X'mas Beer: Day 14

Beer: Rogue

Region: Oregon, USA
Volume: n/a (perhaps a 5.8%, since it's a porter, maybe even 6% or higher)
Brewery: Brewmaster
Taste: Rich, aromatic, robust, chocolaty taste that goes down smooth. Definitely a full flavored beer that will go well with a meaty meal.
Fun Fact: "Porter is said to have been popular with transportation workers of Central London, hence the name. " - BeerAdvocate.com, article 305

Rating: 4.25/5

Note: I believe my rating system may be flawed because I've been drinking my beer at the very end of the day...uaually after a few drinks in (okay, not "usually", but all the time).

X'mas Beer: Day 9

Beer: Estrella Damm

Region: Barcelona, Spain
Volume: n/a (I'm guessing it's around 4.5%)
Taste: Light lager, crisp, refreshing and clean. It goes down smooth without any after taste.
Rating: 3/5 (it's a high rating for such a simple lager, but I suppose the claim "since 1876" gave it that extra 0.5 points. It's lasted this long, it must be good!)

X'mas Beer: Day 8

Beer: Winterbraun

Region: Eureka, California
Volume: 6.5% (on the stronger end, awesome!)
Taste: Surprisingly full of aromas. It is complex, full bodied, yet smooth with a malty taste. You can definitely taste the chocolate malt. In summary, it's a sophisticated dessert drink!
Rating: 4.5/5 stars (I'm saving my 5 stars for the white unicorn of beers, which i'm not sure if it even exists...but I want to believe in it!)


















P.S. Dark man skiing! Har! I get it now!

I forgot to attach this image to my first beer post. This is only a fraction of all the beers we exchanged. Pretty awesome huh? huh? That's 28 completely different 6 packs!












Oh, and also, random image of the day. I made breakfast this morning and found a little surprise. Two yolks in one egg! I heard it's a good omen.
