I was thinking "Black and Tan" the other night. Tried to layer a Schell Stout on top of a Summit Horizon Red (think Surly Furious Jr.). It didn't layer well, either from poor technique or wrong SGs, but it was gosh darn delicious.

I didn't get that from Horizon, maybe I need to try it again. If it really is Furious jr., that would be a nice cost-effective subsitiution on occasion.

Here is my review from BA:

12oz bottle poured in a cylindrical Hobgoblin pint glass.

A- Nice deep red with one finger of head. Clings nicely to glass.

S- Hoppy, citrusy aroma up front, with a bit of molasses in the background.

T- Like the smell, this has plenty of Hops and grapefuit up front, and finishes with light malt. However, there is a metallic aspect to this that I find unpleasant. Seems a bit unbalanced for an amber ale. IMO should be a bit more in the malt deparment.

M- A bit thin, and a bit too bitter for this style. I'd prefer less carbonation but it's certainly not excessive.

D- This is certainly a fine sessionable beer, but I was hoping for something more. I'd like to try this on tap too see how it compares to the bottled version. Summit seems to have "good" beer down pat, but I'd like to see them release a couple of "great" beers.

Picked up He Brew Jewbilation and Lagunitas Gnarly Wine yesterday. I'll try one of them tonite. The Gnarly Wine seems low ABV for a barley wine. Are you guys sipping this or drinking a full glass?

Edit: Now that I've thought about it, a sipping barley wine would be much more costly. I'm pouring a glass.

They make some REALLY good beers. I wish we could get them out here in MA.

I've had teh Hebrew Jewbilation a few times. It's a decent beer. I found it to be overly sweet for my taste. However, I really appreciate the cheekiness of this beer company. It's called "Jewbilation Bar Mitzvah" and there are 13 kinds of hop and 13% ABV. Plus, they brewed it to celebrate the 13th anniversary of their company. They actually threw a mini-Bar Mitzvah for themselves last year at the Great American Beer Festival. It was pretty funny.

For making black and tans at home, you might want to try this:

http://www.brutul.com/

My sister's boyfriend gave one to me...it still requires a little delicacy, but it definitely makes it easier and is kind of a cool addition to a bar. No affiliation with the company, just thought I'd point it out.

Blindjimme · 02-26-2010, 10:51 AM

Had the Lagunitas Gnarly Wine last night. First taste is a blast of orange blossom honey that fills the nose and coats your tongue. There's a nice hoppiness through out. Not as sweet as it may sound, really good.
