Edmund Imperial Stout (Bourbon Barrel) from Fitgers Brewhouse
20 years ago
8.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 10 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottled. Dark black. Rich tobacco aroma. Sweet, woody and very chocolatey. Very malty with loads of toffee and some soy sauce. Extremely rich and warming. An overpowering beer with lots and lots going on.

Smoldering Kilt Smoked Scottish Ale from Fitgers Brewhouse

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
I generally don’t care for smoke, but this beer did it well. Besides the smoke aroma the beer is simple with a sweet malt flavor. It needs more body, but goes down easy enough. It is cool to see a brewpub attempting something like this.

Procrastinator Dopplebock from Fitgers Brewhouse
20 years ago
5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
No Spaten or Paulaner but a good double anyway. It has the standard bock qualities and does all of them well enough. Malt and carmel aroma, sweet flavor with hidden alcohol.

Edmund Imperial Stout (Bourbon Barrel) from Fitgers Brewhouse

8.6/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 10 Overall 8.5
Top rate. Oak everywhere, in the aroma and flavor. Aroma also has roasted malt and bourbon. Bourbon in the flavor as well, along with more malt, chocolate, coffee and tobacco in the complex flavor. It could be a hair thicker on the palate, but this is a great beer for sure.

Blue Label Grande Reserve from Fitgers Brewhouse

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Fitger’s came through with this beer. Rotting fruit aromas and flavors. Very dark brown, with a thick and heavy body. Not as malty as the real thing. I had no idea the abv was so high when I was drinking it.

Apostle Apple Ale from Fitgers Brewhouse
20 years ago
6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 6.5
It is hard to overstate how sweet this beer is; and the sweetness seems to be from sugar. The sweetness is much stronger than the sour apple flavor. Light yellow color.

Double Daisy Ale from Fitgers Brewhouse
20 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 7
One of the highlights of the 2005 ABR. Very powerful hops; so much so that it is definitely a sipper. Very dark red. Some herbal qualities in the aroma and flavor. Good work.
