Berkshire Holidale
Berkshire Holidale: 6.5 – Fairly dark for a holiday ale (apparently an American Barleywine), but it’s got some tartness that’s not really going well with the rest of it.
Google Shop Average: Berkshire Holidale $5
Pretty Little Things White Rabbit
Pretty Little Things White Rabbit: 6.0 – It’s actually got an interesting taste to it, but then the hops just come in and trash the place.

Kamchatka Vodka 750mL
Okay let’s go back to vodka then considering how that rum went. Oh no, it’s another bottom basement shelf review vodka. Ladies and gents – if you are paying 8 bucks for a bottle of a base spirit – I’m sorry but in no way is that possibly a deal – the bottle and shipping is like 8 bucks even in bulk.
Against the Grain Oyster Stout
Against the Grain Oyster Stout: 5.5 –While it’s certainly better than the other oyster stout I’ve had – I may just not be a huge fan of the brine this beer brings to the table, and while for the type I assume it must be fairly good – I do have to consider it against other stouts to a degree.
(This was a local brew I had on tap (it may not even be bottled) while in Louisville. If you like Oysters and are in town, it’s worth a try)

White Birch Eorna Ceol Ale
White Birch Eorna Ceol Ale: 6.5 – Another White Birch Apprentice Series that’s just fantastic (seriously if there’s are interns they better have jobs). This is classified as a ‘Scottish Style Wee Heavy Ale’ I have no idea if I’ve had something else that falls under that category, if it’s even a real category and not just something a scottish person said to try and describe it, but I want more.

Wormtown Brewery Mass Whole Hefeweizen Ale
Wormtown Brewery Mass Whole Hefeweizen Ale: 6.0 – Going a bit local this week. Fairly standard Hefeweizen, but the bit of clove and banana give it a more Fall spice kind of feeling than a summer citrus type of beer. Very good for a late-summer beer.
(from Boston.com, normally if we lack image we just take from their site, but no good pics.)
