GOOSE ISLAND BEER CO.  - Rambler IPA  Another IPA from Goose Island. Smell is herbal and earthy with a hint of citrus. Flavor is more malt forward than a typical IPA. Taste has slight citrus and herbal hops with lots of breast malts. Seems like a red ale more than an IPA to me, not bad, just not real sure what its trying to be.

#670

WIDMER BROTHERS BREWING COMPANY - Raspberry Russian Imperial Stout '13     I really liked the aroma of this one. Strong raspberries and roasted malts.  Taste is the same with a little bit of chocolate. Very smooth and creamy feel. Just enough bitterness to temper the sweetness and tartness. I would gabve liked the raspberry to come through in the flavor a little more, but still might be my favorite in their Brothers Reserve series. Great dessert beer.

SIERRA NEVADA BREWING CO.  - DevESTATEtion Black IPA 2013    Organic offering from Sierra Nevada made with all ingredients they grow themselves. Made only once, I guess the story is they lost their barley crop for a beer they make every year and were not able to brew that one, so they made this instead. Citrusy and earthy hop aroma and flavor with roasted malts. Seems more like a porter than a black IPA but since ill good. They should have kept this one in the rotation.

#668

FULTON BREWING COMPANY - The Libertine    This is an imperial red ale. Aroma is all about the malts; caramel with some nuttiness, a little fruitiness and a hint of alcohol. Taste is very sweet and malty; caramel, fruits and toffee. Nicely balanced, no notice of the alcohol in the flavor. More malty than I was expecting and just a little too sweet for my taste.

#667

AVERY BREWING COMPANY - Out Of Bounds Stout     Nice to see Avery with distribution in MN again. Decent regular stout. Aroma of coffee and chocolate. Flavor is the same, roasted malts, coffee and a nice chocolate finish. Pleasant,  but nothing remarkable. A little on the thin side, but still a decent enough offering.

#666

GOOSE ISLAND BEER CO.  - The Illinois Imperial IPA     Excellent 9% ABV imperial IPA. Big hop flavor with a nice citrus aroma balanced with a nice malt foundation. Nicely balanced, the high ABV is not noticed at all. Slightly bitter.

#665

ODELL BREWING COMPANY - Fernet Aged Porter     Nice 9.8% ABV porter aged in fernet barrels for this chilly Minnesota night. Nice complex aroma; chocolate,  caramel and mint stand out the most. The aging in the fernet barrels gives it some interesting characteristics. Tastes the same, but the mint throws it off a little for me, it just seems Decent effort from Odell, I enjoyed it for the most part, but something just seems a little off on it for me. With some tinkering it seems like it could be even better. I usually love every beer Odell offers, but this one just doesnt quite cut it for me. Still, glad I gave it a try.

#664

AUGUST SCHELL BREWING COMPANY - Arminus Hoppy Pale Lager     Interesting beer, not real sure what its trying to be, but its pretty dang good. Nice fruity and floral hop aroma with a nice malt balance. Tastes thw samem Smooth and very drinkable. Nice to see Schells experimenting a little bit. This is a solid beer I would drink anytime.

#663

THIRD STREET BREWHOUSE - Lost Trout Brown Ale    Has a sweet malty aroma with hints of toffee and just a hint of fruit.  Taste is mostly roasted malts, coffee, toffee and has a nice nuttiness. Nice. Nothing special though, no need to buy again.

#662

NEW GLARUS BREWING COMPANY - Raspberry Tart      Another solid effort from New Glarus.  Definitely one of my top beers in the "fruit" category.  Aroma is of fresh raspberries. Flavor is just  raspberry sweet and sour goodness. Has a nice malt background which gives it more of a beer feel. Probably one of the more carbonated beers I have seen. Just a great overall beer, and at 4% ABV, I could drink quite a few of these at any time. I had heard such good things about rlthis beer, and it didn't dissapoint,  i'm glad i bought a few extra bottles!
