Today I had Lagunitas A little sumpin' sumpin' ale. It was a lot like gumballhead but it finished a little more bitter than my liking. Wish that A little sumpin' Wild was still available out by me, loved that stuff.

I'm drinking a bomber of Avery "The Kaiser" that I forgot I had. This is a great Octoberfest, but at 9% abv it's kicking my butt.

Didn't get to try this one this year, and I really wanted to. I love Octoberfests and this one is loved by so many people.

Good stuff!

Drinking a Three Floyds Pride & Joy right now, not bad either but prefer the AK.

Last night I tried the Hoptimum. I paired it with a Bespoke cigar that I got from generous friend Seth - landhoney.

I was also disappointed with the Hoptimum. Not sure how to describe it, but it was a little thin on the palate. Just did not have the flavor profile I was expecting. The cigar was enjoyable though.
Glad I have some more Hopslam. :tu

That's it exactly--I wouldn't call it watery, but "thin" is perfect :tu

Bell's Two HEarted last night. I really like it, but my buddy brought over some home brew of his, and it blew the Bell's out of the water. Same hoppiness, but more fruit. More balanced on the palate. Wish he had more.

Question: Has anyone tried Bell's 10,000 Commemorative Ale? Never heard of it until last night when I went to pick up some hopslam (They were out :( )

I have two bottle of the 10000. Bells was releasing a commemorative brew for every 1000th batch they produced. This is the last one in that series.

From their website:

The last of a series, Batch 10,000 Ale looks back to our roots, symbolizing the end of the home-brewing season with a creative take on "cleaning out the brewing supplies closet". After combing through the catalogs of many malt and hop suppliers, our brewers used over 100 different malts, grains, and other fermentables, and followed them up with a blend of 60 different hop varietals between the kettle additions and dry-hopping. The resulting beer presents a deep, chocolate brown hue and offers roasted and caramel notes from the malts mixed with an assertive hop character. Sharply bitter, the beer possesses a full mouthfeel without being heavy and will withstand aging in your cellar.

Alcohol by Volume: 9.2%
Original Gravity: 1.086
Shelf Life: Unlimited

Thanks for the info :tu

Have you tried it yet? There are about 8 6-packs left on the shelves here. Would like to pick up a couple 6ers if it's worth it.

I haven't tried it yet, just got them as part of an anniversary gift from my wife. She was limited to 2 bottles. I'm hoping it will be good :tu

Its been a busy night beer wise. I went to a tasting at Village Beer Merchant.
We sampled: Saranac Irish Stout, Flying Bison Rusted Chain and Scotch Ale, Southern Tier Old Man Winter, Chocolate Stout, and 422 pale ale, Ommegang Witte, BPA and Adoration.
We then went to the Blue Monk and also had Delerium Tremens, Unibroue Ephremere and Ayinger Celebrator Doppel.:chr
