That's like saying Slipknot is as deep into metal as you go. Nothing to bang your head about.

'twas a joke. Even though that is about the deepest in to beer I go, I wasn't expecting any actual response.

i'm having the grand teton xx au naturale tonight. not my favorite, too much hops.

i decided i needed more dark beers, since the season is changing. so i bought these:

this brew with raisins should be interesting

I had some Molson Dry last night. I don't think it's sold in America. As the name suggest it is a dryer and slightly more alcoholic lager than Molson Canadian. It's cheap and drinkable, but it's not especially tasty.

 

[KMADD]

Yeah they sell that molson brand here its pretty good. Hey GR how is that Three Philosphers Beer? I almost bought it at Kahn's Superstore the other day when they had an octoberfest beer and wine tasting party. Btw i highly recommend a good German Dark Wheat beer made by Schneider called Aventinus esp if you find a special one that was brewed in 2003 yum!

So I found a pub near my sisters uni which actually had Staropramen on draught!

Good to know

 

[genocide roach]

havnt had it yet. i buy in mass, and i just dont get to em quick

The one time I had Three Philosohpers, I think it was an off bottle. It had a ton of protein chunks in it, and it was just okay. I like Ommegang's beers quite a bit, but sometimes they have some QC issues. They need to start dating their beers.

That being said, I had a four pack of Hennepin last night, and they were delicious. Was hungover pretty bad today though.

having the witches brew tonight. pretty good thus far. a little hoppy, but well balanced with a warm malty taste. still very light though. almost as good as the allagash tripel
~gR~

 

[Cythraul]

Tonight I've been enjoying a couple of trusty old favorites, i.e. Weihenstephaner Korbinian and Ayinger Bräu Weisse. A couple weeks ago I tried an Ommegang for the first time. It was the Abbey Ale. I really enjoyed that one and look forward to trying some more of their brews.

Ayinger is great stuff. good call

 

[AchrisK]

Last night I had a bomber of Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. It was pretty good. Sickeningly black with a head that looked like a chocolate shake. Not my favorite style, but good.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Went to a beer bar to watch the Cubs game, and their atrocious play led me to drink. A lot. I went through:

Southern Tier Pumking 22oz. 9% abv
Two Brothers Bare Tree Weiss Wine (split a 750) 10.5%
Ayinger Celebrator 6.7%
Surly Coffee Bender 5.1%
Dark Horse Rod ? (supposedly brewed with aphrodisiac herbs)

Everything I had was tasty, although my palate must have been destroyed by the time I got to Rod. The Bare Tree was very good. Very strong honeydew melon flavors.

 

[genocide roach]

started in on the chimay cinq cent trappist. its not my style. not enough malty warmth and a bit light on the flavor. after two chimay beers, ive decided im not a fan. just not enough flavor.
~gR~

 

[cookiecutter]

Wow MoL that is some high abv stuff.

I had a local beer called Amsterdam Blonde the other day. It was pretty good and had the peanutty aftertaste that Molson Canadian has.

 

[genocide roach]

thats todays purchase

i was trying to find some dark spiced ales, but with no luck.

on a sad note, the cork on my lost abbey bottle broke. im not sure how i can get it hopen. even using a cork screw didnt work. it just crumbled when i pulled...
~gR~

 

[viewerfromnihil]

If you've got cork problems, ram it down with a pen or screwdriver, then pour slowly to avoid getting the chunks in the glass. Or use a coffee filter if there are lots of small pieces.

 

[genocide roach]

yeah, im gonna push the cork in. its simply too perfect for my dinner tonight. (sweet potato and pork in a chili/chocolate rub). the raisins should give it a dark and sweet (much like myself) flavor that will go well with this new chocolate stuff.
~gR~

 

[genocide roach]

ok, for the lost abbey... GREAT! reminds me of 1554 in color and taste, just a bit more fruity (due to the raisins). lots of chocolate though. and this is BLACK! barely a hint of brown in there...

i dig...
