MrSpooks Profile

Solid dry porter, notes of bittersweet chocolate and dark roast coffee against a chalky, piney bitterness. Finishes smooth with lingering unsweetened chocolate in the fade. Nice pint.

Reserve from Sapporo Breweries

5.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 7 Overall 5.5

No adjuncts = better Sapporo. Nice toasted bread maltiness, with a modest floral bitter streak on the finish. Definitely the preferred Sapporo.

423 Lager from NoFo Brew Co

5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 4 Texture 7 Overall 4.5

Very basic American lager, somewhat sweet and corny with a hint of floral hops on the back end. Probably nice on at a hot afternoon CFC match.

Old Numbskull - Rum Barrel Aged (2025) from AleSmith Brewing Company

8.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8.5 Texture 10 Overall 8.5

Pretty damn amazing pint. Caramel, apple, pine, toasted waffles(?), oak, and rum, and this beast drinks like a 5% kölsch. Delicious.

Blue Ribbon Grillo's Pickles from Pabst Brewing Company

2 months ago

2.3/10 — Appearance 2 Aroma 2 Flavor 1.5 Texture 6 Overall 1.5

Disconcertingly sweet, lacking much in the department of briney dill goodness. Pickle-ish, sure, but mostly a watered-down gimmick beer. Who authorized this?

Close Encounter from Pipeworks Brewing Company

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Labeled as a black IPA, 6.5% ABV. Roasty notes of coffee and unsweetened chocolate, backed up with cascara, grapefruit, orange pith, and pine, with a moderate pine bitterness on the finish. Pretty good.

Ice Cold Phatty from Sweetwater Brewing Company

2 months ago

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6.5 Texture 8 Overall 6.5

Grapefruit pith and dank against a grainy sweetness underlined by fruity lager notes and a slight vegetal funkiness on the fade. Pine-floral bitterness on the finish. Decent.
