Cuvee Van de Keizer Beer: 3.0 – That’s too many words. Like as a beer that’s so much. Sorry the last sentence wasn’t about the name, but the beer itself. There’s so much going on, but overall there’s a cloying sweetness that you can’t escape from. It’s like being stuck in a sugary black hole – it’s astounding and so much is intriguing, but you will die of sugar.
Price Average: $13

Aventinus Wheat Doppelbock: 7.0 – There’s some banana but the overall is more wheat instead of something nutty like other dobbelbocks can be. It’s also super easy to drink.
Price Average: $5

We often get to say this because our brand is honesty and we give -Infinity fucks what spirit makers or marketers want people to say about their products – so Fuck This Rum. We’ll mention below this might get a slight second wind with eggnog, but if that’s all your rum has to live by? Fuck you.
Abbey Ale Dubbel: 6.5 – There’s some meat and fruit, and it’s really nice tasting. The problem is while not sugary – the sweetness here is just a bit too much to make it not great.
Price Average: $9

Kasteel Rouge Ale: 6.0 – It’s a nice slightly tart and sour beer, and the cherry is a nice addition. The smell alone brings back childhood candy for better or worse. Overall though unless you are seeking out cherries and particularly not fresh cherry taste – this isn’t something you’d buy.
Price Average: $12

We saw the name here and thought – hey that sounds vaguely familiar. Then the name John Rackham came up and we instantly knew it. Because of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. (This post sponsored by Ubisoft – but no not really we’d never take their money). However if we wanted to give a true lead-in before the fold we’d stop making video game reference and joke that this is less ‘Calico Jack’ and more ‘Carmel Jack’
