Day 9 – Chocolate Milk Stout

When I opened the beer for today, I was pretty ecstatic to see 4 Hands Brewery’s Chocolate Milk Stout.  I have already tried this beer before, but it is definitely one of my own favorites.  It’s a beer that is great to drink during the cold months.  The smooth taste of this beer is amazing….

Day 8 – Synchopathic Wild Sour Series

On Thursday, December 8th I opened today’s beer and it’s called Synchopathic Wild Sour Series from Destihl Brewery out of Bloomington, IL. It is characterized as a dry-hopped sour ale. As I tasted this, it definitely has a sour taste at the end, but it also has a cider-like flavor, too. This beer is one…

Day 7 – Fresh Squeezed IPA

Wednesday, December 7th is here which marks the 7th beer to try in the Advent box… I believe I have found a pattern… Non-IPA, IPA, Non-IPA, IPA… because today is just that.  When the tissue paper was unwrapped, and my prediction was true for the pattern, I sent a text to my sister saying I…

Day 3 – Phantasmagoria Double IPA!

On December 3rd, I opened the third beer which is a double IPA.  As a beer lover, IPAs are definitely not my favorite at all.  I do not recall if I had ever tasted a double IPA though, so since today was the day to do so… I gave it a shot.  This beer was…

Day 2 – Neapolitan Milk Stout!

On December 2nd, the Neapolitan Milk Stout 6% was opened.  When I smelled this, it reminded me of ice cream – you could definitely smell the strawberry flavor.  As I took the first sip, I tasted the hint of strawberry in the milk stout and at the end, a dark chocolate flavor.  So far this…
