Sixpoint’s Hi-Res should come with a disclaimer: "Warning: May cause lupulin jealously when drinking other IPAs." In a nutshell, this beer is intense and not for the faint-hearted. The aroma provides a massive punch of resinous, orange, catty and papaya hop aromas with moderate alcohol and light... Read More

Gerry Dog Stout by Big Elm Brewing is being evaluated as an Oatmeal Stout (2015 BJCP Category 16B) due to its self-proclaimed style.

True to being a stout, you’ll be bombarded by baker’s chocolate, earthy coffee and bread. A moderate nuttiness akin to walnuts follows as does a lower level... Read More

Dark Subject Matter by Monday Night Brewing is being evaluated as a traditional Imperial Stout (2015 BJCP Category 20C). Black as midnight, rich as motor oil are two of the best phrases for this luscious beer that sits beneath a persistent brown, finely textured head.
