Captain Mikes Stout Samplers

This week a group of my collegues and I sampled an assortment of different stouts. For anyone who isn't familiar with stout beers, they are dark in color and rich in taste and alchohol content. They are generally brewed with roasted malt, barley, and hops, along with additives making each one unique. I will be posting a video sometime this week when my computer with the video clips gets back to me from Apple. So keep posted everyone, because the video is going to be worth seeing!

SPRING/SUMMER TIME

Leinenkugel has come out with a variety of beers which compliment each season. This week I tasted their Sunset Wheat. It is a wheat beer and is very rich in flavor and aroma. Pouring it down the middle of the glass is the suggested way of serving it. This is supposed to release all natural flavors and aroma. Served cold (approximately 40 degrees F), with cheese, fish, or poultry is hard to beat the crisp sweet flavor. It almost has an initial taste compared to that of Cheerios. I would rate this beer a 4.3 out of 5 on my scale.

FLO-RIDA BARELY POP

During my Spring Break in Panama City Beach I was able to enjoy the crisp tasting Land Shark Lager, which is Jimmy Buffets line of beer. I was very impressed with the overall taste of the Lager. I am not usually a fan of beer which is hyped up by a celebrity. I would give this beer a 3.8 out of 5 on my scale.
