Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I agree. Pumking is best shared with someone else. Although I did drink an entire bottle one night last year while watching a world series game.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Goose Island Invasion was pretty damned good.
I had pints of:
Sofie
Matilda
Old Raspy
IPA
Pepe Nero
Bourbon County Coffee (only a 5oz.'er)
Bourbon County Vanilla

This morning is rather slow going.
I vaguely remember a large bar bill. :/

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Do you remember how the Bourbon County Vanilla was?
I cant wait to "try" to get my hands on that one!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

The Vanilla was AWESOME.
For being rather fresh (As I imagine it is), it tasted really good.
To me, the Vanilla was right at the edge of being too pronounced though.
As I was drinking it I found myself thinking that it was too much, then it wasn't, then it was.....
Maybe age would do it some good?

I wasn't at all impressed by the Pepe Nero.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a bottle of Dogfish Head Pangaea while I cooked some pork on the weber.

Got a bottle of GI Night Stalker cooling down now. :tu

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Wild. A Belgian-style IPA. Not too far from a DIPA, but a little more attenuated than a normal DIPA. Pretty good, especially for $4.49 per bomber.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Matilda on tap in proper fancy boy glass...moving onto Cheeky Monk's anniversary party in an hour, Belgian madness will ensue.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Last snifter of GI Night Stalker. Very tasty!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Bear Republic Racer 5 - probably a run of the mill IPA to you West Coast folk, but back East, this is an outstanding IPA for sure.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

At a rockin' Falling Rock last night...Cantillon Gueuze, O'Dells brett ale, Russian River Sanctification and Double Bastard from 06 (or 07...things got fuzzy).

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

New Belgium Hoptober

Been drinking the SN Tumbler the past couple nights . Pretty good stuff . It's an Autumn Brown Ale according to the label and not very Hoppie either .

Surprisingly light.

Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout. Gifted to my wife and I by Ashtonlady. WOW!!! GOOD stuff!!! Even before you taste the beer, you get a nice inhale of the creme Brulee flavor.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

We did "Octoberfest" tonight here. Brats, onions & sauerkraut, boiled red potatos, cole slaw, pickles, and chunky applesauce. Served with Paulaner Octoberfest and a Schneider Aventinus Weizenbock. Yum! :chr

Homebrew Double IPA

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I really like that stuff, its not something I'd drink everyday but a nice treat.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Went fishing on the Mississippi River today for smallmouth bass. Caught about 15 fish, had a great time. Saw a bald eagle dive into the water and grab a fish. So neat. Came home thirsty. Had a Tallgrass Oasis, and now drinking a New Belgium Hoptober. Terrific day.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Today was bottling (and tasting) day for my Russian Imperial Stout that was targeted at a KBS clone.
I may be off a little, but time will tell.
I had a taster of it and a few Schlafly Saisons.
The RIS tasted ALOT like a very green un-carbonated Goose Island Bourbon County Coffee Stout. It should be a REALLY nice beer in a few months.
The Saison was solid. I like the Schlafly rendition. very solid.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Bluegrass Brewing Company Bourbon Barrel Stout. Mmmm.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Just knocked over a Delirium Nocturnum....MEH.. Typical Belgian IMO. The only thing interesting about it was the bottle....the stupid PITA foil around the top. Never will I buy another. If belgian beer is what I seek Rochefort is my answer.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

You mean like this?

Yesterday's cup of relaxation. :al

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Yep Rochefort 10 & St Bernardus Abt 12 are the two best Belgian Beers!

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

That Rochefort picture has me licking me lips....posted this in the wrong thread earlier...

highlights from beer fest, what I can remember:

Shorts Key Lime Pie
Firestone Walker Parabola
Bruery Oude Tart and Black Tuesday
Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout
Goose Island Bourbon County
Avery Dépuceleus
Ithaca Le Bleu and Brute
Rocky Mountain Brewing Da Yoopers (literally liquid cherry pie in all the good ways, unlike anything I've ever had, flaky crust was most definitely a flavor)

I was also happy to get in some beers from a few strangers to Colorado such as Duck Rabbit, Alesmith, Pizza Port(s), Cigar City, Ninkasi, New Glarus and Three Floyds.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Delirium Nocturnum is known to be a pretty mediocre Belgian beer. But, I would certainly not write off all other Belgians. as good as Rochefort is, there are many others also worth your while.

Here is a list of the top 50 Belgian beers, as rated by the users of Beer Advocate. There's a ton of great beer here, and most of it is pretty easy to find.

And Delirium isn't even on the list. ;)

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a SN Tumbler. Didn't like it and yet have found a SN I enjoy.

Going to grab a Three Floyds Gumballhead since they got them on special at the bar.

That's just wrong. Another statement like that and we're just going to have to revoke your man card. :bx

Just not a fan of a burnt water flavor. :D

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Duck Rabbit Barleywine

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

Had a couple Founders Breakfast Stouts.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 

I'm drinking my first ever Surlyfest, and loving it. While I would not consider this an "Octoberfest" beer, it certainly is a wonderful autumn-inspired malty beer. Personally, I'd have given it a bit more carbonation, but I'm loving it this way too.

There is something about this that reminds me very much of Deschutes Black Butte porter. I'm guessing there are similar crystal malts but I can't tell for sure where the similarity lies, but there is a definite "Black Butte" taste going on here.
