These are the last survivors of sixers past, but I figure it might be fun to document my selections over the past few weeks. From left to right:



Bacardi Silver Mojito 3/5
Pretty basic, but I guess my sweet tooth has a weakness for the minty flavor. There is not much depth to it, but I don't think it could really offend anyone, either. As evidenced in the picture, my main preference is the darker varieties of adult beverages, but this a nice change to the mix.

Kräftig Lager 3/5
This is a pretty decent lager. For those not in the know, William K. Busch is trying to enter the industry and distinguish himself from the Anheiser Busch InBev brewing company. If I recall correctly, his approach is to follow Reinheitsgebot or an old-time German beer law/modern point of pride. By all means, this is a pretty nice drink and is much more desirable than Bud Light and its brethren; it provides a nice, bitter taste at the back of your tongue. However, I have still yet to find a lager that keeps me coming back for serving after serving, though. It's not very pricey, so give it a shot if you enjoy lagers.

Schlafly Coffee Stout 3.5/5
So maybe Missouri isn't as bad as advertised. Schlafly has some nice selections, including this coffee stout. There is a very strong taste of coffee in this drink, and overall I think it makes for a pretty good end-of-the-day beverage. Your mileage may vary depending on your preferences for coffee. Then again, I don't even drink the stuff yet I appreciate this stout.

Henry Weinhard's Woodland Flats Amber 2.5/5
There isn't a whole lot to describe here; this is pretty much your typical amber beverage. It's pretty cheap, but leaves something to be desired.

Boulevard Nutcracker Ale 4/5
Ooh, baby. Toffee, brown sugar, and molasses - yet not overbearingly sweet, and in fact a fair amount of bitterness. All in all, this is a somewhat stronger drink that will probably be preferred by those who enjoy porters and stouts. Obviously seasonal, but I've still seen 'em sold in recent weeks.

Left Hand Milk Stout 3.5/5
So, this is a very interesting brew in which lactose sugar has been added. This provides a very, very sweet taste; likely more than one would expect from a stout. I will definitely say that this is a well-crafted beverage, but I personally find the sweetness to be a bit interrupting to the flavor as a whole. This might be something you wish to sample in a make-your-own before you grab an entire sixer.

Baraboo Snow Drift IPA 3.5/5
I do enjoy bitter IPAs, but this is a refreshingly smooth, if still dark, take on the formula. A worthy try for all tastes, but obviously there is still going to be some bitterness to handle.

Sierra Nevada Porter 4.5/5
The labels on the six-pack and bottle aren't particularly flashy, but porter fans shouldn't write this one off as a standard brew. Very rich with a fantastic aftertaste. Perhaps a drink with a bit more bite than others, but not overbearingly so. I must warn that Sierra Nevada also makes a stout, although I didn't find that one to be nearly as great.

Founder's Breakfast Stout 5/5
Repeated from an earlier post. Chocolate, oatmeal, and coffee flavors in a superb blend.

Fuller's London Porter 5/5
Repeated from an earlier post. Chocolate, caramel, toffee, and coffee. This drink was my gateway into porters. Just buy it.

New Belgium 1554 4.5/5
A great black ale that already has the approval of multiple forumers.
