Avery Brewing Company - Mephistopheles Stout

Pours deep dark brown/black with a dark brown head that starts at one finger and dissipates quickly. Smells of roasted malts and alcohol. Taste starts with a bitter coffee bite and finishes smoother with chocolates. Feel has a nice early sharp tingle that smoothes away. Overall sweet, high ABV both lend to one and done status for me, but keep in the style pretty well.

Rating: Good

ABV: 15.1%

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery - World Wide Stout

Pours a deep dark brown, almost black, very opaque. Head pours a light brown approx two fingers. Smell has notes of vamilla, roasty malts, and the alcohol is extremely noticable. Taste is again malty and very sweet with some vanilla notes, but the alcohol almost dominates. Good mouth feel with light carbonation and definite alcohol warming. Too sweet for my taste, and alcohol is too prevalent.

Rating: Good

ABV: 18.0%

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery - 120 Minute IPA

Pours very cloudy, golden amber color, pours with a slight head that sticks around shortly then crowns the beer. Smell is alcohol and fruity. Tastes very fruity and sweet. Alcohol extremely prominent. Feel is slightly chewy with light carbonation, smooth and oily. Drinkable in the sense that it is very enjoyable, one per session, too sweet, and too potent. A beer that is good, but in my mind is meant to be savored on occasion.
