We Drink Craft Beers: An Adventure in Home Brewing

Ask us a question or recommend a beer!   Mary and Cindy.   A list of beers we've tried.   A list of breweries we've visited.   Places you should go if you like beer.   Everything you need to know about beer and then some.   

Follow us on our journey through home brewing and our "market research" as we drink and review lots and lots and lots of beers.

Expect Mary to post dazzling reviews with poorly lit cell phone pics and expect Cindy to post half-assed reviews with semi-pretty cell phone pics (or nice photos if she has the time and energy).

Brewing Company: Samuel Adams; Boston, Massachusetts Name: The VixenStyle: Chocolate Chili BockABV: 8.5%Serving type: 22oz bottlePrice: $5.99
Aroma: Smells deep, dark, roasted, chocolatey.
Appearance: Nice head, small and tan. Decent retention, barely any lacing. Head reappears when swirled with light lacing. Black color, opaque.
Taste: Smooth, velvety. Distinct chocolate taste. Good, high carbonation. Medium body, goes down easy. Hints and undertones of cinnamon and chili.
Finish: Leaves bubbles on the lips and in the throat. Mild aftertaste. I can definitely feel the alcohol after just a few sips.
Rating: 4/5
Recommended. Very interesting. Worth it for the price.
