Thomas F is drinking an Oh-J by Lone Pine Brewing Company
Citrus bomb of grapefruit and orange. Great mouthfeel with lingering hops.

Thomas F is drinking a Shannon Cream Stout by Checkerspot Brewing Co.
Beautiful creamy round mouthfeel. Satisfying malt keeps me going back for another sip. Appearance points detracted only for lack of head.

Thomas F is drinking a Christmas Ale (2006) by Anchor Brewing Company
Stored vertically at cellar temperature for 18years. Cap failure, no hiss at open, no perceived carbonation. Very smooth with gentle floral notes in the finish. (Perhaps horizontal storage would have helped?)

Take a trip to Danktown. Very satisfying earthiness with gentle malt undertones.
