Green Flash Imperial IPA
Green Flash Brewing Company, located in San Diego County, California, hopes that their Imperial IPA is a worthy challenger to Russian River’s Pliny the Elder.
Detroit Brewing Company Sanders Chocolate Stout
Sanders Chocolate Stout delivers on to its cocoa-y promise. The taste is a very chalky, perhaps too much so, and that powdery residue lingers on your tongue after a not-too-creamy, not-too-sweet, limited tide of flavor.
