Odds and Ends

Our Deus bottles have been reserved for next Friday, which gives us a deadline for tying up loose ends and finishing the rest of our beers! Since Bukowski's recently decided to stop ordering the Sri Lankan Lion Stout on our list, they offered the Finch's Secret Stache bottle special as a replacement.

Beer: Finch's Secret Stache Stout
ABV: 5.30%
Home: Chicago, Illinois, USA

I was taken aback by this delicious stout, which has an immediately recognizable vanilla bean flavor mixed with chocolate and roasted coffee. It pours a deep brown with a tan head that gives off a mouth-watering aroma. This is a hearty, full-bodied stout that I'd order again in a heartbeat. It's the first beer I've had in this challenge from Chicago - we need to try more!

Beer: Harpoon UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen
ABV: 4.80%
Home: Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Slogan: "Love beer. Love life."

Here's an old friend that I've been saving to follow up a strong beer when I needed it, but I might as well drink it now! This UFO (Un-Filtered Offering) pours a hazy, light rose color with a raspberry aroma that hits you in the face as soon as you pick it up. Tart raspberry flavor with a little bit of sweetness, but not too much. A lighter-bodied version of the Lindeman's Framboise. Tasty and super girly!
