Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Craft beer week has treated me well.
Founders night at Glass Nickel had:
breakfast stout
Better half
Kbs
Old curmudgeon

Then near home it an Ale Asylum event and had some triple nova which I guess they're not going to bottle this year.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

wish we had founders down here..hopefully I'll find some in FL one day

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Yes, the new batch. I enjoyed it! I've attempted aging a few beers...usually with little success as eventually my desire to drink it overcomes my patience. :) I did let one of my two bottles of last year's KBS cellar for a year and just had it recently. Maybe it's my palette, or a year wasn't enough but I didn't pick up a discernable difference.

Sat night i went to Brewology at the Buffalo Science Museum. It was pretty sweet. Alot of beers to taste and seminars on home brewing. Last night we did a side by side tasting of Southern Tiers Backburner Barleywine and their Barrel aged Backburner Barleywine. Its amazing what a few months in a bourbon barrel will do to the flavor. The carmel and vanilla made for a fantastic beer. :dr Wish they bottled it.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

On Saturday my wife and I went to Stoudts Brewery in PA for their spring Microfest. 17 breweries were there and we spent four hours sampling all the brews.

If you get a chance to attend one of these(they do three each year) it's a blast. $35 for four hours with food and a band. Also you can smoke cigars there also.

Here's a few that we've had over the last couple weeks. I've been very pleased with them all. And having the Rogue Voodoo Doughnut again last night solidified that I like it.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Had this last night. One of my friends has drank this religiously for over a decade. I'd never tried it. Yesterday was his 40th birthday, so I picked up a sixer of tall boys to give it a shot. It reminded me of my first taste of beer when I was a kid. It tasted like beer my dad used to drink, so in that respect, I kinda like it. :D

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

hey the picture matches the beer well ;)

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Every now and again i find a beer like that. Im the same way, i like it because it brings me back to that first sip again. Kind of a sentimental thing.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I had the Voodoo more recently, so I'll start with that one...When you go to drink it, you get a nice inhale of the maple aroma, which seems like it shouldn't be in a beer, but it works here. The taste on the tip of the tongue that you first get is the sweetness of the maple flavor, and it finishes with the salty bacon flavor. You get a nice smooth ale flavor from this one, as well. As it warms up, the bacon does get a bit more prevalent. The maple and bacon flavors are not overpowering (IMO), but they are noticable and present, and compliment this brew very well. We have a couple more bottles stashed away, and noth the wife and I are thankful for that. :)

It's been a bit since I had the Vertical Epic, but I do remember that I enjoyed it. I don't recall the spice being very heavy in it. It was more of an undertone that supported the beer, but didn't totally carry it. To me, it wasn't a "hot" spice, but a flavor opening one. Seemed more like cinnamon or cardimum to me. If you're looking for a beer that has a spicy kick, then I'd suggest New Belgium Cocoa Mole...that has a bit more of a kick to the spice in it, and goes well with something like burritos or tacos and such.

It was quite tasty, IMO. There was a nice coffee flavor the came through with the rich stout flavor. It was fairly thick and slightly heavy, but in a good way. You get the coffee aroma as you go in for a sip. This is one that I want to try to keep in my regular rotation. It doesn't hurt that Lift Bridge is a local brewery, either. :)

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

Thanks for the words on those beers. Sounds like they are worth trying.

The stout sounds good too. I have been loving stouts for awhile now.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

A little beer from a local brewery, 3rd Street Ale Works, in Santa Rosa CA.
Puddle Jumper
Its a pale ale and normaly I don't like them because of all the back end hops, but this one finished real clean. It had a nice hoppy flavor but didn't stick around after the finish.

Had to spray weed killer on our 2.5 acre lawn today. 4 hours of driving ~1 mph. (still have to finish up tomorrow) Did enjoy a Saison Dupont, Sixpoint Apollo, Sixpoint Resin, along with a couple of cigars :D

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?
 

I have been enjoying Six Point lately.

The Crisp, Apollo and Sweet Action are great outdoor summer beers. Also Resin...gotta love a good double IPA.
