New Belgium Trippel.

See post below. Color is wrong.

Thanks for the ears, Sister.

New Belguim Abbey.

Look. I highly doubted anything not coming out of Belgium and calling itself Belgian-styled was going to leave an impression on me. And I was correct. But as long as you go into something with lowered expectations, you can't be too disappointed, I suppose.

Looks like an abbey. Kind of smells like an abbey. But they really mean it when they say, "...brewed in the style of a Belgian 'Double'..." Style. Of. Not "is". Nothing much to report other than a watered-down abbey knockoff with hints of apple.

Schlafly Coffee Stout.

This had a cute coffee nose to it, but there's nothing too special about it. It tastes like black, iced coffee, sugar, no cream. Kind of a strange sensation. It is brewed with actual coffee from a local roaster, Kaldi's.

New Belgium 1554.

OMG NOTHING IS AS GOOD AS I REMEMBER.

He'Brew Jewbelation Ale.

Curiously cute, obviously. Jews. 12 hops, 12 malts, 12% ABV. Very finely carbonated, which dies off quickly, drinks like a stout. The taste is wildly complex, which is both expected and surprising considering the 12 theme and the other He'Brews I tried. It's strong and dark...but not mind-blowing. This is kind of the equivalent of my morning Yuban. Sort of? But not really. Cute, nonetheless. And it comes in a 22 oz bottle.

Schlafly APA.

APA is an American Pale Ale. The hoppy aroma seemed really promising, but it lacks the bitterness of even run-of-the-mill IPAs. Oddly, it seems to have some sort of lemony or citrus-y aftertaste. Maybe it's those Bud Light Limes I tried for the first time last night (which just taste like watery, flat Sprite), but this might actually be accented well with some lime or lemon. Or both.

Schlafly Oatmeal Stout.

Not as good as I remember.

Addendum, 1159.51009: No, it's not as good as I remember, but I like it all the same, maybe because I've got tongue for nut browns lately.
