You found the right place to compare tasting notes. You can read reviews of beers in the BA database, or you can be active in the Beer Talk forum by participating in the 'What Beer Are You Drinking Now' (WBAYDN) thread where real-time discussion can occur or you can lurk and read about the beers. Similar threads are New Beer Sunday or Weekend (discuss beers that are new to you), and special/seasonal themed styles. Welcome to the site. Explore to discover all of the other features; hang around as much as you'd like; and enjoy your time that you are able to spend here.
