    Name – St. Bernardus Prior 8
    Country – Belgium
    Type – Dubbel

    Appearance – Poured a deep red almost brown color with a slightly tan, bubbly head.

    Smell – Sweet smells of grapes and raisins and slight smell of alcohol that burns the nostrils a bit.

    Taste – Pretty on with what you get from the smell.  Sweet malts and the taste of the raisins and grapes.  Slight alcohol burn at the end.

    I found this one to be a lot like the Pater 6 that I previously review but with a slightly more alcohol taste to it.  Still not bad.

    Overall Grade – B

    Captain Sig’s Deadliest/Northwestern Ale

    Name – Captain Sig’s Deadliest/Northwestern Ale
    Country – United States
    Type – American Red Ale

    Appearance – Pours a brilliant ruby red color with nice sized slightly tan head.  The lacing left on the glass was amazing.

    Smell – Big citrusy hop smell with some caramel malt backing to it.

    Taste – Nice earthy hop taste up front with a caramel like malt taste in there.  Finishes with a great citrus hop taste.

    I wrote an entry awhile back when this brew was first announced but never thought I would get my hands on it.  I guess Rogue started a wider distribution of it and also went and renamed it.  Originally called Deadliest Ale it has changed to Northwestern Ale.  I like the Deadliest Ale name more but the beer was still extremely good.  Overall it is a great beer.  Also an awesome bottle for any collectors out there.

    Overall Grade – A
