Great new beers on tap:

Founders Breakfast Stout - This American Double or Imperial Stout is brewed with flaked oats, bitter and sweetened imported chocolates, Sumatra and Kona coffee. Pours a deep black with a rich creamy tan head. The aroma is a blend of coffee, coco, oats and some light hops. A burst of coffee, chocolate and bitterness provide for a luscious flavor. 8.3 ABV.

Left Hand Milk Stout - This brew is dark amber in color with a creamy tan head and aromas of dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Very creamy with the undertones of chocolate and coffee in the taste as well. An easy stout to drink!

Left Hand Terra-rye'zd - A colaboration effort between Left Hand and Terrapin brewery. This Rye beer pours a dark reddish brown with a thin tan head. Smells of rye, hints of sweet malt and touches of roast. Sweet but roasty malts with a balanced bitterness, and loads of rye to play with as well. 6.60 ABV.

Great new beers in bottle:

Lagunitas IPA - As the bottle says, this brew is "homicidally hoppy". Pale copper color with a mild head. Very clean hops, good medium body and a nice malt and hop finish - hops dominate.

Samuel Smith Organic Cider - Brillant straw color, light body and a clean apple flavor with gentle apple blossom finish

Bear Republic Big Bear Stout - This tastes what a Russian-style Imperial Stout should taste like. All rich, big, bold, and roasty with a beautiful hop underpinning. The flavor is intense so if you think you can't handle it, leave it to the pros. 8.1% ABV just to let you know.

Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye - Another great brew by Bear Republic that uses 20% rye, this Hop Rod pours a deep haxy brown, and bold fluffy off white head which fortifies the aromas of sweet roasty hops and bold maltiness. Slight bitter chocolate, spiced hops and malty sweetness with a bold bit of rye are to follow. 8.0%

New Holland Full Circle - This pale lager beer has a nice malt nose and a light body - though the taste is still rich. It has a well balanced finish. A nice refreshing, easy going beer.

Westmalle Dubbel - This trappist ale is the definition of the dubbel style. Russet-brown with a fluffy tan head and shows aromatics of raisin-bread, plums, dates and bananas. Soft, but complex fruit, chocolate and an overall impression of a tawny port. Clean and dry finish with moderate lingering bitterness. 7.0% ABV

Leffe Blond - Rich, yeasty taste; bright golden in color; light bodied with a dry, spicy aroma.

Rogue Double Dead Guy - Mohogany in color, rich full palate of rich toffee and caramel. Aroma is loaded with floral notes. The taste is blended nicely with a fresh spicy hop charector.
