Samuel Adams Cinder Bock


Beer:  Samuel Adams Cinder Bock
Brewer: Boston Beer Company
Source: 22 oz. bottle
Rating: *** (7.2 of 10)
Comments:  The image of the goat on the label is wholly apropos as this beer has a kick.  “It smells and tastes like bacon!” I exclaimed to my friend Craig.  As a vegetarian, I’m not all that impressed by bacon, but I did enjoy the smokey flavor for a change of pace.  The beer mellows in the glass and there is a sweeter caramel toffee flavor as it goes down.  It also packs a wallop with a high ABV.  Definitely something a beer adventurer should experience at least once.

Beer Review: Backlash Redux


Beer: Redux Belgian Style Blond Ale
Brewer: Backlash Beer Company
Source: 22 oz. bottle
Rating: *** (7 of 10)
Comments:  This is a reformulation of Backlash’s Groundswell beer. It’s a golden/orange beer with a big bubbly head.  The aroma is reminiscent of sweet green tea and the taste has subtle apple flavors with a sweet aftertaste. It’s pleasant and benign.
