Yes, I did and I liked it very much, as I recall. We had it at the W.H.A.T. along with many others so I don't remember it as well as I could have. :r

The Nemesis is much more of what it claims to be. A "maple bourbon barrel aged wheat wine". It drinks much more like a bourbon/wine than the Bastard. A sipper and a bit rough with a slight burn yet creamy at the same time. When drinking Bastard, I think you know you are still having a beer.

The more I drink it, the more it's growing on me. :D

Sounds like the new Bells 9000 batch ale. Tasted like someone spilled beer into my port.:D

Got four bottles left of the Bastard that should get me through till the late fall.

Really?

Skywalker and I both tried to drink that last summer and the stuff was unpalatable. He accredits throwing up in my yard to that stuff. How would you describe it's flavor and texture, I'd like to compare it to my memory.

Different strokes, I suppose, and probably different coasts. In the NorthEast while there are certainly hop heads, given the long, brutal winter nights a lot of people like their beers BIG, with the hops a balancing act, not the main attraction.

This is really well balanced between the malt and the hops. Tastes almost like vermont maply syrupy to me, with hops, floral and citrus. Certainly brown sugar, although I get more of a belgian candy taste. Malty. As good as the DFH Palo Santo I had the other night? No. But good nevertheless.

As to the throwing up....he knows this **** is 10% ABV right? Not a beer to be tossing back, :r

Hey, that shouldn't suprise anyone. If Skywalker doesn't drink Sierra Nevada, his system gets all goofy. :r

I also like Brown Shugga, although to me it's a "one and done" type of beer. Not one I'm going to session.

I'm drinking a Sierra Nevada Bigfoot now, had a Sam Adams Cream Stout earlier.

Flying Dog Raging *****.

This is the beer banned in N.H. because they don't like the name, :r

Outstanding. Simply outstanding. Flying Dog is giving DFH a run for my money as my favorites brewers:banger

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Found a bomber of Southern Tier Krampus on my shelf in the garage, where I store beer in the winter. I forgot I had this, and it was mixed in with some Belgian bombers I'm aging. It's an Imperial Helles Lager. It's good - rich, tasty, and a bit of an oily texture - but "Imperial" lager is not something I guess I really understand. To me lagers are supposed to be refreshing, and this seems sort of heavy.

The neighbors downstairs moved out and abandoned a 6-pack of some Mexican beer in the fridge, so I yoinked it. Bohemía it's called. Knocking down number 4 right now; very, very good dark beer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
the CZAR!
wow- I have yet to find a beer DARKER than this *if possible*
Not necessarily a rich beer, but a mighty stout with quite an alcoholic Kick! Going down very smooth, which might not end so well on my part, But after workin a 12 day stretch from leaving my past job and getting up to par at my new place of employment, this does DAMN well to take the edge off ;)

Cheers!!!

This beer gets pretty good ratings, but I am not a fan. It tastes like grass to me. Yea I know it's the piney noble hops, but still. They might as well have just thrown grass into the boil.

Speaking of hops, I'm drinking on my Imperial IPA / American Barleywine Hybrid thing. It pretty much lies right in between both styles. Damn good though. 10.25% abv. Very happy with that recipe.

I agree. It tastes like a bad batch of home brew. :r

Autumnal Fire from Capital Brewery in WI. I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, and was pleasantly surprised. A bit sweet, but had much more complexity than I would have guessed.

Northcoast Old Stock Ale, vintage 2008.

Going to go back and grab me some more to lay down for a nap, really really good stuff.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Nice weather here and also got the grill going.

Time for a smoke and another beer.

Maybe a Racer 5 IPA.
