Haven't had the the No. 4 yet...will try it next week.

[BeerAdvocate]

I have always wanted to try one of the Woodcuts, but $25 for a bottle is too rich for my blood!

[BlackDog]

Ditto that. I've ehard the imperial marzen lager is great, but for that kind of money I'll have to pass.

[b0rderman]

They all are very good, and very pricey...I mean that is 8 Punkins! Got it mostly for GABF week here in Denver to share with friends, and because I can't stop at No. 3, right? Oak aged 11%ABV lager sounded interesting and with the excellent track record of the other other Woodcuts I had to go for it. I'll let you guys know how it stacks up in the other thread when I open it next week.

Still a bargain compared to that fancy grape juice stuff :)

How is goose islands Bourbon County compared to Breakfast stout/Kentucky Bourbon Stout.
I hear so many great things about them all, but Have failed to try the GOOSE! :tu

How is goose islands Bourbon County compared to Breakfast stout/Kentucky Bourbon Stout.

For me Same it's
1) KBS: It's a solid Stout with great flavors that seem to change when it warms up. The last few sips always taste like the best chocolate shake. Very balanced beer with the bourbon.
2) GIBCS: Out of the three this one for me you can really get a alcohol flavor, it doesn't hide and is your face. The flavors I get in the GIBCS as it warms is always buttered toast (which is first) and the last one I seem to get is hostess fruit pie.
3) BS: I think for a basic stout the BS it a solid beer but when compared to the others it loses.


-edit-
this was something I typed up after splitting some beers with a couple friends.

3 more bombers of Three Floyds Arctic Panzer Wolf.

Stopped by a liquor store up here in Mass. and there sat Southern Tier Choklat and Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout so I bought a bomber of each!

[BlackDog]

I stopped in the local shop today to buy some wine for my wife, and they had these Paulaner glasses with a 1 liter can of wiesn beer, so I got one of those too. The 16oz can of Surly is alongside just for size comparison. :chr

[b0rderman]

Good haul tonight...

3 x Pliny the Elder (max allowed)
1 x RR Temptation
1 x Victory Saison du BUFF
1 x De Dolle Bos Keun

[Bill86]

Nice scores b0rder and wyguy! Let us know how the pliny is.

[b0rderman]

Pliny is as good as always, only a week and a day old all the way out here in Colorado, I am impressed. An 'often imitated, never duplicated' sort of thing...I would not call myself a hop fan, but I do enjoy the balance and clean, I suppose, taste and mouth feel of the classic Pliny, the mildly sweet finish brings it all together. Lots of good beers downed tonight along with it, on the eve of our date with GABF.

[Bill86]

Nice, I've yet to try pliny. I've had Dreadnaught and loved it, I hear good things about the elder and the younger.

Being an East Coaster, I wouldn't call Pliny balanced. But fantastic, it is!

[kaisersozei]

Being an East Coaster, I wouldn't call Pliny balanced. But fantastic, it is!

I've held off on brewing a clone of Pliny the Elder because, well--the hops alone would cost about $40+ for a 5 gallon batch (almost 17 oz of hops, that's insane!) I think the whole thing would run about $100. But maybe it's worth it. :dr

FWIW, while I've never had PtE and can't make the comparison, if you're interested in a solid IPA clone, Midwest Supply's Ferocious is an excellent Surly Furious clone. The clone receipe and kit was made in conjunction with Todd Haug, who is now the head brewer at Surly and was once an employee at Midwest. Use the British II yeast, it's the same that Surly uses.

They sell Pliny packs for under $15, I think it's 12-13 ounces of hops for five gallons. I just bought 4.5 pounds of hops that averaged ~$0.85 cents an ounce (online).

I think they had the Pliney pack for $12.95. (Edit... I just looked and it is now $10.95)
I have ordered from them before and the hops and service were both fantastic.
Shipping was USPS Priority.

Not a bad haul, but my ass is grass if/when the wife finds out!! I paid 1/2 cash, so she will only find out about 1/2 the purchase!!

[BeerAdvocate]

Those are some quality beers Joey. Nice Haul!!!

[joeybear]

Thanks, Travis. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but I was at a chain-grocer liquor store so there wasn't too much in the way of extraordinary. I have those at home already!! This whole beer cellar thing is as expensive as cigars, but takes up a shitload more room!

[b0rderman]

nice haul for sure...would like to hear your thoughts on the LH Oktoberfest. I found it pretty tasty, but maybe too much caramel.

Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin...$10 bomber, seems high but I guess it's a fancy boy.

Tried this beer at GABF and was impressed...it's essentially a double pumpkin ale...more flavor, more booze. Looking forward to trying it again.

I happened to be in the store today when the delivery guy brought in the Surly Darkness. I had pretty much written off finding one. The store got one case, and almost all of them were spoken for before they were sold. I happened to be there at the right time. :noon

I also picked up some Nosferatu, a bottle of Eric's Ale, both of which are excellent beers. But, I wasn't paying attention and grabbed a bottle of "Southern" Henisphere Harvest rather than "Northern." Not sure how fresh this will be. :sh

O_O whenever anyone says Dark Lord I keep thinking Three Floyds :bh.

Yeah, I can't get the Three Floyd's one over here :(

The Bateman's one I get is very nice, although with everything I hear about the other, I want some of that too...

[Bill86]

Yeah the dark lord is an exclusive need ticket event......such a pain. Getting bottles on ebay sucks. The cost is like 3-5 times the MSRP. I refuse to pay it, for now. Someday maybe.

I cannot get Three Floyds short of a serious road trip. When my parents were in Indiana I had them get me a case of Dreadnaught...it was EPIC. Also 6 of robert the bruce and 6 of alpha king. It's was all gone within a month -_-.

[LasciviousXXX]

I'm the same Bill. I can get consistently good beer where I'm at but none of the HTF or low production stuff. One of these days though I'll try some Dark Lord and some Surly and some 3 Floyds and and and........ lol

[Bill86]

To make it worse I cannot buy beer online! :fu2 Tennessee!

Someday....I have a huge beer wish list and damnit one day I'll make it all happen. Due to the liquor store remodeling I haven't had a beer in about a month, although once its done they'll have a full refrigerated room from what I gather. The beers definitely going to be stored cold either way :tu.

List of breweries I haven't had any of beers from.
Russian river
Surly
Alesmith
Bells
Founders
Cigar City


I'm going to work on that though once I get employed again. I'm thinking a Kentucky run is in order. Definitely gotta get on those Imperial stouts from bells/founders/alesmith.

[Lumpold]

To make it worse I cannot buy beer online! :fu2 Tennessee!

That bites! I just dropped approx $50 on beer online! Liquor stores here sell a million types of lager, and few ales. Supermarkets sell more ales, but only bigger breweries. Online is where I get a lot of the smaller batch stuff I drink!

[b0rderman]

sooo...boss gave me the company card to buy beer tonight for the five of us that need to stick around until all the polls close, so I had a good trip to the liquor store:

Pliny the Elder x 4
Avery Reverend x 2
DFH Pangea
DFH Palo Santo 4 pack
Lost Abbey Lost and Found
Samuel Smith Christmas 4 pack
Rochefort 10 x 2
Le Fin du Monde
and I think a couple of other bottles

long day, but lots of beer!

[Bill86]

Nice score, and on the bosses dime. EPIC

[Lumpold]

Let me know how the Palo Santo is... I can get hold of that :r

[Bill86]

I can tell you right now, FANTASTIC! Get a 4 pack, it's one of my go to beers. My second favorite DFH beer besides the World Wide Stout. For some reason I'm REALLY attached to the Sautea as well and the black & blue...and...okay DFH just have really awesome brews.

[b0rderman]

Will do no doubt, I've had it before but it has been a while...haven't had the Pangea yet though...looking forward to diving in.

Into the Avery Reverend...boss's request. Pretty damn good! Also got a Bruery Rugbrod, forgot to add that.

[Lumpold]

OK, I lied, I just checked and it's Palo Santo Marron? Is that the same beer? If it is, it better be friggin awesome, it's £5/bottle.

[Bill86]

Yeah Palo Santo Marron, everyone just calls it the palo santo. O_o they are $4 USD here.

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/dogfish-head-palo-santo-marron/66797/ Ratebeer says it's Phucking awesome! I definitely concur.

[Lumpold]

How much is Raison D'Etre? Rd'E costs me.... about $4... and that's expensive given local ales are maybe $3/500ml as opposed to $4/355ml.

[Bill86]

Same $3.50-$4.00 for the D'Etre

The higher ABV (18.5%) one is $10 per 12 oz "Raison D Extra"

[Lumpold]

Don't have access to that one... the ones I can easily get hold of are: IPA60, IPA90, Festina Peche, Raison D'Etre, Midas Touch and Palo Santo... I presume they're are all pretty good?

[Bill86]

I would rank them from best to worst
Palo Santo($4.50)
90 minute (if you LOVE hops, if not switch this and the midas touch)($3.00)
Midas touch ($3.00)
festina peche
60 minute

Haven't had any of their raison beers ...I don't like raisins.

I would buy the Palo Santo/Midas touch/90 minute all day. The rest meh..They are OKAY, but again I dig the high gravity (6.2%+ABV) beers. The festina peche is a lowly 4.5% abv. Also the 90 minute is the best rated IPA easily out of all of DFH IPAs.

[Lumpold]

OK, looks like the next order will include one of each of the top three :D

Just need to get enough of an order (delivery is £7.50) otherwise it's not financially sensible.

[Bill86]

You'll definitely enjoy them. I haven't had but maybe one DFH brew I didn't like. I remember the one night I pounded 3 120 minute IPA's.... oh that was fun.

So I went in to the off license, to see what, if any, ales they had. Came out with these.

[Bill86]

If you like the sierra nevada I suggest getting the 30th anniversary ale the fritz and kens is :dr.

[Lumpold]

Well this is the first time I've had the porter... it's not bad, just not as full as I'm used too. I don't hate SN ales, they're not offensive... just have other beers I like more... of which, you will hopefully see photos tomorrow! :tu

[Lumpold]

Oh, and your beer bottles are too small. What's all this 355ml rubbish about?

[Bill86]

Yeah 12 oz's, unfortunately that is the only size they come in. I look at it this way, I drink more of different kinds of beers instead of one or two of the same beer.

If I was buying bombers I'd go stones. Dogfish head doesn't do bombers only wine size bottles and 12oz's. The Black & blue, Red & white, Sautea, Theobroma, Chateau Jiahu and Miles Davis *****es Brew are all wine size 25.9 Oz.

Also Stones makes good FULL beers, Try the double bastard ale, arrogant bastard ale, Vertical epic, Russian imperial stout and the oaked arrogant bastard ale.

[Lumpold]

I can get the Sublimely Self Righteous Ale, Smoked Porter and the Old Guardian easily, might need to search for those you mention.

[Bill86]

The Sublimely Self Righteous is awesome. That the Russian imperial and Double Bastard are my favorites. LOVE the Ruination as well. Double Bastard will always be my favorite though.

I will! I don't know about it's US availability... brewed by a small brewer in Kent! I love it... refer the cask to bottles though.

Also... at the price below, it would have been bad form to pass on a bottle of duvel...

I was wondering if any of you can get your hands on Bell's Winter White Ale, or Oberon. I cant get them down south at all. If you can I WTB some thanks guys

[Bill86]

Bell doesn't distribute much down south I really wanted to try their expedition stout. Same with Alesmiths speedway stout and founders......We don't get too good of Imperial Stouts around here. I'd love to find someone to hook me up with some of these. Especially the speedway stout.

We get most everything Bell's makes so I will stop by the store and see tomorrow. The Oberon is probably gone because it was a summer seasonal but I will look for it as well.

I've still got some from last year and it is awesome. It seemed boozy when fresh, but is a delight now. I'll have to get some 2010 also.

Duvel for $1.27?? Holy cow. I'd have cleared the shelves.

One of my beer places here in t-town still has Oberon but it is beertender kegs. They also have some other Bells in 6ers I believe one of which was the Winter Ale. Shoot me a pm if your interested and we'll see what we can work out.

The Oberon is 6 months old by now. I'd suggest you wait until next spring to get it fresh.

Yeah B!tches brew was so freaking limited, I scored one bottle of it and that was all. It was good though.

[kydsid]

Are you kidding me?

Wish I was.. Evidently its one of many reasons why a lot of my favs aren't available here. How about having the word beer anywhere on a label, even the back on a 'beer' with more than 5% alcohol won't be licensed for individual sale.

Wow, I gotta try that Lukcy Basartd

Had this year's DB on tap right after it. From what I can remember (it was a few weeks ago), the Lukcy was noticeably more hopped. It may have been the extra hops in the Lukcy, but the DB was a lot hotter tasting then I remember as the extra alcohol showed up WAY too much in this year's. I'm thinking the extra hops in the lukcy must've thrown off my palate.

If anyone has a line on a bottle, I will make it worth you while!
