What : Magic Hat Seasonal - Autumn - Roxy Rolles

Background: As the leaves line the trees with colors bright, the Autumnal Amber Ramble comes into sight! Roxy Rolles pours in her wake foliage fallen and a perfect pairing of malt and hops. 5.1%

Review: This is... was my first choice for my start of the Fall Seasonal Beers. I figured you cant go wrong with magic hat, and I was right. Yeah its a little dark reddish tint to it but thankfully it doesnt have an overwhelming fruity after taste. its just right honestly this is a great dinner beer I dont remember what specifically I ate that night but it seemed right that I was drinking and eating with this combination

Bottom-Line: Great way to kick of the season, will definitely be purchasing again!

Totally lost track of the brew blog... well the writing part not the drinking part so well just do them all in one day why not...What: McSorley's Irish Black Lager by Lion Brewery, Inc. in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, United States

Background: too lazy to look it up right now

Review: The day I bought this was the same day I decided to start tackling all of the variations of Oktoberfest/harvest/pumpkin... etc beers it being the season and all. But for some reason This beer eyed me down the whole time I was making my selection. The name rings in my head as Marty McSorley that dirty hockey player from a couple years back. I had to get it plus it said black lager and I was feeling very up to any challenge so I grabbed it along with some Magic Hat Seasonal (see next post) and headed home. So in effort to get the autentic experiance I poured my first glass at room temperature and took a nice hearty swig. Preparing myself for that unmistakable coffee taste that Guinness has lead me to expect, I was surprised by its absence. Excitedly I gulped it down but decided it would taste better after being chilled in the fridge for a while. So I made some food and waited and when I pured the next one I was rewarded with my new beer of choice for St. Pattys day.

Bottom-line: Drinking Guinness may appeal to your desire to look cool and feel different for drinking it amongst friends.... but McSorleys leaves out the coffee aftertaste and makes you look even cooler for drinking it amongst friends.
