http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MSG2zXakRD...0/blackops.jpg I love massive Stouts, but if you had this, judging by your comments, I would think you would think differently. If I recall it was a fairly thick beer with significant bourbon flavor. It is 11.6% abv. I'm aging the other bottles I have. |

But as for beers, I know this will probably be blasphemy, but I have been actually enjoying: 21st Amendment Brew Free or Die IPA in a .....GASP... CAN. Its no DFH 90min. or Green Flash WCIPA but still, 9.00 bucks for a 6'er, damn fine sessionable IPA IMO and if you haven't tried it and dig moderate strength hopiness (7.0 %abv) then its def. worth a go. Its amazing opening a can of beer and no matter how many times I open on (5 thus far) I can't ever get over the fact that it doesn't smell like Coors or Miller Lite. |

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
Just got back from the Minneapolis Town Hall, a great brew pub here in Minneapolis. It's March 31st, and it was warm enough to sit on the patio! 75 degreres!
Had a Masala Mama IPA, an H20 Oatmeal Stout, and a Pot of Gold Potato Stout. All 3 were great, and I love a nice oatmeal stout, but you just gotta love the Masala Mama. :tu |

Trying a Rogue Juniper Pale Ale. Not bad at all, it's right between a bitter Pale Ale and one one with citrus.

I had to look into the Palo Santo Marron. This sounds like a very interesting beer and might have to find it.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
Deschutes beers arrived in MN this week. I'm drinking a Mirror ond pale ale now. Very malty for a pale ale. I'd be curious to know what kind of malts they use.

A bigger beer than the KBS. More bourbon, more dark fruit, more coffee, more malt, more alcohol, more everything. When I poured this, it was like pouring motor oil. Black as night, and thick. Very little head, probably because of the high ABV. Having said that, I'll say this again: "Goddamn! That's a pretty ****ing good milkshake. Is it worth 5 dollars? I don't know, but it's pretty ****ing good!":banger Because it's bigger and more intense I think it's going to age better than the KBS. Not to say the KBS won't age well, even after reading that one thread I still think KBS will improve with time. Which is better? I don't know. I didn't dare do a side by side comparison, I have no desire to pass out on the floor, :r In the end they are very similar beers. The KBS is not as big, a little sweeter, and has a certain something that the GI does not. The GI is more intense, has more bourbon, more wood, etc. and will cellar better I think, and it's slightly more accessible. The prices are similar, with the GI being slightly, and I mean slightly cheaper. A couple of dollars per 4 pack cheaper at this level is not going to make a decision for me one way or the other. Both outstanding, and I'm glad I have them both. |
Re: What beers are you enjoying?
Thanks for the review on the GI Vic. I will have to keep my eyes open on the next trip to the store and maybe do comparison with a friend on GI/KBS.
Just glad you were able to stay off the floor. :tu |
Re: What beers are you enjoying?
I had a Surly Coffee Bender earlier, and honestly didn't care much for it. Now I'm drinking a Deschutes Black Butte porter and loving it.
