I was surprised as we all felt (the four of us tasting) the Black Ops was overshadowed by the KBS and Arcadia Shipwreck. They were all good, but the Black Ops was definitely noticeably hotter than the others and was not as complex flavor-wise.

That said, it was still pretty darn tasty and I'm glad I have another bottle to try after it sits for a while.

Wow, sounds like a great night!

I'll add one to the mix, having this right now:

Lots of chocolate & cocoa, the coffee comes through more in the aroma & on the finish. It's like drinking a quality iced mocha, with an iced espresso shot chaser. My first in the Yeti line, it's very :dr

I love Shiner beers. I just bought the 6 pack family reunion (their 6 pack sampler).

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I like thier family reunion sampler as well. Thier anniversary beers are kinda hit and miss i like thier 100th commemorator the best.

The new house is moving right along, granite and cabinets are in, looking great.

Sometimes, you just have to "go large".......A 2010 "The Abyss" and a Padron 45th in maduro. Absolute bliss.....

Went to 3 F's today, and had Zombie Dust and a Robert the Bruce with food. They had some awesome artwork Zombie Dust hanging from the ceiling. It would make for great t-shirts.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Three Floyds has AMAZING food

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

i love me some of the duchesse. i can get it in the 22 oz bottles or the 12 ounce....

san diego has a crapload of great local breweries, from the more well known like Stone, and Karl Straus, to the smaller ones like Ballast point, and Alpine brewery, not to forget alesmith, mission,san diego brewing co, and many others. If you are in san diego, and drinking a big brother bland then you are missing out.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Couldn't agree more. Haven't been there enough times to try anything but the burger and fries, but the goat cheese and fried egg make for an amazing burger. And the fries.....the fries are possibly the best I've had w/o adding cheese or butter and garlic to them.

On a side note, I was lucky enough to be invited to the Dark Lord vertical tasting in Chicago in mid-April. Food will include tastings from Michael Sheerin of Blackbird/3f's and desert tastings(Mindy Segal of Hot Chocolate). Needless to say, I am quite excited.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I heard about that tasting. I thought about going with my friend, but we are going to DLD a week after so we passed. If I didn't get tickets to DLD, I would be at that tasting for sure!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Just enjoyed a Shiner Old Time from the Brewer's Pride Selection. I believe that is what it is called? It is a limited edition craft brew. Very good.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Not sure if I'm enjoying it though? Getting a real earthy, grassy, taste from this. Not at all what I was expecting. Gonna let the other bottle I have sit for a little while before I sample again.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I did pick that up!

Try to enjoy it with cheese or fruit and you will pick up more of a caramelized sweetness!

Anything savory or sweet seems to enhance the flavor!:2

I have a couple of bottles resting!:tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

You too huh? had 2 last night still high on the favorites list. :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

It's beer and its cold right? What more do you want?

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Coming from the "Beer Geek" himself. I'll bring some natty light for our next meet up.:rolleyes:

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

At $10 a bottle, you expect it not to suck too much!;)

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

You've changed man..............:r

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Enjoying my first KBS. I wasn't too psyched when it came out of the fridge, but as it warmed a bit the flavors came out. This stuff is really good.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

:tu That's the exact reason I laugh when I see signs "ice cold beer". I'm like the "beer" is ice cold so you cannot taste how bad it really is.

Typically I'll crack a beer, pour it and let it warm up for 20-30 minutes. Then start drinking.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I'm not that patient Bill, but most of my beers come up from my 55 degree basement and get opened right up so I typically don't drink ice cold. You're right though, I like em best on the cold side of what many would consider warm.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Also, with the Ovila, don't drink this one ice cold!

I found it is better at 50 to 60 degrees!:2

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

:r I hear you, it's not easy. 55 degrees is great though. :tu

EDIT I'm with you Darrell I like my beers around 55-60 degrees.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

yes, the Ovila did improve as it warmed. Still gonna wait a little before I uncork another one.

Did you get to try it? What did you think?

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a Flying Monkies Netherworld last night. Trying to make up my mind about this.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Yep, it was very good, very balanced. Alost like a balance between a Belgian Wit and a Strong Golden, some wheat and esters but not too much, no alcohol hotness, some hop character but minimal, slightly spicy/citrusy, very well made beer. Very full flavored, they did a great job with this one.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

so it didn't suck. ;)


glad you enjoyed it. :tu
