Bison Brewing Chocolate Stout

I started out with the Chocolate Stout, and it had a fairly weak smell to me. I smelled a bit of chocolate, but nothing that punched me in the face. It’s got a nice balance of chocolate, stout, and general beer flavor, but it just wasn’t quite punchy enough to remember.

Bison Brewing IPA

Now, granted that I’m not a huge IPA fan, Bison’s India Pale Ale was not so bad. It had a nice light color, it was clear, and the aroma was wholesome, organic, and grassy.

The taste was light, a nice hop flavor that wasn’t overbearing like normal IPAs. The aftertaste was a bit rough for me, though, a bit too lingering.

Barley wine

I didn’t like this, but that’s probably just my tastes. I don’t think I care too much for barley wine in general. So I guess I have no business talking about a barley wine.
