flavored with some citrus hints. Also has quite a bit of sweetness from the agave. Not much there, mostly just the wheat backbone, the hops are barely noticeable. Its easy to drink, just not all that memorable. Might have been a little better on a warm summer day.

KONA BREWING CO. - KOKO BROWN Huge coconut aroma. Also roasted malts and a hint of vanilla. Flavor is dark, complex, and full of coconut with a caramel malt back. Very unique flavor. I am not a huge fan of coconut at all, but this isnt bad as the coconut isnt overbearing. This is another well made beer from Kona, pretty one dimensional, but it tastes good, and thats all that really matters.

JANIS JOPLIN - 18 ESSENTIAL SONGS  Everyone needs a little Janis in their music collection, and this is the one i have. I am not a huge fan, but this one does just fine for me.
