Beermas Day 24! The last day of beermas. Another great year in the books. I did drink this on the 24th proper but late check-in. Tasty way to celebrate!

Beermas Day 23! Still not sure these are beer, but they are darn tasty. Thick, creamy, sweet, sour, mmmm.

Beermas Day 22! Interesting ale. Glad to have it as part of the rotation, but not rushing out to buy a case. Sweet vanilla nose. Taste is not as sweet as I'd expect. At >8%, could be dangerous because I can't tell it's an imperial.

Beermas Day 21! Final Four! This hazy double is full bodied and certainly on the heavy side. Couple of these would definitely put on the beer goggles. Oats add a nice soft creaminess to balance the citrus notes.

Beermas Day 18! Nice sweet dessert beer to wind down after a busy Saturday. Chocolatey notes, full bodied. Very nice.

Beermas Day 17! Little Boozy. Might be the highest ABV I've had in a double. Get the pine notes. Getting an off oaky/tannin after taste. Not loving it, maybe I'm not in the right mood.

Beermas Day 15! Thought this was going to be really bitter from the smell, but not at all. Nice brew

Beermas Day 14! Barrel aged can be hit or miss to me but this is great. Done properly to take the edge off of maibach but not too much oak. Really enjoyable.

Beermas Day 13! This is a great hazy. My favorite kind of hoppy bitterness that balances perfectly with no lingering bitterness. Good fruity tropical notes,

Beermas Day 12 - Halfway! Nice dessert beer. Not too sweet, well balanced. Maybe a touch on light side speaking of body and flavor.

Light flavor, want a little more, but very drinkable. Could session these in hot weather.

Beermas Day 8! Mmm this would be crushable in the summer. Still good on a cold day too. Very tart and tasty. The hops play their supporting role well to balance the flavor but don't try and be the flavor.

Beermas Day 7! This got really good after it warmed up in the glass after a few minutes. Nice roasty/toasty notes. Definitely boozy but not so much that it is offensive. Really nice and smooth.
