Really good! I'm trying to figure out the flavors in this ting.

I might have to grab a few more bottles of this stuff.

I hate Sierra Nevada Estate Ale. Pretty damn good, I just hate that its $10 a bottle!

Finishing up the pounder of Sam Adams Double Bock. Great beer. Had the Lagunitas Imperial Stout earlier. Might be my all time fav for Imp Stouts

Yeah, I can't see buying that when I can buy a 12 pack of Celebration for $3 more.

I'm drinking an Anchor Porter. Nice malt and coffee flavors.

Drinking a Surly Bender now. Youngs Double Chocolate Stout on deck. Stopped at the beer store on the way home and bought a 4 pack each of Founder's Breakfast Stout and North Coast's Old Rasputin.

I finally managed to find some of the much raved about Founders Breakfast Stout, and now I see why--great stuff! It was on my BBL (beer "bucket list" :tu) Really enjoyable

I'm drinking a Flying Dog Horn Dog Barleywine. This is my first ever barleywine, and I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but wow, it's lovely. I had no idea that malts could be so sweet. It's 10% abv, but it's definitely a smooth, sweet tasty beer. I got this in a Flying Dog sampler pack, but will definitely buy some on it's own.

My old standby tonight, Smuttynose Robust Porter :)

Have you tried the Gonzo Imperial Porter yet? Best of the Canis Major sampler IMO.

I have. It is a very good porter. In fact I added two to a mixed 6 pack I bought recently.

Snowing to beat the band here in Minneapolis tonight. Met a good friend of mine for a few beers at a local bar. Had a Surly Furious, Schell's Snowstorm, and a Guinness, all on tap. (Guinness is really overrated, isn't it?) Was great to be out in a lively holiday atmosphere and have a few beers. I'm home now, and since I am working from home tomorrow and can sleep in, am having a Sam Adams Cream Stout.

Hope you all are enjoying your beers tonight.

Drinking my first left hand milk stout:tu Pretty good.
Up next is my first brooklyn black chocolate stout:banger

And yes, guinness draft is overrated. The bottled extra stout isn't bad, but there are many better.

I love Guinness. Especially in Dublin.

I've only had one LH Milk Stout, but I liked it very much.

If I were in Dublin you can bet Guinness would be my stout of choice! :tu

I'd like to try it sometime without the nitro-induced head. I suspect that it masks some of the aroma. But it does give it that lovely creamy texture.

I can tell you that the Guinness in the States, both bottled and on tap, doen't hold a candle to the Guinness in Ireland, for whatever reason. But since I can't get to Ireland every week, I do what I gotta do. :D

I'm currently enjoying a Xingu Black Beer from Brazil. Never had it before. I noticed it has to be uber cold to be tasty. I had one that had only been in the fridge for a couple of hours.....yikes!

Drinking a Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter. Really a good porter. Wish we could get it here in MN. I got this one when my family went to Ohio for Thanksgiving.

:tpd: The bottle is way off... more so than tap. But neither compare to the black stuff on the island :dr

I'm drinking a Rogue Chocolate Stout. This is really a nice stout. It's definitely chocolate, but not in an obnoxious way. Everything about this beer works. If it weren't $6 per bomber I'd probably drink this pretty regularly.

Picked one of these up to try as I have suddenly found an affinity for Belgian ales. Not too bad.

No doubt. I enjoyed a quite a few Murphy's when I was there as well. Seemed to be as popular, if not more so, than Guinness with the locals.

Shiner released a seasonal Christmas brew called "Cheer."

It's pretty amazing tasting. It's a Dunkelweizen with peach, pecan, and other spices.

Boulevard Oktoberfest. Boulevard from K.C. has some kick ass beers. The single malt IPA hits the spot as well.

Past few days I've had Left Hand Milk Stout, St. Bernardus Tripel, New Belgium Abbbey, New Belgium 1554, and Founders Centennial IPA. I wasn't really a fan of the Left Hand milk stout. The Tripel was amazing.
