Hh on the porch makes it harder to post quickly, so I'm three weeks behind.
DuClaw's Dirty Little Freak, Coconut Caramel Chocolate Brown Ale. It has a little bit more bitterness than I prefer and it's a bit more light bodied than I'm used to for these flavors. I really wish it was a Stout. Still very drinkable (does DuClaw make anything that's not good?). 5.8% ABV. 85/100 Very Good, 3.75/5 on Beer Advocate. I give it 7.5 or 8 out of 10 on the Z scale.
Savannah River Brewing Co.'s Beacons. A milk stout brewed with coffee, lactose, and chocolate. 6% ABV. Only 5 ratings on Beer Advocate. The coffee and chocolate are right on. I'm usually not a huge fan of milk stouts, but this one is just fine. The can art is very busy - the perspective is apparently a tiny cameraman on the beach looking up at a crab who doesn't like the light from a lighthouse in the distance (1/3rd of the way further around the can) and the font on the name was awfully ornate. (It poured more than that, I forgot and took a drink before the pic). 7 out of 10 on the Z scale.
Fuller's London Porter. Like the Coopers Brewery Best Extra Stout it had a fruit taste to me - some of the reviews mention raisin or plum like, some mention dark chocolate, and some I'm wondering if it was the same beer. Beer advocate gives it a 4.21/5 and 94/100 outstanding. 5.4% ABV. The fruit edge to the flavor didn't do it for me, but it was drinkable. A friend posted that Fuller's is known for not traveling well. 6 out of 10 on the Z scale.
