99 Bears on the Wall from Bear Island Brewing Company

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Draft at Bear Island taproom. Dark brown, ring of tight head. Aroma is leather, tobacco, dry leaves and some cough syrup. Taste is more of the earthy malts, peat, with some sweet mint notes. Seems just a tad off.

Taster at Growler guys. Medium amber, small ring of foam. Aroma and taste are caramel. Dryness too. More of an amber or Vienna. Was lokking forward to a straight up bock. This isn't it.

Taster at Bittercreek. Dark brown pour with carpet of tan head, which lasts for awhile. Aroma is brown bread and toasty malts. Taste comes in fuller, warm brown bread, with a nice bitterness which remains on the tongue. Would love to see a cask version of this....

Draft at CopenRoss. Bright golden, slight haze, small creamy head. Aroma, while featuring the cukes, does obscure the grainy badr. Taste has the cukes more prominently up front. Light, tasty and perfect accompianment to a club sandwich.

Taster at BitterCreek. Dark brown with spotty head. Peaty, earthy aroma, full. Taste is spot on, all the right buttons. Sweet, bitter and dirty. I'll fess up, I was expecting to hate, but this is damn good . Screaming for some barrel aging. Rum?

Idaho Potato Ale - Fresh Hop from Bear Island Brewing Company

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Grunt fill from Albertsons. Dark amber with one finger fluffy head. Nice malty aroma, bread. Taste is also malty, with a nice mellow hop bitterness. wonderful feel to this too, creamy and smooth. Not a huge hoppy IPA, more a nod to the English style with some potato flour for texture.
