Shiner Chocolate Stout: 4.5 – A little too much chocolate for my taste, those with a sweet tooth would likely enjoy this.

Margaritaville Silver Tequila 750mL
I think this will be the last of the reasonably priced silver tequilas that we’ve been trying this year. As they keeping having faults that make it really hard to justify not spending a bit more. At least with what we’ve seen with Reposado there is a variance. Here we either get a terrible sweetness mixed with bland flavoring, or the flavor is off to the point of wondering what exactly they are doing to your spirit.
Rincon Rivermouth Stout
Rivermouth Stout: 5.5 – As for an oatmeal/coffee stout this is actually pretty good, sadly I am not a huge fan of stouts that lean too heavily on sharp tastes instead of deep flavors.

Rincon Saison
Rincon Saison: 5.5 – Nice bit of flavor too it, and the more farmhouse style (as opposed to the supposed belgian style of their blonde) is a welcome addition to the taste here.

Gosling’s Gold Bermuda Rum 750mL
It’s been a while singe I last looked to buy Gosling’s (my days of drinking 151 are long over). However I decided to see what their gold would taste like (although I feel they should have called it their red). Not to spoil but when I tried Gosling’s 151 I was taken aback with how sweet it was as well, and that trend seems to have continued.
Rincon MacBrown Brown Ale
Rincon MacBrown: 4.0 – The nuttiness of the brown ale certainly shows here, but otherwise the beer lacks a real impact – from a microbrew this was the beer I was hoping they would just ‘get right’ but alas.

Rincon Blonde Ale
Rincon Blonde: 3.0 – It’s meant to be light and refreshing, but they went a little too far – this isn’t like drinking water – it’s more like drinking air.

Exclusiv Vodka 750mL
Alright enough scotch, back to vodka (we should consider a gin binge). This time we go back once again to my least favorite friend, the bottom shelf. Because when you know you are buying ingredients for russians, the idea of a 10 dollar vodka seems enticing. You remember though that in most cases it may be 10 dollars, but it’s not 10 dollars well spent.
