102, 103, 104.

It's been a lazy headache-riddled day, but starting off with the Aventinus Double Bock.  Hair of the dog ended up working in my favor.  This beer has a nice three finger head and a dark carmel color.  Has a nice clove, spice flavor and pillowy mouth feel.  Finish is a little too sweet for my preference, but definitely a lot of interesting dark fruit notes going on here.  This is the "oldest wheat doppelbock of Bavaria."

Got to back it off a little... Grolsch.  This a clear, slim, even-headed lager.  Comes in a green bottle, so there's inevitably a little skunk aroma at first.  It's light and crisp.  I'll note this below, but this has been around since 1615!!

Beer: Grolsch Lager
ABV: 5%
Home: Enschede, Netherlands
Birth: 1615
Slogan: "Delicious, naturally aged beer"














Last minute decision on this third and last brew for the night.  It's been on tap for a while, and well, I've really got to take advantage of that when it happens.  The Baba, as in bah-bah black sheep or that's what I think of when I see this.  It's categorized as a black lager, but could almost pass for a stout.  Head is not quite white, not quite tan, and frothy.  A little smoky, not-so-sweet, biting bitter finish. It's also USDA Organic.  BAH!

Beer: Uinta Baba
