3 Floyds Black Sun stout was very good and interesting. The aroma was like an I.P.A. and had some piney flavors as it was drunk but finished roasty.

I've found another one that hits me right...Magic Hat #9. Picked up a sixer on a whim and I very much like this. Very much.

Over the last 1 1/2 weeks, I had a couple of parties at my house. Along with some light beer, I served:

Weihenstephaner Original (probably my favorite Bavarian to date)
Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA
Southern Tier 2X IPA
Full Sail IPA
Smuttynose Winter Ale
Guinness
Boddingtons

I heard no complaints about any of the selections. :tu

Anyone interested in doing this with beer? Let me know, I will start a beer tasting thread.

I would love to start a "tasting club" here. I think it would introduce people to new wines, help train palettes, most importantly get people thinking and learning about wine.

heres how it would work:

-Every week/ 2 weeks someone picks a varietal and/or region- this can be chosen out of a hat or have a list set up.

Example- Joe_Smith picks- California Syrah
Everyone goes out and buys a bottle off CA syrah and posts tasting notes- we can eventually modify this to CA Syrah under $20 or Dry Creek Valley Syrah, etc.

-We come up with standard tasting guidelines- notes for sight / nose / taste - etc

- You can taste as many wines as you want to during the alloted time period.

What do you guys think? We can add some guidelines along the way.

Nice looking bottles and i guess the taste matches the bottling. But, I never seen most of these brands, are they more regional or simply hidden jewels?

Just found several bottles of Samuel Adams Triple Bock at a local beer store. Never had it and im not sure what year it is. Ive heard both good and bad about this beer but i figured for $6 it was worth a try. Anyone else try it?

When it first came out, years ago--I remember at the time that it was very thick and syrupy. I still have one bottle, probably 6 or 7 years old at this point. Not sure when I'll crack it. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Yeah thats what ive heard it was thick and heavy but i have also heard alot of people say it tastes like soy sauce.:pu I believe it was last made in 1997 so your bottle is more like 13 years old. Im going to crack it open this weekend i'll let you know how it is.

By the way, their food is great, and the pub is like nothing else on earth. I am definitely going to Dark Lord Day this april.

Tonight I'm enjoying a Stone Smoked Porter. If you are ever in San Diego you have to visit Stone Brewery. They brew some amazing beers. Anyone get to try the vertical epic this year?

Nothing exotic. Just a Blue Moon.

Yes about 10 times. It is fantastic!

In fact I think my liquor store still has some. I might buy a few more to set aside.

Matt-n-ga and I have our first batch bottle conditioning right now and should be ready in about a week. I am itching to start batch 2!

Last night I had La Fin du Monde for the first time. I really enjoyed it

It looks like they just updated the tap list. Before we went there, they did not have the list updated, but only a few things changed. The pub menu hasn't changed that much, but they do have braised goat tacos that were amazing. The burger is outstanding, and from what everyone at the pub said, there is nothing on the menu that sucks at all.

I'm thinking a KBS tonight. Never drank a full one myself, only tastes here and there. Either that or a *****es Brew.
