While checking thefullpint.com’s MySpace page one day, I bumped into Legend Brewery, who also has a MySpace page. After having a nice chat, Legend decided to send me a few of their flagship beers for review. What a great world I live in. And for all the MySpace haters out there, see, it isn’t all bad.

The time has finally come. Maui Brewing’s canned goodness has finally arrived in Southern California. While Maui has won medals over the past few years for their Coconut Porter, for most people, it has only been a legend, and not a reality. TheFullPint.com was lucky enough to try it at Stone 11th Anniversary last September, and decided hands down, it was an awesome brew. To my suprise, shortly after posting news it was headed for SoCal, that it was sitting in a four pack at Bevmo Pasadena.

Maui Brewing CoCoNut PorTeR 5.7% abv poured into a Stone Imperial Russian Stout glass.

Possibly one of the best breweries in the world have a wonderful flagship line up of big, yet balanced brews released all year around. A few times a year, Alesmith releases wonders like Yulesmith, Decadence, and some brewery exclusive Barrel Aged beers.

Although they are hard to find outside of California, I have been seeing a larger presense of Alesmith’s champagne bottles of primo ale more and more. In 2007, Alesmith celebrated their anniversary with Alesmith Decadence 2007 Imperial Porter. While you may be scratching your head as to why a brew celebrating 2007 has just been released and reviewed, it is because they brew it in 2007, and let it age to drinkable perfection before offering it. It was worth the wait.

This is from a local brew-pub in Dallas called Humperdinks. They have won some GABF awards in the past for their Porter and the Large Brewpub of the year so they are legit.
Humperdink’s Total Disorder Porter on draft.
Aroma: Smell the black patent and caramel malts. Light hops that complement the brew well.
