Toppling Goliath IPAs

A good friend brought me three beers from the Brewery in Decora, Sosa, King Sue and Zeelander in 22 oz bottles.  Fran and I first split the Zeelander 😁, excellent nose, great taste, good beer, hop from New Zealand.  Yummy
Second I opened a Sosa, double IPA, different nose, different taste, but really good beer.  One hop, Mosaic, really good.  Double yumm.  Photo is of the Sosa. 

I am waiting to open a King Sue.  

Brew Lab for their beers, Kolsch, Porter, Chocolate Porter, Nuthouse Brown, Belgium Pale Ale

Kolsch very drinkable, refreshing
Chocolate Porter let get and refreshing, chocolate hints not overpowering.
Nuthouse Brown, again good drinkable beer.
Belgium Pale, has the Belgium nose, Belgium back of tongue taste.  If you like Belgium this could be your beer.  Not my glass of beer.

Bier Station stouts, Torn Label, Stone, Coop Ale Works, Against the Grain

So, first off,
Torn Label, House Brew Stout, a good Stout, coffee nose and taste, good beer, coffee, chocolate
Stone WOOT Imperial barrel aged Stout, collaboration with a bunch of people, sweet molasss nose, good dark color, very smooth, very good beer.
Coop Ale Works, Territorial Reserve: BBA Imperial Stout, good dark color, bourbon nose, smooth not bitter, good beer
And last but not least
Against the Grain, Burned at the Stake Stout, so smoke nose, duh, you get the smoke nose and taste, smooth but smokey.  Not Fran's most liked.

Five stars for Woot
Four stars for Territorial Reserve
