Yardhouse craft beer pub chain, 113 Beers on Tap.

So, right away, I'm seeing Chocolate Stout or Framboise with Ice Cream... yup, were almost there, end must be near: 12/21/2012, the end.  

First, I'm going with the Lost Coast Tangrine to start, listed under a Lambic style.  Here goes somthin...   no aroma, nice gold color, orange flavor, mildly sweet, but not much different than Bud's Shock Top... maybe less Tangish(TM). Good for dessert, but could use a tweek for interest.  

Next up, Magic Hat, Circus Boy (Wheat)...  kind of bland, no head or aroma.  Kinda P.O.'d.  Maybe its the end of a keg...  tastes like Meh Meh "Milla Time".. 

Next.
Monk in the Trunk, very nice.  Meets all needs, and kicked that raw, red onion down the stairs.  Best beer so far.

Next, a Yardhouse special combo mixture of Youngberry Framboise and Young's Chocolate Stout, which was dessert with an approx ABV of we're getting bombed now. 

Next: Dogfish Head's Belgian Style Raison D'Etre, an 8% ABV monster that can barely contain the heat under its lingering, "mohogany" creamy, caramel refrain.  I'd say there's berries up in there too.  I like it, but I need to see an inch of head on it to go from hell meh to hell yeah! 

Breckenridge Vanella Porter:  nice head, dark color, odorless, sweet and an almost medicinal vanella quality, slightly burned like the inside of a bourbon barrel.  Not too meh, even if its hard to screw up vanella.  grows on you, but not enough for another. 

Victory Brewing's Golden Monkey Belgian style spiced & strong at 9.5% ABV.  nice head, and color, but basically hot creamed corn on tap... leaves me thinking:  "This is not my beautiful house."


I'm thinking the taps/lines or inventory controls may be a bit hinky here.
