cherry beech smoked beer

This a very good smoked beer. the smoke flavors are easy to spot in here. there is a smoked flavor throughout the first taste, it is not overbearing and quite enjoyable. balanced and refreshing. i personally would not change a thing.
Maibock...

This was my favorite of all the beers you sent. Using liberty hops definitely added something special to this beer. as the name on the recipe sheet states "Gold Winning Maibock" i have to agree. the best compliment i can give you is... i just brewed a 5 gallon batch this morning. thank you!
PB Oatmeal Stout..

Ah what an awesome smelling beer. i had to split this bottle with my wife who absolutely loved it! i found it to be excellent. the PB jumps out at you from the first whiff, then you get a taste and the PB shouts here i am!!. then the coffee flavors kick in and what a blend of flavors your taste buds are sent on a rocket ride to the reese's plant. the carbonation is perfect and the mouthfeel and head/lacing created with the oatmeal takes this fabulous ale to new place at the top of the PB stout beers that are out there. i think this is very comparable to belching beavers PB milk stout, yours is lacking the lacto sweetness but the body and mouthfeel is about the same. Don't change a thing.
Thanks
sfgoat for an opportunity to sample some really good beers and for the "new to me" taste of liberty hops. i gained some very useful insight that i will be using on my future brews, again thank you and i hope we can do this again sometime.
