Piraat Belgian IPA

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Flying Fish Exit 9 "Hoppy Scarlet Ale". A really really good beer. Drinks like a high quality IPA/DIPA. If FF is available in your area, I suggest giving it a try. I was impressed.

I am in a very small town in Eastern NC and went to a dance at the Armory where the Embers played. Greta time but only had Bud Light but it was served out of a keg through a cold plate draft cooler. As long as I drank fast it was half tolerable. Now I am having bourbon with my Mag 46

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

My Belgian Stout I had in the primary fermenter for 1 year (yes I know...). Was boring after 1 month, then forgot about it, i finally kegged it and it tastes like apples and raisins and other dark fruits, a little citrus, very sublte chocolate and roast. Very interesting. Some love it, some hate it. I'm on the fence about it. Just an experiment I did a year ago. Candi sugar, Belgian Strong Ale yeast, some belgian malts.

awsmith, how was that 2010 KBS? My buddy may have some left he is trading me for homebrew, but it's been awhile since I had a bottle. Can't wait to get some fresh KBS, just got it in not too long ago.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Amsterdam (Toronto brew pub) Spring Bock. I really like this.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

That actually sounds pretty awesome. I just entered a Belgian Christmas ale in this year's NHC, am hopeful for good feedback. Basically it's what I call a "kitchen-sink" Trappist, so I'm not sure how it will fare. Like yours, some have loved it, some hated it. We'll see!

2010 Dark Lord

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

How was the 2010 Dark Lord Dave? I assume more age will greatly impove it. The 09 and 10 vintages of Dark Lord have been on the sweeter side from what people tell me.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Every year is different. The 09 was the only one that was "sweet". The 2010 is drinking good. And from what I've had I would say four year is the max you would want to keep Dark Lord.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I had 09 6 months after it's release... instantly the best beer I had ever had. I wish I would have known last year that they were selling 09's too! Didn't find out til after I went through. I would have got half and half. 2010 I had 6 months after release and was disappointed. I had one in January and it was amazing. Can't wait for 2011!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Really? None of my friends who went said anything about them selling '09s in '10. Dave, did you see this there?

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Drank an Oskar Blues Ten FIDY last night with dinner. Bought a case in December to drink over the colurse of the year. These have a maximum of probably 4-5 months on them, but damn they're killer at the moment. I'll be reserving no more patience going forward.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Sam Adams Revolutionary Rye Ale

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Yup. They asked if I wanted any. 2010 was $15 and 2009 was $20. I split them half and half. I didn't go through until 5pm too!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I think it's the can that does it Tom. It is good beer and shouldn't sit to long. It's great right out of the gate and that's when you should drink it.

Some stand outs from last night:

Victory Old Horizontal Barleywine
Bootleggers Rustic Rye IPA should have drank this one first
Coronado Idiot IPA

and a few SN Big Foots to fully close the door on the evening!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Son of a &#*%@!! :mad:

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

My sister-in-law bought me a set of the sam adams glasses that have the etched ring at the bottom and are specially shaped to minimize heat transfer from your hand and increase your ability to smell the boquet of the beer. They are actually really nice glasses and I naturally had to have a couple boston lagers in them. I don't think the etched ring did anything, but they definitely concentrated the boquet on the nose. I enjoyed drinking out of them.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Haha that's what I said. I went through around 5 or so, I think... long day of drinking... but they didn't say anything. I was getting 6 bottles (since they went from 4 to 3 per ticket) and said they didn't have any boxes left, then I saw people after me with boxes, wtf. My girlfriend carried a few in her purse and I carried a few in my pants. Dude from 3F was like "Is that a Dark Lord in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" I was like "Both" :D

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a slew of good micro brews this past week as my 21st finally hit two weeks ago. Most recently I had a Stone Imperial Russian Stout. Fantastic!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Arcadia Shipwreck Barrel Aged Porter.

This is a damned fine beer.. Inexpensive too! $5.49/12oz. is reasonable compared to some equally good beers.
This has got to be in my top three ever porters.
I'm going to buy all I can get. You'll see some at Shack!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

:r







I just had an Abita Summer Harvest (Strawberry Ale)... Great spring/summer beer (imho)

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I'm glad you enjoyed this :su

My dog loved licking up the stream of it that followed me to the sink. She's got good taste.

Brand new beer at Trader Joe's. The Mission St. Anniversary 2011...should hit shelves in the next week.

Very good Imperial Brown Ale. 8.5% alc. 2.99$ for 650 ml

I drank 2 last night and :dr

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

2010 GI Bourbon County Stout. Still too much bite, needs time to settle.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Yum. I noticed with some of the 2010 I had late last year the hotness as went away. Might have to crack one open soon.

Drinking an Ale Asylum Bedlam. Was holding on to a few to see how they age for sh!ts and giggles. It's a Belgian IPA and sweetness/fruitiness hasn't dissipated for almost a year old. I'm really digging this one!

Stone brewing is coming to Minnesota, evidently. I view this as a good thing.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Stone pulled out of WI because they just weren't selling.
