I really like it. I get lots of vanilla, chocolate and rich espresso flavors. Good amount of oak flavors too.

It was my first beer for the night, it was excellent. I was worried the bottled version would be a step down from tap, but it was nearly as good. In a blind test I am not sure I would have known the difference.

For IPA fans the Maharaja is excellent.

Last night - Switchback on draft.
Tonight - Stone Smoked Porter. Pretty tasty. Not nearly as smoky as I was expecting.

I started the weekend Friday night by cracking open my growler of Pliny the Elder. My wife picked up some Sierra Ruthless Rye on her way home so I had one of those as well, tasted great, I like the spicy character.

On Saturday we went to Yardhouse for my birthday and I ended up drinking their Belgian sampler (don't remember what all 6 beers were, but one was Lindemans Framboise, which I hated, tastes like raspberries dropped in champagne), Grand Teton B*tch Creek, Moylan's Kilt Lifter, and Speakeasy Double Daddy. After that we were over at my in-laws' place and I shared out my first homebrew, a pale ale.

Good, but Smuttynose Barleywine is better (and of course more expensive)

Stopped at Moat Mountain in Conway NH this past weekend. Had the brown and vienna lager. Both were great beers. Wasn't expecting them to be as good as they were.

Tonight I'm drinking Sixpoint Bengali Tiger. There is something interesting in the flavor of this beer I'm really enjoying. Can't put my finger on it though.

Red Barn is very good, but I'd still take a Sofie over it. Just an amazing saison. I need to get some more. And I'm pretty sure I can get a full 4 pack of Sofie for the price of one bomber of Red Barn, so that's another plus.

Jbailey 02-29-2012 07:22 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 
The Red Barn is more dry when compared to the Sofie.

I grabbed a bottle of GI Lolita tonight. Going to grab one more on the way into work.

Haven't had Lolita yet. It sounds good that's for sure.

Nice. Didn't know they did a cherry version. Sounds tasty. I still have some regular bourbon barrel stout left.

Last years was pitched since they didn't think it turned out. I heard that year was bad for cherries since a few other breweries didn't bottle their cherry beers.

It's a small batch and could only get a 4 pack this morning. I will head back to see the manager tomorrow and see what I can get.

Sampled side by side with three pals. General agreement was that the 2009 was the favorite.

Jbailey 03-02-2012 09:30 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 
Very cool.

I will say 09 has been my favorite so far as well. It's really turning into an amazing beer right now.

ChicagoWhiteSox 03-02-2012 09:35 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 
09 has really come around.
