I have enjoyed your IPA previously and I have been told numerous time to try your Chocolate Stout and I definitely will someday. I never let one beer turn me off from a brewer. Even my most favorite breweries have some things that I don't like. But you are doing a great job and living the dream of owning a craft brewery. Keep up the good work and thank you again for coming by. Dan, thanks for stopping by.

Sorry you felt let down, but in all my brews, I try not to clobber the drinker over the head with spices/cocoa/yeast flavors/etc, only hint at it. So your comments are right on, its just that each of us had different goals for the bottle of beer you had before you! I want you to be able to drink two or three of my brews in a row and really enjoy each one with food or friends without thinking, geez, this is sickly sweet, or this is way too spicey. I remember I started thinking this way in the mid 90's when I overdid it with peppermint Altoids. Boy it took a long time to drink those few cases of winter homebrew! Enjoy your beer adventures. Hope you give my brews another shot! Dan Hi, Mike,

It is just something that doesn't work for me on a whole. After a continuous string of let downs, including my own homebrews, I'm pretty much done with the style. But, I'll probably keep trying to find one i like... I just can’t seem to get behind spiced beers, they are either to much or not enough to meet the concept.
