Beach City Brewery Reviews

DedicatedToFun	3.4 Beach City Sweet Crude Stout Bottle, black pour, tan head, nose and taste are chocolate and coffee, sweet stuff Friday, July 3, 2015
Mrnoluv	4.3 Beach City Ruski Noir Coca smell, brown head, very dark color, but man this is one of the smoothest 11% ABV beers out there. Be careful, it is so smooth very little burn you can really go thru this one easy. This is the closet you can get to a milk stout with out it being one. So milky, so smooth, sweet on the swallow, bitter chocolate taste after the swallow. I love this beer. Saturday, May 16, 2015
Lubiere	3.3 Beach City Elegant Monk A hazed golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with loads of fruity esters, light solvent notes, light grapeskins, nice if a bit cloying.

BlackHaddock	2.9 Beach City Rye't IPA Large sample in Schooner, Sunset Beach about 10 miles from the brewery on 15th July 2014. Labelled as a black IPA by the bar, they were telling the truth, this is a very dark brew, the head a tanned blanket of foam. The nose and taste were malty and sweet, with a liquorice undertone. Strange overall taste and feel to the beer, could not quite put my finger on it but, I did not buy a pint preferring the Firestone Wookey Jack sample I was given to compare. Wednesday, August 20, 2014
