18, 19 and 20!

I absolutely love Oskar Blues' cans and the head on this beer.  Starting off with the Old Chub tonight.  This great big scotch ale makes me wonder why I'd ever drink anything lighter again.  It has a lot of chocolate going on and some light smokiness. Smells sweet like you're more savory candies - carmels maybe.

Warsteiner.  Oh, man! I did not like this beer.  I'm not much of a Pilsner fan, but I really can't imagine this is ordered by non-mug challengers.  Very skunky.  Check out Beer Advocate for a less negative opinion.

So close to my heart... Pretty Things.  Bombers only!  The Jack D'or is unfortunately the only Pretty Things on the mug challenge menu.  It has a nice floral hop and hints of clove, some get bananas.  The head is frothy and has good staying-time, laces moderately down your glass.
