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.

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.
