Dave G is drinking a Wicked Whoopie by Rising Tide Brewing Company
Can't pin the aroma down. Chocolate fwd, very sweet character, creamy, lactose sweetness & then just an edge of lactose sourness balancing the finish. Another nice game night brew! 3¾⭐

Dave G is drinking a La Chouffe Blond by Brasserie d'Achouffe
Only slightly hop fwd, more pronounced than I expect from 20 IBUs, but not at the malt's expense. Bright and fruity, great coriander presence with a little biscuity bready depth to finish. Nicely balanced. 4⭐

Dave G is drinking an Ungourdly Hour by Newport Craft Brewing Co.
Medium-bodied and sweet. Allspice and nutneg, toffee and caramel, blackstap molasses, nice rich brown base. Pleasant roasty bitterness. Decently complex. 4⭐

Dave G is drinking a Mc Chouffe by Brasserie d'Achouffe
Light bodied brown, toffeeish and malty but I'm not getting a lot else. Maybe a tiny bit of the alleged anise/licorice but I'm usually pretty averse to that. More or less just a plain brown. Decent but...eh. 3½⭐

Very sweet fruity aroma. Watermelon candy from start to finish, like a smoothie + typical wheat ale base. They somehow avoided making it cloyingly sweet & it doesn't feel artificial. Bit refreshing but needs acid. Wish they said which hops they used. 3¾⭐
