Widmer W'10 Pitch Black IPA

Interesting.

But I'm not really I see (taste) the IPA here. I can certainly taste the malt and barley, and I think it's delicious - I just don't really taste any hops, the trademark IPA taste.

Whatever. It's good!

Bridgeport Highland Ambush

I was surprised by how much I like this beer. Most of the other beers aged in wooden barrels are a bit on the heavy side. Not Highland Ambush. It has a wonderfully smooth, malty-bourbony taste that rolls off your tongue. There's almost no lasting bourbony sting that's so common with similar beers.

ABV: 6.8%

A delicious red ale from one of Portland's favorite breweries. If you like red ale, you'll love this.
