Red Brick Ale

Brewery: Atlanta Brewing Co.
Location: Atlanta, GA
Style: Brown Ale
Website: atlantabrewing.com
1st Taste: Chocolaty a nice bitter with a clean finish.
2nd Taste: earthy chocolaty mix, not too sweet. kinda semi-sweet which is the bitter-balance.
3rd Taste: I cold polish this off quick if I wasn't trying to savor the flavor so much, goes down easy.
Final: A great beer anytime but especially in the cooler months. Sit in front of a fire and watch the leaves fall while enjoying a nice Red Brick Ale.

Celis Grand Cru

Brewery: Michigan Brewing Company
Location: Webberville, MI
Style: Belgian Style Ale
Website: michiganbrewing.com/celis/celis1.htm
1st Taste: Surprising toasty with flavor that sticks. The bottle says "beer brewed with herbs and spices," but this is no KFC beer.
2nd taste: Very grainy flavor, nice with a full meal, some citrus noted.
3rd taste: No need to chug here, there's a lot of flavors going on and you really should slow down to appreciate.
Overall: A complex beer, something to enjoy and pace yourself...it has an 8% alcohol content so I'm feeling nice, warm & toasty.
Let's pair up this beauty with Greg Brown's dream cafe. Sit back relax and settle in, take your time and appreciate life for awhile. I'll call it a deep thinker.

Brooklyn Lager

Brewery: The Brooklyn Brewery
Location: Duh! (well...Utica actually)
Style: Pre-prohibition Style Lager
5.2% alc
Website: brooklynbrewery.com
1st Taste: Good n' Hoppy, substantial flavor, nice amber color.
2nd: Reminiscent of a Sam Adams which I'm a big fan of.
3rd: Real connoisseurs (which I'm not..really) would say "chewy."
Overall: Very good beer. Crisp, full of flavor. Kinda reminds me of crunchy leaves in the fall, I love it's richness. I could wolf down a sixer in no-time, while enjoying every drop.
Dedication: I promise I won't dedicate every brew to a hot comic babe....But.... I'm going with Phoenix on this one, sassy and fiery. A real Classic

My first notebook entry

Dear Marvel Hero's Diary,
This book is hereby dedicated to documenting the not-so-juvenile art of beer tasting and other ponderences (if that is indeed a word...it's not i know).
My first subject is as follows:

Brewery: Choc
Location: Krebs, OK
Style: Black Lager
Website: chocbeer.com

1st taste: unsweetened chocolate with caramel, maybe coffee - nice finish
2nd taste: mmmm...flavor filled with a good bitterness
3rd taste: kinda desert-ish with a nice finish
Overall: Quite a tasty treat. Good for fall or winter (cause you know I like a refresher when it gets warm).
Dedicated to: Of the marvel hero's that would appreciate this beer, I'm going with Storm; strong, black, sexy with a hint of sweetness. (that first beer always goes straight to "the Thing" so I hope all my reviews aren't dedicated to sexy female comic hero's...i guess we'll see)
