Ahhhh ... Sample Night at home!

[PetenNewburg]

   This week my roommate and I sampled a Samuel Smith Gift Pack, my first bottle of Elderberry Mead and the last few bottles of MrBeer WITty Monk Modified.  Samples tried in order of color & gravity.  I am not a professional beer taster so my descriptions may lack formal terminology. 

Samuel Smith:  India Ale.  Very smooth, delicious light hop flavor.  This is a VERY good India Ale in the traditional English manner.
Samuel Smith:  Nut Brown Ale.  This will never be confused with New Castle Brown Ale.  Full of caramel flavor yet extremely smooth, not overly sweet.
Samuel Smith:  Oatmeal Stout.  Nice full body but not overbearing.  Great malt / hop balance.  Creamy smooth, obviously has Lactose added, but just enough to smooth the pallet from the early chocolate tones.  Great Beer!

  The Samuel Smith beers were all very good.  I would highly recommend sampling!

Ambrosia Farms Elderberry Mead Kit:  Wow.  Good fruit flavor with honey undertones.  Strength of a barleywine yet much smoother.  I will get more of these kits until I figure out how to make my own.
Modified MrBeer WITty Monk Beer Kit.  Aged, tasting after one month bottled. See original Post!
