    It's a good start. Kudos for recording them and posting.
    I think you got the basics down; malty, hoppy, aromas, etc. I would say that beers change as they warm, and also the vessel used influences aroma, appearance and taste. Mama's out of the can is fine, but for reviewing maybe use a glass.
    It's not a race. Take time before judgment (is it THAT important? No. Really, do what you want :wink:
    Moving forward, try some beers of the same style, say, IPAs. That way you can really compare/contrast hops (and malt). Single hop series(es) are a great way to identify hops. Mikkeller has such a series...and I think a CO brewery does, but I'm foggy on that.

    The big thing is to keep "practicing", which means drinking more delicious beer!
    cheers

    The Avery Bottle can be opened without cutting the foil..

    Also, Especially with the stout i would only poured 1/4 to 1/2 in the glass. let the rest sit out for 15-20 minutes then gone back and reviewed how it changed

    i agree you've got a good start, but would suggest using proper glassware as well.

    For an all around glass, my preference is a Tulip.

    Is there a reason that you didn't pour the Mama's in a glass?

    Glassware can be found at some stores, but also places like Goodwill and ARC...for cheap!

    I would watch some of Marks reviews at www.thehopry.com Very informative and he uses a Tulip for almost every thing
