Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - What beers are you enjoying?

I'm with Pnoon I hear the Plinys are some of the best DIPA's out there. I would be interested in wondering what was asked as well.

I'm obviously interested but if you like say Dreadnaught but don't like Pliny it might save me the time and hassle in attempting to acquire Pliny and put more focus on buying another case of dreadnaught.

However If you normally don't like DIPAs.....then that would be the reason you did not enjoy Pliny.

Pliny is worth the effort to track a few bottles down.

I couldn't taste 90 minute IPA after Pliny, and the Pliny and 120 minute both held up to each other hop wise, meaning I could go back and forth and still taste each beer fine. That should give you an idea of how hoppy it is.

Hoping my folks will pick me up some Pliny for my birthday. I had some Lagunitas Imperial Stout this evening. Very nice.

Pliny is a wonderful DIPA. Slightly bitter, VERY piney, evergreen like taste. Great mouthfeel and a long finish. Surprisingly flavorful even real cold. I like to pour cold and drink slow so it warms by the end. Then repeat.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?

I picked up a bottle of Pliny a couple weeks ago. I'm an IPA addict. It lives up to the hype without question. As close to perfect as I've had. My only complain was the head retention, but that was just a single bottle, so who knows. Flavor and balance were exactly what I would want.

I need more.

Had anther bottle of Brookly's Black Chocolate Stout. It's a limited release but I could drink it everyday. Soo enjoyable.

I just picked up a bottle of Ommegang's chocolate indulgence. When I mentioned it to a pal he said he preferred the Brooklyn BCS. Have you had both of them? If so what do you think?

Good to hear. Right now I am thinking of holding onto it until I can dig up a brooklyn BCS, but that resolve will probably break down tomorrow night.

Last night shared a BORIS and a Barrel Aged BORIS with a couple of buds over smokes the regular was good but we messed up by opening the Barrel Aged first. Still an awesome experience but all are in a agreement to stick with the barrel age

Which one?

Finally finished my 080808, awful stuff (but I'm not a fan of Belgians). Love the 090909.

I have not, though I will change that this weekend. Always like a little comparison. I'll post back on that later.

Only considering the Brooklyn's, it's super drinkable for me. Stout's are currently my favorite style, but I typically find them to be too filling to be close to a session beer and still find it excellent. Brooklyn's Black Chocolate Stout, session beer? Maybe.:sh
