Dylan Reviews Beer

Blaecorn Unidragon by Clown Shoes Ipswich, MARussian Imperial Stout
12.5% ABV
Looking for a great beer to bring to a party? Well look no further than Blaecorn Unidragon from Clown Shoes. With a very interesting name (a combination of Black Unicorn and Soul Dragon) and label, this beer is sure to impress anyone who hasn't heard of it. The other reason it's a great beer for a party is that it's a massive russian imperial stout, coming in at a whopping 12.5% ABV, and comes exclusively in 22oz bottles. The taste is nothing to shake a stick at either, extremely roasty and boozey, it almost tastes like a cappuccino with a shot of bourbon in it  This beer was made for sharing with friends. Note: If you enjoy this brew, check out it's "big brother" Porcine Unidragon, Clown Shoes uses the same recipe as Blaecorn, but the smoke the malt with beechwood and age the final beer in bourbon barrels.

Tank 7 by Boulevard Brewing CompanyKansas City, MO
Farmhouse Ale8.0% ABV38 IBU
Another one of the Boulevard Smokestack Series, Tank 7 is a wonderful representation of a farmhouse ale or saison. The beer is very refreshing, and pairs well with cheeses, Boulevard suggests taleggio. Pouring straw colored, with a fluffy white head, the aroma of the beer is very prominently grapefruit with some subtle pepper overtones. The taste follows the nose with a grapefruit and citrus flavor coming from the amarillo hops. The dry finish leaves your palate clean. If you have never tried a saison or farmhouse ale, before, I would definitely recommend you give this one a shot.

UFO White by Harpoon BreweryBoston, MA and Windsor, VT American White Ale
4.8% ABV11 IBU
Harpoon is the Spec's craft brewery of the month for the month of August, and with this lingering hot weather, nothing will satisfy better than a refreshing American white ale. This wheat beer uses a coriander and orange to create an extremely quenching brew, top it off with an orange slice, and this becomes a beer that everyone can appreciate on a scorching Texas day. With these six packs (and all of the other Harpoon six packs) at a special sale price this month only at Spec's, pick one up and give it a shot. Even the most inexperienced craft beer drinker can appreciate the light body, and refreshing taste of this great beer.
