Magic Hat Heart Of Darkness
Stout - 5.7% ABV Pete This is an impressive stout. Obvious coffee flavor, with a nice creaminess and hints of chocolate. I could drink this one all day. Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Magic Hat Hi #9
IPA - 5.9% ABV Pete Smells and tastes like the original going down, pretty fruity, but not overwhelming. Then you get some hops in the finish that stay with you after you put it down. Great beer. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Howl
Lager - 4.6% ABV Pete This is another typical Magic Hat brew. The "black lager" name (and taste) make it slightly different from other beers of its type, which makes it better than your average beer, and in this case, the label makes you want to buy it. Rating: 5 Shyoh's |

Magic Hat Laughing Stock
Imperial IPA - 8.9% ABV Pete A little noticeable bitterness in this IPA, but it really does have a ton of flavor to balance it out. Citrusy mostly but also some piney notes to round it out. Really good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Low Key
IPA - 4.5% ABV Pete This is definitely low key. Not enough flavor, not enough hops, not enough bitterness. I understand the desire to have a session beer, so I'll give that part a pass, but don't skimp on flavor. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Lucky Kat
IPA - 5.8% ABV Pete This is a pretty generic IPA that isn't all that strong. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Pistil
Pale Ale - 4.5% ABV Pete This beer doesn't really have a category. It tastes floral, kind of like an IPA, but it isn't that strong or bitter. It's worth trying. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Single Chair
Light Lager - 5% ABV Pete This is not what I wanted from a craft brewery. As far as super pale lagers go, this is fine, but if I'm going to get something like this, I'm going to pay a lot less and get something similarly tasteless. Ratings: Pete - 2 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Snow Roller
Brown Ale - 6.2% ABV Pete This is a lot like Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale. It is hoppy, but still has the sweetness of the brown ale. I prefer the Dogfish version, but this one is still pretty damn good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Stealin' Time
Wheat Beer - 5.5% ABV Pete This is a pretty solid summer beer. No complaints, decent amount of flavor, best enjoyed very cold. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Switchel
Table Beer - 3.8% ABV Pete Ginger dominates the flavor of this one, but isn't overwhelming, as ginger can be. Just a refreshing beer that would be great to have outside. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Taken For Granite
IPA - 6.4% ABV Pete This is the opposite of what you normally get with an IPA. It tastes and smells hoppy going down, then finishes bright and citrusy, almost fruity. Not what I expected, and quite delicious. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Ticket To Rye IPA
Rye IPA - 7.1% ABV Pete This is not the best beer you'll ever have. It tastes a little off, but at least it's strong, so it'll get you where you need to be. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Vamplifier
Red Ale - 5.2% ABV Pete This smells nice and malty. When drinking, you start to get the malt flavor, then get overwhelmed by hops. It is not the best combo. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Vinyl
Amber Lager - 5.1% ABV Pete This is easily the worst Magic Hat beer I've ever had, because this is the first one I haven't loved. It tastes just OK, but I can't stand the smell. Only worth buying if it is part of one of their variety packs. Rating: 3 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Winter Mingle
Stout - 5.8% ABV Pete This is a solid stout. It has a good amount of vanilla flavor, isn't too heavy, and doesn't taste too strong. Pretty nice soothing winter beverage. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Wooly
Extra Special Bitter - 4.5% ABV Pete There is nothing wrong with this one, but it doesn't have enough flavor or alcohol to keep me coming back. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Magic Hat Zirkus Boy
Hefeweizen - 4.5% ABV Pete Really crisp beer that has a little yeasty pop almost like a saison. Wasn't expecting that, and I really enjoyed it. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
