Ok so Efes appears to be the Budweiser of Turkey. The regular is nothing special, tried their dark and it pairs well for dinner. They have however hit on a wonderful desert beer in their Dark Brown. My wife described it as tasting like the coffee aisle smells. It's pretty well on the noggin. They've got a really decent brew although it's only good for a glass or two. If I find it in the states I'll be drinking it again.

Went to Lady Face Ale House in Agoura Hills the other day, aside from having Russian river Pliny & Blind pig on tap, they make a chocolate/coffee porter that was awesome

PICTURE CITY PORTER - ABV 7.0%
Our robust coffee-infused dark ale with a nitrogen push. A multi-layered ale with generous amounts of chocolate malt and big coffee flavors that are well balanced with a noticeable hop character. Deep, dark brown in color with mahogany edges. The soft and creamy texture make this ale dangerously smooth. Not many folks know that our city, Agoura Hills, was once known as Picture City because of all the movies shot in the area. ( Silver Medal - 2011 L.A. International Beer Competition.)

Working my way through the Sam Adams fall mixer. So far I'm big on their hazelnut brown but the oktoberfest and the pumpkin ale weren't special.

I'm certainly hoping so! Their distribution has been nil lately and aside from Class V being one of my favorite stouts their Pumpkin Ale is one of the best!

It's a sour, which explains the high price. I had it on tap yesterday at Eureka Burger, and it is fairly mild for a sour, but a nice introduction if you haven't tried that style. I also had Stone's Enjoy By 9/21, and I agree with Beerman on that. I tried it, now I can move on to other beers that represent the style much better.

I've tried this. Very sour, light, & slightly smoky. I don't think I'll be having another try at it.

I've tried this porter. It's one of my favorites. At times, it's almost creamy and viscous. Others it's very light and almost watery. I don't know why. I've had the barleywine which I really liked. I've tried the Firestone Oaktoberfest. It's really good. Though, I don't particularly like citrus/lemony flavors in my beer. I will let this one slide.

I had a bottle of Epic Brewing Fermentation without Representation last night. It's an imperial pumpkin porter. Quite good. Doesn't rely on the spices which I think is what most pumpkin beers tend to do. Instead the vegetable pumpkin qualities cut what would be an overly marshmallow-y malty sweetness. Pretty nicely balanced. If you find it on the shelf, give it a whirl.
 
Sam Adams Fat Jack. One of the maltier and better pumpkin beers I've had. Reviews on this have been mixed but this is a nice surprise!
 
Avery Mephistopheles Stout. 16.4% ABV and I'm tasting each percent. Somewhere underneath the alcohol vapors are some nice roasty malts.
