Abita Mardi Gras Bock arrived at my store Friday afternoon....took home a chilled 6pk. Tastes even better than last years brew. I've been told we are to be getting around 6 more different "BOCKs" within the next month, so far Abita and Shiner have landed.

Ok, I got curious and went to look

Both good choices, I would say you need to try a KBS from start to finish to see how it develops, but the *****es Brew is great too :hm

Not sure what I'll be having either but need something good to watch the Falcons take on the Packers

Olde Hickory Doppelbock (a great example of a doppelbock)

I bought 1 6 pack of the Bell's Expedition Stout a few days ago. Bought another 2 6 packs yesterday to put away for a year(or more). Both have a batch number of 9971. This is a beer worth aging.

Bourbon Barrel Heine Brothers Coffee Stout

Thanks Tom.

This is a tasty beer. I wish it was a tad more thicker but there are plenty of flavors but it's odd that you don't always taste them. Some sips I seem to taste more coffee others I get more vanilla. The bourbon barrel flavor is almost overpowering but not bad.

1 out of 5
I would give this a 3. I just wish it was a tad thicker for what it was.

Might bump it down a bit. As it warms up there isn't much of a change to it.

Spending the weekend in Potosi WI. We visited the Potosi brewery. The beer is good. I had had it in Madison in bottles. It is significantly better on tap at the brewery. I think the pasteurization process changes the flavor in the bottles. I have particularly enjoyed their IPA and Stout. On tap at the brewery those are very good beers. Full of flavor and nuance. A nice treat. We had brought Avery Barleywine, Imperial Stout and IPA as well as some Dogfishhead 90 min to have back in the inn. :) All in all lots of tasty beer.

Jbailey 01-16-2011 05:16 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
I gotta try the Avery Barleywine.

Right now Bob the downtown Great Dane has a 2008 Barleywine on tap which is pretty tasty.

Been trying to get more into wines lately. Mainly, led by the wife. Mostly Cab and Pinot.

Did have some fantastic stuff in vegas (company sales meeting). Silver Oak, Jordan, Nickel & Nicklel And some Cakebread. All were fantastic, but all are way out of my price range.

No Screaming Eagle or Opus One? I say that just because there "Cali Cult" wines.

Tried a new style the other day-
An indian style brown ale.

I forget the brewery's name (which is a shame), but the beer was delicious.
Nice balance of hops/malt.

I'm not sure if that's a joke I don't understand, or a beer I've never heard of.
Either way, this is the one I had.
