FAIR STATE BREWING COOPERATIVE - Old Richmond Rye Batch 01        Bottle #27, no idea how many they produced. Seems a little thin for an old ale style beer. Lots of whiskey in the aroma and flavor. Not bad. I have really liked every Fair State been I have tried.

NEW BELGIUM BREWING - Lips Of Faith La Folie 2016         "Seriously sour, this Flanders-Style reddish brown ale was aged 1-3 years in French oak barrels for mouthpuckering perfection." 
A nice little 3 year vertical of this popular sour from New Belgium for my last three beers.  Great taste, definitely sour. The first sip is a little shocking if you don't know what to expect. Lots of dark fruit flavors and some notes of oak, almost wine like. Very complex, each sip seemed to give me a different fruit that stood out. Not a huge fan of sours, but they are growing on me, but this was very good, very enjoyable.
Not sure I noticed any difference amongst the 3 different vintages, the aging didn't hur this beer at all. Highly recommended.

HORNY GOAT BREWING COMPANY - Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter    Amazing aroma, however flavor was a little bit of a letdown. It was a little on the thin side and the flavor seems a little on the artificial side. Well worth trying, and I would have it again, very interesting and enjoyable.

BROOKLYN BREWERY - Intensified Coffee Porter         Brewed with El Salvadorian coffee and aged in bourbon barrels. Lots of coffee and bourbon in the aroma and flavor, as expected. The 11.8% ABV is hidden really well. Nice beer, glad i tried it, but Brooklyn could stand to drop their prices on their bomber releases, too expensive.

BOSTON BEER COMPANY - Samuel Adams Nitro Coffee Stout       I was really looking forward to trying the Samuel Adams version of a Nitro beer in a can. Seems to work really well, this was smooth and creamy and very good.
