13/994) Home: Black Magic Woman by Hornbeer of Denmark: *; 10%; brewed with roasted malt, peat smoked malt, birch smoked malt, caramel and ale malts; the nose is sweet and chocolaty with smoke; not nearly as revolting as the Sunturnbrew of a couple of days ago, which tasted as I imagine the ash trays did at end of night in the (un-missed) days when one could smoke indoors; peaty, chocolate notes with a finish like a cigarette butt; I was, however, able to finish this one but just the same it's one and done for this beer;
14/995) Home: Hipster Ale by Eviltwin Brewing of Connecticut: *1/2; a 5.5% APA; "an homage to you - the global hipster"; citrusy, pleasantly hopped nose; to my hop-scarred palate it tastes a bit washed out; it's certainly not over the top just modestly bitter;
My eldest son has accused me of being a hipster so I appreciated the joke as much as the gesture when he presented me with this.
