Avery New World Porter, a dry-hopped porter! Kind of a cross between a pale ale and a stout--rich roasty, chocolatey tones, backed up by a nice hop aroma & bite. It's a limited release, so pick some up while you can--great beer!

Ratebeer agrees as do I. Three Floyds make some damn good brews.

Had a homebrew stout, a Bell's Two-Hearted and a Mission Street Pale Ale last night.

The Pale Ale was from Trader Joe's and was OK. But it was cheap! I guess they have an IPA, too, but I didn't see any there.

Cool, that was my first time trying it. I am a big lover of Bourbon Barrel aged R.I.S.'s. This beer, I think would be an excellent candidate for some barrel time. What do you say?

McSmokey 01-21-2011 05:48 PM

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
 
Regrettably I have not yet had the chance to taste Bourbon Barrel aged brew due to the unrealistic nightmare that's is Craft beer regulations in Alabama I am hoping to make a large purchase in Atlanta if Albert will entertain my lack of knowledge

Schlafly Hop Harvest Ale
Schlafly 20th Anniversary Series Release No.1 (Imperial Pilsner)
Chimay (Red, White, and Blue... I couldn't make up my mind)

I'm thoroughly enjoying the Hop Harvest Ale for now... once the wife goes to bed I may try the others.

Really liked both, though I drank the DL first and it kind of influenced the flavors of all the subsequent beers. The 09 DL is very sweet to me, and not my favorite DL year as a result. The KBS certainly has more of a hard alcohol thing going, but not overwhelming.

This was my last pickup. I drank it with Echo's Birthday Lobster Dinner.

I had an 07 recently which knocked my socks off. Just hot enough to enjoy the hard alcohol kick, but not too much. The 08 wasn't as unique, but it also may have been influenced by the Dark Lord I drank before it.

Trying the 08 and 09 back to back on tap last year was interesting. What a difference.

Three Floyds is one of my favorite breweries. Bell's and Founders are also favorites.

I'll tell you a beer I am NOT enjoying: Bell's Cherry Stout. Oily mouthfeel, lacked sweetness, very tart, the flavors did not blend well at all, especially as the beer warmed--it was as if someone added unsweetened cherry juice to a stout.

Which is pretty much what they say they did. I expected more from this. :(

Based upon that evaluation I suggest you stay clear, very clear of Founder's Cerise.

Not a stout.
Not Good.
I bought a 4 pack and threw two away.
