Avery The Beast Grand Cru (16.8%)

Thing 1: Happy new year! This beer is dark and cloudy in color. Sweet and light in fizz, after the first few sips. Strong flavor. Yummy. What a great way to go out, 2013. Thing 2: Thick as hell. It won’t let you go. It stays beery throughout the drink experience, instead of dissipating. It just wants to hug you. Beer Advocate: 86 http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/30/15619/

STONE ARROGANT BASTARD ALE

Thing 1: Wow. That’s just bitter. Smooth going down, low bubbly. Good, clean taste. Dark amber color. Thing 2: That puts the “bit” in bitter. It’s greater than 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit. It’s off the bit charts.

KENTUCKY BOURBON BARREL ALE

Thing 2: You definitely taste the bourbon. Thing 1: I taste smokey oak. And yeah, very bourbon like. A slow sipper. Thing 2: It doesn't move like Jagger.

ROGUE HAZELNUT BROWN NECTAR

Thing 1: Coffee-like aftertaste. An odd caramel-like smell and taste. Thing 2: It wants to be malty and thick. It gets better as it gets warmer. I like it, a good go-to brown.

WEYERBACHER AQUILA

Thing 1: Smells mild. Spritzy and light. Halfway in, the aftertaste is slightly warm and sweet, overwhelmingly wheaty, musty flavor. Thing 2: It’s a very standard pine. I feel i’ve tasted it before. Smells like he-man character Moss Man.

GREEN FLASH HOP ODYSSEY SYMPOSIUM IPA

Thing 1: Tastes like a dry IPA. Not sweet. Kind of basic. Guest Thing: [blech] Sorry, I just can’t. Thing 2: Yeah, that’s a beer drinker’s beer. Guest Thing: It’s like bark. It’s a drink that’ll put hair on your chest. Thing 2: You’re probably gonna have to shave some body parts after this.

DOGFISH HEAD FESTINA PECHE

Thing 2: Wow, this is really peachy, like Mario Kart peachy. This is Princess Peach. It's not even beer.

Guest Thing: It's really mellow.

Thing 1: [blech]

Guest Thing: Really? With what you had before [Great Divide Hercules], you're gonna be like that?

Thing 1: Yeah, it tastes like vomit.

Thing 2: Never again.

WOODCHUCK HARD CIDER SUMMER

Guest Thing: Yes! This is what I could drink.

Thing 1: It's like juice.

Thing 2: You can't even taste the alcohol.

Guest Thing: I'm okay with that.

Thing 2: Yeah, everyone needs a go to.

GREAT DIVIDE HERCULES DOUBLE IPA

Thing 1: It's good, I like it. Its bitter, an acquired taste, I suppose.

Guest Thing [not a beer drinker]: It's...interesting.

Thing 2: This is as if one of those latin sodas [Milca] had been left out in the sun and left to ferment, then packaged and sold as beer.

Guest Thing: Yeah, it's what Machete would use as mouthwash.

Thing 2: Dude, it's red. I generally question the validity of red. [Milca is as red as a maraschino cherry.]

Thing 1: Um, [looks at chalice against light] it's amber!

Guest Thing: It's very gritty. Honestly, it's weird. It's gritty but smooth.

Thing 1: That's a very good observation.

Thing 2: Yes, thank you for being around to make that observation.

WEYERBACHER IMPERIAL PUMPKIN ALE

Thing #1: its like a pumpkin dessert in carbonated drink form. Spices are spot on. More pumpkin than beer though.

Thing #2: The holy grail of pumpkin ales. the way to judge a pumpkin ale is how closely it resembles a pumpkin flavor. I think this beer achieves that pretty well. #2 (take two): it was served in a glass labeled Le Freak, and it le freaked me.
