Perfect?

I visited the inlaws. I check out the fridge when I get there. Two reasons: I always forget what beer I left there and they always manage to scope out a beer for me.

Pliny the Elder-Russian River Brewery Company. This is probable one of the best made beers I have had in years. A craft beer of flavor, taste, aroma and hops. It was great all around beer.
It was crisp and smooth. Unlike 95% of beers I have had. The smell and hops were clean and memorable. The flavor made me want another and made me.......almost forget I was drinking a beer. I gave the mrs a sample who said, "this isn't my type of beer, but this is a great beer." I want to say the beer was an IPA, but I was to busy enjoying it. Now I wish I could find more.

Winter Humbug'r-MacTarnahan- "a rich holiday porter". I would probably call it a mellow porter or mild and tasty brown. It smells good and is an enjoyable beer. I don't know if it will compete with Jubelale, but I would drink it again if availabe. I almost wished I had this before the Jubelale.
