Killian’s Irish Stout: 4.0 – Now I am glad that I can get a Killian’s Red Ale in a lot of bars across the country, because it’s a good staple. When I saw this I was excited hoping it would be like Guinness’s Black Lager foray, sadly this is pretty par/subpar for a stout.

Okay again let’s get back to where we left off, by slowly reviewing more tequilas and rums, and because we’re not spending 60+ we regret the decision. Darn Justice got in my head and now I have ruined the article before the jump.
Lion Stout: 4.5 – The price isn’t bad, and in truth the stout isn’t either, it’s just this is a shelf filler, it’s not great, not many people are gonna buy it so that it sells out, and a few people will buy for the lion – but it’s much better at filling a shelf than being a great stout.

Double Rye Ale: 5.5 – As far as a Rye Ale goes, this is fairly standard – it has that characteristic difference that you get with Rye, but it’s not like it does a whole lot with that flavor.
Google Shop Average: Double Rye Ale $2 (I got a single as part of mix pack)

Dogfish Head Etru Sca: 7.5 – This is the king of weird beers, and at $16 that may seem like very much to spend on a beer that is a novelty, but it’s really worth it here. Maybe this isn’t something you get a lot, but is this something that as someone who drinks beer should buy and enjoy – oh hell yes.

Path of the Unknown: 8.5 – Really bold flavor and full bodied, this is a great beer, and I look forward to more from them. (Future Note: we tried their other beer and while good this is better). This is the kind of beer that scores really well with us, because while it has a nice complexity the flavor is really intense, but the beer as a whole still feels balanced.
Google Shop Average: Path of the Unknown $18

Alright so continuing our diverse coverage here, time for more scotch. We go a little lower this time though with Dewar’s White Label a common staple in bars and mixers – which always never made sense to me.
