The smell and start of every taste was spot on and promising... the back was like you got some undercooked banana bread where the nuts taste like they went bad.  The first DuClaw I've had that wasn't at least solid, let alone undrinkable (84=Good 3.64/5 on Beer Advocate).The Snowed In - Cherry, Bourbon Barrel Aged Oatmeal Stout with Chocolate and (Sour) Cherries by Copper Kettle in Denver didn't make it past a third sip. The sour cherry was really strong and didn't go well for me with the barrel aging at all. (Not enough votes for a rating on Beer Advocate; 13.1% ABV).[ATTACH]146861[/ATTACH][ATTACH]146862[/ATTACH]Going for something more standard, I picked up Edmund's Oast Dunkelweizen.  It's promising up front, but a bit beery (not in a Weizen way) for the finish. So not one that will make my regular list, which makes me sad because dunkelweizens are one of my favorite styles.[ATTACH]146863[/ATTACH][ATTACH]146864[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
