Here are a few thoughts on some beers I had over the past few weeks: Lost Abbey's Inferno is amazing and worth a separate post... I was impressed with Kona Brewing's Fire Rock Pale Ale. It had much more flavor than I would have guessed coming from Hawaii. Note to self, trust taste buds not bogus assumptions... My second attempt at Port's Shark Attack Double Red Ale was as underwhelming as the first. I like the regular Sharkbite but am not thrilled with the double version. In my opinion, it's too heavy, has too much alcohol presence and too little carbonation... Lost Abbey's Judgment Day is serious. I shared a bottle after tasting several other beers and what a way to end the night. It is a flavor explosion with pronounced raisins. It's a sipping beer that demands attention. I would like to try this by itself (not after tasting four other beer styles) and savor it over a few hours. I have two in my "beer" closet as part of my second Patron Saint subscription.
