Wormtown Tennessee Tats Stout
Wormtown Tennessee Tats Stout: 5.,5 – This has all the makings of a barrel aged stout, the heaviness, gravity and sweetness. Nothing special though beyond the type
Price Average: $12 for Half-Growler

Quilmes Cerveza
Quilmes: 3.0 – That doesn’t taste like a beer. You can tell there is some sort of wheat or grain product that it comes from and that’s it really. Not strong or complex either just like grain in a wet sock or something. This is sad because making an Argentina beer a ‘6’ would have been funny
Price $3

Glen Garioch 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL
We begin our month of scotch with something a little more on the lower end. Glen Garioch is by no means a bad scotch, but when you compare it to other highland scotchs even the basics of Highland Park are better. If you don’t read anything further just please go find a better highland scotch, maybe an Ardmore or Deanston’s.
Smuttynose Smut Labs Nott Dark Farmhouse Ale
Nott: 7.0 –There’s a lot of head, but that makes sense for a farmhouse and ‘lab’ beer. The darkness though is what adds the extra level of flavor that makes it good.
Price Average: $12

Sagres
Name: 5.5 – It actually tastes quite nice, if only for the 0.3 seconds it hangs around to provide a taste. This really is like a mayfly. You wish it’d just keep going. But no. nothing spectacular or great. But something there, and then go before you realize.
Price $7

The Botanist Gin 750mL
Before we delve into another month or so of scotch (we went to Scotland, fight us. Good news is it will end with a distillery tour of Oban, including special versions!) we’ll first review a gin. From Scotland. What we didn’t feel like going that far.
Trooper Red and Black ‘Iron Maiden’ Porter
Trooper Red and Black Porter: 4.5 – The way you cam tell this is smoked is by how sweet it is without being sugary. It’s overall an okay beer, but if asked why you would want to drink it there are little reasons you could provide. Sure it’s interesting, but not desirable. This is part of a series, of which we’ve had the 666.
Price Average: $6
