Why do I do this every year? I remember I don't enjoy it. The data indicates that I don't enjoy it. Yet here we are. This beer is a metaphor for online dating.

The habanero gives it something altogether unexpected. Sweet on the frontend, but spicy on the backend.

Chocolate milkshake

Marshmallows and maple.

Initially concerned that the Candy Cane flavoring would be a gimmick, and have an overwhelming amount of artificial flavoring. However, they seemed to have been able to achieve a subtle hint of peppermint but remain predominately a traditional milk stout.

It has been far too long since I've had a beer this good.

Oh Gawd, how long has this bottle been in the Odin fridge? I can't tell if it is suppose taste like this...

Far too hoppy for an American pale ale.

Chemistry defying ability to generate head from small pours.

Sweet stout which leads with a note of chocolate, but mellows towards the tail end with a more traditional stout flavor.

Good label art.

Actually pretty good, and I usually dislike barley wines.

Average.

Banana.

The bartender claimed adding a slice of lime is called “Northwest Vacation.” I have now learned that I much prefer Rainier directly from a can, rather than on draft.

I was too lazy to go where they had beer I really wanted...

Hoppy and woody are not compatible flavors.

This proves once again that the canned version of this beer is far better than the nitro.

I think I just hate everything again.

Not every imperial stout is a good imperial stout.

Bad Santa? More like bad beer. Ho ho horrible!

Far too hoppy for a winter ale. I expected a dark porter and received an IPA.

It does not taste like what I have come to expect from a Guinness.

Chocolate and cola flavors. Good carbonation.

Hops without beating over the head with hoppy bitterness.

How do you screw up a pumpkin ale?!?!!

The goblet was definitely the wrong style of glass to enjoy this beer. I need to try it again with a pub glass. Also one should try to avoid pouring this from a bottle and find it on nitro draft at your local drinking establishment.

It was free, so it had that going for it.

The lack of any carbonation prevented any sort of head. Aside from that it was a sweat stout with a strong chocolate flavor.

Disappointing if you're a barrel aged stout devotee.

Truly awful.

Much better on draft than in a bottle.

Too spicy.

Do not smell this beer.

Could not finish.

It was free, therefore I drank it.

Not what I was expecting...

CentruryLink definitely needs to offer a better selection at Sounder games. We're clearly a higher order sports fan, and deserve a quality beer selection.

I knew it was bad, but it was the only thing available.

Possibly the most disappointing entry that I have had to make. A stout that lacked any pleasurable characteristics.

It was the lesser of multiple evils.

The only stout in the entire stadium...
