My favorite Barleywine so far.It is hoppy but not over hoppy like Bigfoot and every sip makes me smile. Oh and i should mention this bottle is from last year and has only gotten better with age

Green Flash Hop Head Red Ale.

I've never had it before.
Not overly bitter.
Tastes like it has a ton of late additions and is moderately dry hopped.
Great hop balance, The Red underneath still comes through nicely.

Went to downtown Buffalo to Pearl Street Brewery and had their Powder Keg Winterfest Ale, Street Brawler oatmeal stout, and Sabres Edge Double IPA. All Fantastic

Drank the bottle of Southern Tier Choklat with a friend tonight. It was good, but I don't think I would get it again. Very good dark chocolate flavors, but it was one dimensional.

I have been on a freakin' mad hunt trying to get this beer. Turns out my area has had problems getting it for some reason? Hopefully the next week or two one of my stores gets it in.

So far today...

Green Flash West Coast IPA (from a growler)
Founders Centennial IPA

Of the two, I like GFWC IPA much better. The Founders has a bit of a sourness to it that I'm not liking too much.

I saw the reviews but curious to see if anyone here tried it. At $22.99 here I was looking for some more info before dropping the coin on a bottle.

I've got a Schlafly coffee stout for later tonight.

G.I. 312 with a Patel Bros. right now; both are examples of wishing I was drinking and smoking better tonight. But their not bad, just wish the 312 were a 3Floyds Gumballhead and the Patel Bros. were a RP Winter 2009. Good thing the both only cost me about three single and a quarter.

You can never go wrong with a 3 Floyds Brew, I hear a lot of people are drinking Gumballhead, I've yet to drink it but I love me some Dreadnaught and Robert the Bruce.

Not the best. To me, it tasted like cold Folgers coffee. Thin bodied as well. Maybe I expected too much.

I really like Matilda. I prefer this beer on tap, and I love that peach flavor I get from this beer. Bottles aren't as good.

What he said, never had a bad one from them.

Had the Dogfishhead My Antonia last night, Imperial Pilsner. Quite tasty actually ... it was gone far too soon. I'm going to have to pick up some more today.

A place in over in Hudson had some when I picked up a bottle of B!tches Brew, but I hesitated at the price and passed it up. I'm understanding now that it's worth it. Still haven't cracked our B Brew yet, though.
