Alright so last vodka came from potatoes and tasted about as good as eating an eye of a potato, what’s next? Oh Eurotrash. Well shit. However as we say, despite the looks of things like Skyy, the taste is sometimes there. We do have a metric that essentially describes a book by it’s cover but that is 1 of 7 metrics.
Month: November 2015
Smuttynose Spank Saison Ale
Smuttynose Spank: 8.0 – This is just goddamn delicious – which considering they say as much was cause for concern. It has multiple layers of flavors all good.
Google Shop Average: Smuttynose Spank $9

Foolproof Raincloud Robust Porter
Foolproof Raincloud: 4.5 – Fairly standard as far as porters go, and I’m not sure I would use the word robust here. I’ve actually had a rainy day today, and this is not what I would want to drink for the day.
Google Shop Average: Foolproof Raincloud $9 for 6-Pack

Kilbeggan Traditional Irish Whiskey 750mL
As promised here we have some irish whiskey’s mostly due to a sampler pack I bought, but I figured I should get something else, and this one came with a nice flask. While I am fine with everything but the actual taste I don’t think this is the irish whiskey I would ever want or need.
Charles Henri Amber Ale
Charles Henri Amber Ale: 5.0 – While it is not a run-of-the-mill amber the beer has it’s fair share of pros and cons in taste that ultimately make it not worth my time or yours.
Google Shop Average: Charles Henri Amber Ale $6
White Birch Small Batch Ale – Oaked Wee Heavy
Oaked Wee Heavy: 5.5 – I have a suspicion that someone at White Birch is having a laugh by calling this a wee heavy. They previously had a scottish style as an apprentice series and as part of their small batch we get another kind. I say this because this beer can be best classified as a nap.
Google Shop Average: Oaked Wee Heavy $8

Spud Potato Vodka 750mL
Not gonna lie folks but the next few weeks are just vodka’s and whiskies from Scotland and Ireland. All summer was more interesting and seasonal things, but it’s back to doing what we likely do a bit too much of. By which I mean trying to take those large walls of vodka from your local store and tell you why 85% of it should be flat out avoided. Hey speaking of.
