Had a Breckenridge Vanilla Porter last night.
http://thisbeautifulmoment.files.wor...lla-porter.jpg
Didn't know what to expect, but it was really very good. The vanilla was not as subtle as I was led to believe, but it was awesome. Went really well with a cigar (an LFD that also was very good). The vanilla reminded me of Zaya Rum, which I poured a finger of afterward to make sure I wasn't imagining things. I wasn't. ;)

Also had a couple of different pumpkin beers over the weekend. My favorite (by far) was Weyerbacher Imperial Pumkin Ale.

Much better than either Saranac or Smutteynose's offering. I wasn't too impressed with DFHs offering last year, but I understand they tweek the recipe every year. Maybe I'll try it again.

Odd. Almost like a Belgian IPA, and I think the tea leaves may have given it a bit too much astringency without adding much flavor/aroma. Hops came through pretty well. Lots of sediment, like lemonade with a lot of pulp.

That reminds me of another 'white whale' of mine, the Still Nacht Reserve, never had it or even seen it. I'm sure that '03 was excellent though. :tu

I drank it warm, after all it is a Stout :) I talked to Albert and he told me to put the other bottle back for a while and try it later.

The best beer I have ever had is Abyss, from Deschutes Brewery. I still have 4 of these from 2009 in my wine fridge stored at 65F.
I love craft beer, mostly stouts, porters, and dark ales. Some IPA's are also good.
Hop Noir is the best IPA that I have ever had.
On a recent trip to Russia I drank a dark Russian Ale, I can't remember the name but it but it was outstanding.
Guinness, Left Hand Milk Stout, New Castle, Sam Smith Nut Brown Ale, Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout, and Young's Double Choc. Stout are all beers that are readily available that I keep stocked in my fridge.

Yeah the Pumking is good stuff and it doesnt hurt i live about an hour away from the brewery.(and a good freind lives next to one of the brewers :tu) As for Brooklyns oktoberfest , its a pretty good oktoberfest beer. Nothing mind blowing but a good all around representation of the style. :2

How's this year's Pumking compare with last year's? I've got 3 bottles already because it sells out so damn fast, but I refuse to drink it before October. Kinda like buying a Christmas tree in September, just doesn't feel right. I liked the '09 better than the '10.

Im normally the same way. it drives me nuts that seasonals seem to come out earlier and earlier so i try to hold off but the beers were a house warming gift. The gifter insisted we sit and drink and who am i to refuse drinking free beer. I thought the Pumking was very good. Had a very pleasant creamy/ gramcracker spice taste without being to in your face. I remember it being a little more heavy on the spice last year but i might be wrong. Ive had a lot of beer since then lol

I usually drink dark beer, but yesterday I had a Shiner Hefe out of the Shiner Family Reunion 6 pack. I have had a few Hefe's that I didn't care for but this one was light, crisp, and refreshing on a hot day.
