Yes, that is Zack with a k, not an h. Now we bought this because Chelmsford, MA is unique, and because we are still staunch fans of the Ezra Brooks – as what looks like a knockoff is 10 times the original. However, we have to contend with the other side of the spectrum and whether this is really more like an Evan Williams.
Domaine Dupage: 6.0 – It’s not really a sort of highly spiced sort of beer, really more like some toasted carmel mixed with hops. The result is actually kinda nice, and makes for a great fall sort of beer that isn’t going to be a more complex fest beer.
Price Average: $2.50

It’s a sweet sugary mess. Sorry, but there’s no need or cause for pretext here, this is a bad rum. It’s barely okay as some craft liqueur meant to be used with bitters and other spirits. We understand that fermentation occurs because the yeast eats sugar, and is then distilled – but this needs about 100 more years to eat through.
A Tiny Beautiful Something: 6.0 – It was slightly worrying given Maine brewing companies proclivity for hoppier beers.However while this is as usual for them on the hoppier side for a pale ale it’s not a step too far, but is close to an APA. Given that it’s a mostly standard and forgettable beer.

To Øl 1 Ton of… Pineapple: 5.0 – Yeah, that’s a bunch on pineapple dude. You can smell the damn thing going in and having a sip while it’s not the sweet canned pinappleyou get from your fruit snacks or a ham, it’s very much like a pineapple juice w/o a lot of sugar. It’s honestly a bit too much to truly enjoy drinking (unless you into that), but does intrigue us for cooking purposes.

We don’t care much for important footnotes – so this is basically an upgraded Stoli. Now we have reviewed Stoli before and the results – well they weren’t good. This is – well it is better, but at what cost?
Russian Ending: 4.5 – A bit too malty it tastes more flat carbonation wise but that malty flavor is as powerful as the roasted hops you want for a stout. It’s on the lower side for imperial, but it’s not noticeable either. Overall it’s not stellar drinking, but does disappate in flavor rather quickly.
Price Average: $15 for 4 pack

Knob Creek has been a common sight in stores and bars, but it’s never graced our site – until now. The verdict? Well, it’s another whiskey suffering from the 100 proof count, and the sweet bourbon flavors does little to help. We do personally know the rye as an okay Old Fashioned, but we’re in bourbon county now.
