A friend of a friend brought some from out of town (Can't find it anywhere here).

First one was the Raison D'Etre. Complex, tart, and really held my interest. Very surprised with this one. I couldn't stop thinking about the flavors between drinks. Totally not what I was expecting. Great beer for the curious.

He sent home a 60 minute IPA with me, which will get drank tonight after work. I'm going to put it against the last Bell's Two Hearted in the fridge.

they have a good seasonal too, Dogfish Punkin Ale, very good if you can get your hands on some.

If you like the Big Eye, try the Sculpin.

Ohh I love Sculpin! I can't get it often, but once in a while it shows up. It might be the perfect single IPA ever. Just awesome stuff. I'll settle for Big Eye tonight though.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Sculpin is year round now right Peter?

Being a local brew, we have it on tap frequently.

Shiner Prickly Pear craft brew. Not bad for a fruit beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

On a whim my wife picked up a bottle of chocolate oak aged yeti from Great Divide Brewing for me. Very chocolaty! I've only had the regular Yeti, but I'm liking this one.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Southern Tier Gemini, which has come to be one of my favorites.
Label looks awfully like Felix Baumgartner - including the capsule

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Homemade half and half - harp and guinness.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout.

12oz Bottle into a pint glass

A - Coffee black with a quickly dissipating dark brown head. No lacing.

S - Coffee, sweet toasted malt. Slight vanilla. Definitely the soy sauce funk that I find in all stouts.

T - This is almost what I would consider to be a perfect Oatmeal Stout. The burnt toast bitterness is right on the front. I wish there was just a tad bit of sweetness to balance it out. Heavy on the bitter chocolate from the first taste through to the finish.

M - Medium heavy body. Nearly perfect carbonation, virtually no astringency.

O - LIke I said, this is one of my favorites. I think this is one beer that Breck absolutely nails.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Spaten Oktoberfest (x6) tonight.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Smuttynose pumpkin ale :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Yes, it was subtle, not overpowering like some. Excellent beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

It was my first black ipa. I scored two free six packs. Can't wait to enjoy another.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Darkness weekend is coming up. Looking forward to some crazy beers!

Ale Asylums new limited beer "India Brown Ale" is amazing and also Ballistic is back out!

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Just got back from NOLA, enjoyed the Lazy Magnolia lineup while I was down there. Can't say I'm a fan of the Abita lineup... not sure why they have such a stranglehold on that market.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Just finished a Shock Top End of the World Midnight Wheat. Didn't read the label all the way until after I opened it and saw that it was brewed with chili and spice. It was different, and I would have to say that I am not a fan.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Schlafly T IPA. Damn, this kicks ass! Schlafly is so underrated IMO. Getting another 6 pack after this one for sure..

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Southern Tier Mokah, pretty good. Really didn't like the Creme Brûlée, reminded me of starbucks frappucino. Mokah though the flavor seems less fake and not so sickly sweet.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Not much of a selection so picked up a 6er of SA Octoberfest

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Is that built for speed or comfort?

Had the Creme Brulee from a growler last night. Liked it alot better then the bottled version but i couldnt drink a whole lot of it. Definitly very sweet. Also had a bomber of Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye. That on the ohter hand is fantastic.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Founders Harvest and Jolly Pumpkin Bam Noire last night.

Re: What beers are you enjoying II?

Smuttynose Big Beer series Scotch Ale last night in addition to the Mokah.
