Trying something new....
Spanish Peaks Brewing Co.
Honey Raspberry Ale

Pretty good. Not too much raspberry taste to it. Goes down smooth.

Sounds tasty Jeff


Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence Stout for me for episode 2 of Brewmasters tonight. I actually tried a DFH chew/spit beer at GABF in 2009...it was OK, still not sure why I tried it...this episode will probably make me wish I didn't.

I haven't been overly impressed with Stone as a brewery but the RIS is fantastic :tu

How is the Winter Warmer from Samuel Smith?

b0rderman 11-29-2010 09:38 AM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
I like it...it's not going to knock your socks off but with Sam Smith's that is not the point. I enjoy drinking their beers not because they are weird or extreme, but because they are a classic representation of each style. I get several bottles every winter, the girlfriend likes it too.

I have been picking up more winter beers, and I've seen this one a lot.

I had more of Founders Porter last night. One of the best porters IMHO.

NICE love the Three Floyds Dreadnaught I killed a case in a month, it was fantastic. :tu

As for me tonight it's a 4 pack of punkin head. I'll probably finish at least 3, then on to some bourbon.

I've been enjoying some Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat Stout from a brewery in Manhattan KS... good stuff :dr And that's coming from somebody that typically isn't a stout drinker... I dunno if that means it's good or not but I like it :tu

I am lucky enough that 4 shop within 20 min's of me carry them; 3 of the 4 have a 6 pack limit an the other shop has no limit. But last time I picked up a case was $125.

Bill86 11-30-2010 03:29 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Damn, my case of Dreadnaught was only $100. Didn't last but 20-25 days. Given the chance I'd still buy a case.

awsmith4 11-30-2010 04:14 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Last night had a mix suggested by a guy at BA called a Wake-n-Moo. Half Terrapin Wake-n-Bake Coffee Oatmeal Stout and half Terrapin Moo-Hoo Chocolate Milk Stout. One work...FANTASTIC. But it gets better, he then suggested one should add a shot of bourbon (I used Four Roses Single Barrel) to the mix, so I did and WOW! I typically don't make mixed drinks but I found an exception!

That's odd....The idea sounds good, coffee + chocolate milk + bourbon. Just cannot get the moo-hoo

Albert, that sounds :dr!

I've heard that it' becoming generally acceptable in "mixology" circles (as well as more fashionable) to experiment with beer drinks. There was an article in a recent Brew magazine that talked about this. I'm typically a purist, but what you had sounds good so far!

Other than the occasional Black and Tan or when I mixed a sweet beer I couldn't finish by itself with a Stout (ie Pumpking) I never plan one out. But I have to say this Wake-n-Moo add bourbon was a WINNER!!!

Anyone been getting into Black IPAs? I've had the Odells, but haven't poked around to any of the others I don't think.

That's my favorite porter too. I love the slightly sour taste.

I'm drinking my homebrew Imperial Vanilla Bourbon porter. I had one a week ago and thought it seemed a little thin. This one seems a lot better.

Yeah I get that too on the very end of the finish. Up front I love the great roasted malts, rich chocolate and coffee on the mid-palate. I also taste some nuttiness as well. I want to pair this beer with a cigar. I think maybe a Monte 2. The beer isn't too strong, and I think it will enhance the classic monte flavors.
