Oskar Blues Ten Fidy

Sorry, but have to review this considering it's $4.50 per can normal price point. And at that price, epic fail.

One noted roastiness. Nice mouthfeel, good taste, but, again, one note.

At that price point I can't help but compare it to the GI Nightstalker, and the Nightstalker is much, much better.

I tried some of that on Saturday night. It's a hoppy brown ale, and not to shabby.

Their Coffee Stout is Amazing and their Dry Hopped APA is also very tasty.
Oh... The Oatmeal Stout is also a must try.
They also have a damned good Imperial Stout.

If I hit Binnys next week I can see if they have any left, along with the other beer I was going to look for if you like.

I think I got enough.

Plus there a couple of spots I hit that are restocked now. :D

Try to find the GI Bourbon Coffee Stout! Even smaller production and from I heard even better!! I'll have to crack a bottle open soon.

Didn't see it last time I was there, so if it was released some time ago it might already be gone...but I will check for sure.

It looks like the Bourbon County but with a red label instead of the black one.

If you can't find any let me know I think I can find a bottle somewhere. ;)

It's not too high on my list but enjoyable nonetheless. I like the Belgian/IPA combo. Not something I would drink everyday but it's nice to have every now and again.

Drinking a Unibroue/Trader Joe's 2009 Vintage. I think this is my 3rd bottle, but I'm still not sure that I "get" this beer. It's got this raisin/plum thing going on, and also a lemon/citrus thing going on, and I'm not sure that the two types get along very well on my tongue. But I bought 6 bottles, so I hope I figure it out and enjoy at least one of them.

I just remembered I got a bottle of Trader Joe's Winter Ale. Might crack it open.

Very similar to Samuel Smith's ... meh, it's OK.

I had a bottle of the new Sam Adams Latitude 48 IPA last night. If you open this bottle thinking you're going to get something along the lines of Dogfish 60 min, Stone IPA, Racer 5, etc, etc you're going to be sorely dissapointed. This IPA is a little something different.

It's kind of a blend of the British and the American version of IPA. It's got European hops, British hops, and American hops which gives it a unique flavor among IPAs in America or really anywhere. Frankly, I think this beer could use a little more body and more malt sweetness, but overall I thought this was an enjoyable beer.

It's getting warmer and while I love Stouts, Porters, etc.

When it's 90+ degrees outside it's hard to beat a Stella in my frozen Giants cup.

Tried the Dogfish Head rasin beer which was pretty damn tasty!

Trying another Ale Asylum Bedlam which is a Trappist IPA. Enjoying this beer a lot. It's a smaller release and I think next week I might have to grab 2-3 six packs!

Was that the Raison d'Etra or did you get ahold of some Raison d'Extra? I know there's still some of the Extra floating around.

I dont like really cold beer, does this mean Im odd?

More often than not I open and pour a beer then let it set for 10-15 mins. My dad regularly says " are you going to drink that or just stare at it?"

Not odd at all, I do it with most beers out of the regular refridgerator.

SN torpedo extra IPA - not a bad IPA at all, especially for a year round release, but it ain't all that outstanding either. I'm probably moving on after this 6'er.

If beer is too cold it numbs your tastebuds, hiding all the flavor. That's why with cheap shitty beer people are like "It's so good, it just has to be ice cold." No, it's shitty, which is why it has to be ice cold.

My fridge is about 38*F. I typically pour into a glass, and sip on a beer slowly, to see how it changes from cold to cool (55*F or so). Some beers I will let warm up a little before I pour it.


I got an Avery Maharajah tonight. Good stuff.

My understanding is that the last time they made it was in 2007. Don't know if it's going to be back or not.
