Beer
Budweiser American Ale Why? There are better ales out there. This one is correct in everything but undistinguished in anything. The bottle is nice, presentation is appealing. Color is medium amber with toast colored head. Body is medium. Aromas of hop slight without the characteristic Cascade aroma I expect. Aroma is slightly washed out. Little bit of sourness or cider on the entry nice mouthfeel a little too carbonated. Finish is short and weak.
Highland Clawhammer Oktoberfest At first nose a little yeasty. As it opened up, good malt note from Munich malt. Hop aromas were light pleasant but a bit diffuse. Weight was good with a little roundness from malt in the palate. Malt aroma was faint not pronounced. Balance good with good finish slightly sweet from malt. This should develop over time.
Highland Imperial Mocha Stout High gravity. Sweet to almost a fault. Nice coffee aroma and great dark head, a bit creamy with caramel notes. Middle is nice and dark with good intensity. Finish is slightly bitter and balance is tilted toward malt. GH
