Schmaltz Brewing Co. Coney Island Human Blockhead

This beer has a picture of a guy pounding a nail into his face. You have to buy a beer with a label like that. Fortunately, it's also good. The notes at Total Wine and More described it as a cross between a double bock and an amber ale. I can definitely taste that and some hints of red ale. It's really good.

Schmaltz Brewing Co. Coney Island Albino Python

Coney Island Albino Python is labeled as a white lager with spices. It's like a cross between a lager and a wheat beer. It was different from pretty much anything else I've had and is definitely something I'll pick up again. The Coney Island beers are from Schmaltz Brewing Co. who also make the He'Brew beers, which are also great. These have a circus theme to them with some pretty cool labels.

Left Hand Brewing Co. Fade To Black Vol 1

Fade To Black is Left Hand's new seasonal beer. Rather than normal winter seasonals, they have decided to release a beer called Fade To Black each winter. Every year the beer will be a different style. This year's (2009-2010) is an Export Stout and is really good, so it's a bit disappointing that they won't be making it anymore.

Yuengling Bock Beer

Yuengling Bock is a limited release beer which may become a seasonal release from the sounds of it. I mostly bought it because the label has a goat drinking beer. It wasn't bad, but I'd take one of their lagers over this any day.

Great Divide Hades Ale

hades Ale is probably the first belgian style golden ale that I've been able to drink. There's something about these that I normally don't like. It wasn't quite as strong in this ale, though, and I actually enjoy it quite a bit.

New Holland Brewing Company Night Tripper

New Holland Brewing Co. is another one of my favorite breweries. The most recent beer of theirs that I've had was Night Tripper, an imperial stout released for Fat Tuesday.

Rogue Brewery John John Ale

Alright, I'm really all out of stuff to say as far as "reviewing". They all sound the same these days. Also, no one reads this. So from now on I'm mostly going to mention the beer, eventually get pictures up, and just make a quick comment at most.

Now, on to the first one where I don't really bother with an attempt at a review. John John Ale from Rogue Brewery. It's Dead Guy ale, which I really like, but aged in a whiskey cask, which I also always like. Good stuff. The label has a picture of redneck guys, probably the guys from the brewery, but it's kind of creepy. The name also makes me think of the Testament song Jun-Jun.
