I haven't found many sours I've liked even a little!
Voyager's Getaway by Humble Forager. An Imperial Pastry Porter with Coconut, Vanilla, and Cocoa. 12% ABV, 91 (4.17/5) on Beer advocate. With the richness and ABV, it's a spectacular porter to split a can two or three ways with friends on a cold night (so this one won't get because I'm the only one here that drinks). Background is lanterns in the tree just downhill from the cabin I'm in.

Thunderstruck Coffee Porter by Highland Brewing. Definitely coffee - a bit moreso than I usually like (a bit bitter?) but not bad. If you want a coffee beer, this might be it. Beer advocate gives it an 88 (very good) and 3.93/5. 5.8% ABV. Last weekend for the tree being up.
In other news, my not-quite-teen learned that not all the green-gold cans he might grab out of the fridge are ginger-ale... and that a chocolate porter tastes very different than ginger-ale! He was decidedly not a fan.

Hi-Wire Brewing 10W-40. Imperial Stout brewed with Coffee, Chocolate & Vanilla. Wow that's smooth. Nice flavor - my brain keeps wanting it to be thicker/heavier, but it's not (and I think that's a good thing). 8% ABV. The 92 (Outstanding), 4.16/5, on Beer Advocate seems justified.

It was pointed out on my FB page that that's a lot of head. I will confess to being a completely inept pourer, that was right down the middle.

A dry few weeks.
Monteith's Phoenix IPA.
NZ beer on special at supermarket. $20/dozen ($14 USD approx) 5% ABV.
Here we have two major breweries that on most beer plus imported and microbrewery.
This is from the one I'm not such a fan of but Monteith's is the best they have imho. I've posted their pilsner here before.
Well this one is a disappointment. Watery, barely hopped with slightly bitter aftertaste. Even for the price one can find better.
Still cheap enough and drinkable just a bit average. Wouldn't buy again same price as my Krombacher so fairly pointless buying it. 6/10 meh.
Drinking a second bottle now, 10 more to go. Probably take a week.

Southern Tier Salted Caramel Imperial Ale. Wasn't sure what to expect on this one. It's trying really hard to be cream soda. I like beer, I like cream soda, this is not the way to combine the tastes. It isn't bad, but either separate would be better. Apparently they also make a Salted Caramel Imperial Stout. 8.6% ABV. 89 (Very Good), 4.19 out of 5 seems high.
Poured this one correclty-ish (as far as not having a huge head like the last one), but messed up the exposure on the picture.
