Weihenstephaner Dunkel: 6.5 – A lot of good flavor overall here, and it has a unique balance between fruityness, meatyness, and beeryness.

Martin Miller’s Gin 750mL
Here at week 2 of gin reviews and we are know in a gin that comes to us from England, that was then shipped to Iceland, and has been described as being made similar to a Scottish single malt – because why not. However while last week we had a good martini gin, this is simply mediocre and overpriced to compensate.
Allagash Dubbel
Allagash Dubbel: 5.5 –I am overall quite a fan of the taste, and it’s another solid beer from Allagash. It however is not a great beer, and I was hoping for a bit more from Allagash and a bit more in a dubbel.

Woodstock Inn Brewery Pigs Ear Brown Ale
Pigs Ear Brown Ale: 6.0 – It’s got a sweet flavor to it, but it’s not a sugary mess like some beers with a sweet tooth. That being said I sort of dislike the sweetness to the beer.

Cold River Traditional Gin 750mL
Alright time for some gin since it’s been a while (and we’ve fallen into the trap of just getting New Amsterdam and Tanqueray 10 all over again.) For the first gin (yes there will be another next week) we went with an American gin which comes to us from Maine.
Kelsen Paradigm Brown Ale
Kelsen Paradigm Brown Ale: 5.5 – Quite hoppy for a brown ale. I’m not a terribly huge fan of it, but it is an otherwise solid beer.

Nikka Whiskey 12yr Taketsuru 750mL
Our part 2 of New Hampshire scotch adventures, and of course some people just muttered/shouted that this is not in fact scotch. This is due to the fact that it actually comes from Japan despite its presence in the scotch aisle of every store. Japan has been making waves recently in the whiskey market, most notably with Sunatory buying many whiskey making companies, and with it’s own well-known/imported whiskies. Hibiki and this, Nikka.
