Passed on the Infinium yesterday. @ $19.99/bottle it was a little too steep given some of the reviews I read.

Instead I picked up 6 more bottles of Lucky Basartd and a 6 pk of Victory Yakima Glory.

MikeyC...I felt I got suckered into buying it by the fancy presentation, the rolleyes was at myself.

Tried it last night...this stuff is the real deal...will be getting a few more bottles for sure. Excellent beer! However, it does worry me that the more we buy the ~$20 bottles, the more $20 bottles there will be.

Then I'm guilty as charged. I've bought 9 bottles of the Infinium so far and have 2 more on hold. Plan on bringing a couple home for Christmas and a few more for a new year's eve party the week after.

I really like it. It smells like beer but has a lighter fruity taste to it like you normally would get during the warmer months. I couldn't drink it all the time but its good for a change of pace or if your having drinks with people who normally don't like the bitter taste of beer. :2

Stock up if you like this beer. I understand they won't be making it again.

I hate to pay $20 for a bottle of beer but if they can charge a premium for a super premium spirit why not a super premium beer? I understand it took two years to develop this beer and it's not an easy beer to make so I don't mind paying a couple extra $'s.

[b0rderman]

either do I, the beer is awesome...rolleyes taken back!

Got 4 pack of DFH WWS 2010. I'll probably pick up another for aging.

How are people getting bottles of this, let alone multiple bottles????

[Ol' Times Cigars]

OK, I need to stop going to the store. One bottle of Delirium Noel, 3 bottles of Bells Batch 10,000 and one bottle of Bourbon County Rare Stout, bottle # 7,396.

http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll103/kbureta/IMG_2800.jpg

Just had the Noel thursday night. That was a great beer I really enjoy the beers they put out.

9 bottles, wow lucky. I searched and came up with 4. I wish I could get some more but everyone in my area was limiting it to one bottle per customer and the other half of the places had no clue as to what I was talking about.

Got to know some people well at one shop in town. I had one reserved at said store and when I checked out they told me there was one more left if I wanted it. I was also on another list across town.

For some reason this was easier to get then Vanilla. :sh

I didn't have any trouble finding a couple bottles, but it sold out pretty quickly. Did you try the beer finder on SamAdams.com? I used that the pinpoint my search. It tells you what stores received bottles.

I was surprised how easy it was to find. Finding Utopias is much harder.

Surly Darkness!! My favorite liquor store had a bottle squirreled away. 4pk Surly Abrasive Ale and Deschuttes Mirror Mirror. In freaking beer heaven.

[kaisersozei]

I was out earlier looking for that Ommegang that Dave scored. No dice. But I did pick up some local brews and a Stone

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii88/kaisersozei/Beer/beerhaul122910.jpg

Dominion Brewery is the home of the original Tupper's Hop Pocket Ale, one of my first favorite IPAs from long ago, and whose brewmaster eventually left for Victory Brewing. Legend Brewing is a Richmond brewery with some excellent beers but only regional distribution. This barleywine is a special release--15% ABV, holy crap! Very tasty :al

[Bill86]

Nice 15% Enjoying slaying that beast Gerard!

Score! I haven't ever found Darkness in stores, but have a tradition with a friend where we hunt it down on tap after it's released each year and have a couple of glasses. :tu

[GTS21]

Some Brooklyn brewery black ops and Dogfish *****es brew

[Bill86]

Can't wait to try the BFM La Dragonne After Ski Ale...to be served "mulled like a hot wine"

Looks Like a Three Floyd's Moloko Milk Stout

Ah, thanks :tu

[Wanger]

Yup. Three Floyds Moloko Milk Stout. The DFH B'Brew just came in at a store in Hudson. We got a call from them that they got some (1 case). Limited to 1 bottle each. :( They also had DFH World Wide Stout, but it was $8.99/12 oz bottle, and just couldn't pull the trigger. I'm regretting that now. :(

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

Three Floyds Moloko is good stuff. Nice haul.

[Jbailey]

Last night I grabbed bombers of

Three Floyds Black Sun Stout x2
Three Floyds Alpha Klaus Christmas Porter x2

Our shelves are lined with WWS, but haven't been able to find a single bottle of B*Brew since it was first released--even though we're not more than 200 miles from the brewery. :bh Glad you could score one all the way out there in the midwest!

I remember reading a release from Sam at DFH saying certain states on the "normal" release routes would not be getting the B-Brew, and I think I remember VA being on that list. Sorry you couldn't get any, the WWS didn't do much for me, but the B-Brew is fantastic. I've got one bottle cellared now, and would gladly buy more if I can find it.

[St. Lou Stu]

Picked up a four pack tonight on the way home:

Total Wine by me had Rodenbach Grand Cru, which I haven't seen in a while and thought they were no longer making...........I say "had" because I bought all they had on the shelf and left it empty. :D Sorry local sour beer fans.

Calling today to see if they will be getting more, the check out lady tried to check but could not tell last night.

Did some research and I guess production never really halted. It was rumored that production was going to stop just on the Grand Cru, and then I didn't see it for a while, so I guess I just assumed. In any case, this is the first time TW in my area has carried it, so I am happy....and happy they are getting more. :tu

Rough day yesterday, so I treated myself to a special purchase on the way home:

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii88/kaisersozei/Beer/beerhaul011911.jpg

Had to cheat a little on my "no beer during the week" mantra and sample that Avery porter last night. Great stuff! Saving the Hoptimum for the weekend, when I can relax and enjoy it.

[awsmith4]

I was at work so I was not able too, my emotional torment lasted until last night when I got home and have a Terrapin Wake n Bake

This is my second bottle and i love it, i have heard several people who dont really care for it. It is different. I found it to start off sweet and almost carmel like with a creamy finsh with just a slight hoppy bitterness that balances the sweetness quite well. A friend of mine loves it so much he went out and bought every bottle he could find which was only about 10. The only place left in Buffalo that i can find it at is Village Beer Merchant.

[St. Lou Stu]

After a few drinks Friday night I mistakenly listed my haul in the what beer are you enjoying thread...:al:sh

Anywho... some of it survived the evening:
Chimay White
Chimay Red
Chimay Blue
North Coast Old Stock Ale (2009 Reserve) 600ml
Old Raspy XII
2x Schlafly 20th Anniversary Vol 1 (Imperial Pilsner)
A growler of Schlafly Hop Harvest Ale
A cool Chimay set with a 11.2oz bottle of each Red, White, and Blue with a cool Chimay glass
and one other that I can't remember (I hate it when that happens)

Me = Green with envy :D

I struck out on Hopslam this year. :( I'll take comfort in the fact that one of my DIPA homebrews was judged to be a "Hopslam clone" by the professional brewer who reviewed it, so I'll have to brew up another batch. :tu

Tony, I'd be interested in your thoughts on the Hoptimum. I had a bottle this weekend and was disappointed. It did have a nice, juicy hop character but was more grapefruity than I anticipated and not as balanced. I think Torpedo is a better beer. YMMV

[Jbailey]

Going to be cracking some Brooklyn Black Ops tonight.

Going to be cracking some Brooklyn Black Ops tonight.

I missed out this year but Matt (Matt-n-GA) brought a bottle over from last year for us to enjoy on New Years Eve. Fantastic stuff :dr

[Jbailey]

Got one gifted from a friend here. Looks yummy.

[newcigarz]

That's a nice looking brew Peter. It appears you have a little snow in the backyard:D

[pektel]

It tasted pretty good too! I would wager there's a good 18" of snow out there right now. Maybe more. On the bright side, it's been rather warm lately (20-25 above).

Well I decided to go back and get these two bottles:

2010 Schlafly Reserve Imperial Stout
Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti

[Bill86]

Nice, that Schlafly is pretty good.

I've heard mixed reviews on it, but I figured I would see for myself.

[Bill86]

I've heard mixed reviews on it, but I figured I would see for myself.

IMHO it's not worth the price but it's not bad by any means, I'd give it a 8/10. I think I paid nearly $15-16 for the bottle.

[McSmokey]

4 4packs of WnB.

[St. Lou Stu]

I've heard mixed reviews on it, but I figured I would see for myself.

I have a few '08s of that Schlafly... I'll bring one or more up to DLD.
With that beer, older is better IMHO.
I just drank the last of my 07s.

I don't plan on drinking the 2010 till next Christmas, or even 2012 winter. So I assume the 2007's were the best ones you've had? I only paid $9.99 for a bottle, I may pick up 2 or 3 more just to sit on for 3-5 years, if they age well.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

By the way Tim, I plan on bringing some brews to DLD as well.

****! That's a deal. They cost me $10.99 @ the brewery.
Yes, the 07's were good, very good. I had plenty of opportunity to taste them progressing through the years.
I can still get 08 if you are interested. That'll save you some wait time... like almost 2 years. :tu

WnB is my one of my favorite beers, I wish it was brewed year-round. I actually preferred this year's batch to FBS. I think I'll go chill one down right now.

I'm sure I posted this before but if you get a chance to get Terrapin Moo-Hoo Stout if you mix them 50-50 a Wake-n-Moo is delicious (especially if you then add a half shot of bourbon)

Not sure what you pay for W-n-B where you are. But Total Wine here had it on managers Special $8.95 a 4pk and I had a $1 off coupon. So good deal!

I've had the Bell's Double Cream. Good stuff. Unfortunately, the only Terrapin I've had was one I picked up at Total Wine in Orlando in Dec of 2009. They need to distribute up here, I think.

If it's still available, I'm picking up at least 2 sixers of hopslam on friday. If anyone wants any, let me know. Kind of expensive at $18/six pack, but it's truly a "tongue-bruiser" as described on the back of the bottle.

[MikeyC]

Picked up a 6er of Founders Centenial IPA. I've never had it before and it's not too bad. I also picked up a local brew called Wachusett Larry's IPA. Made by Wachusett brewery which is known for their Blueberry beer (barf!). I hear this Imperial IPA is pretty good though.

yes many times, it's actually the first stout i had outside of guiness a year or two ago and I haven't looked back. it's very easy to get a hold of up here in MA.

These are my next 3 to pick up (maybe next week): Goose Island Bourbon County 2009, Hoppin Frog BORIS, and The Lost Abbey Serpent Stout.

Great choices, when I was in Worcester last fall I was surprised by how much GIBCS 2009 I saw on the shelves. I bought one bottle to bring home and enjoyed it. The BORIS is great and the BORIS Barrel Aged is even better but its almost $16 a 22oz here so its a rare treat for me. Matt-n-GA shared his bottle of Serpent Stout with me and it was outstanding

Its about the same here, though I can't get Goose Island. If you haven't tries any of the Southern Tier Blackwater Series (Mokah, Choklat, Creme Brulee, Oat, Java) they are readily available up there and, imho, fantastic stouts

We've had the Choklat, and Ashtonlady brought us a Creme Brulee last time she was over this way. I have to say that the C.B. REALLY smells like c.b. when our open the bottle and take a whiff. It's a quite interesting beer (and good).

I like that one. I use wide, snifter type glasses the majority of the time but sometimes I just use a pint glass. Every now and then I drink from the glass they come in :D

[ashtonlady]

I use a snifter glass or a pint glass.

[kaisersozei]

I drink stouts out of a pint glass, unless they're Imperials and then I use a snifter or a wine goblet.

I agree I haven't had Pete's for a while and I realized there is a reason.
Not as good as it used to be.:2

Made a stout run on the way home yesterday

Hoppin' Frog Boris Oatmeal IS

I love the Frog!! :banger

[Bill86]

I really enjoyed the Avery Mephistopheles but for the price tag of $13 a bottle I'd rather pay $10 for a WWS @ 18% abv. Shame they cannot drop the cost on the Mephistopheles. Probably Averys best beer.

Nice pickup Albert. The Lost Abbey Serpents Stout is great.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

I picked up two bottles of WWS, bottle date of 11/17/2009. Also, Old Rasp. XII anny.

I have heard that 11/09 bottles of WWS are kinda messed up, anyone else have anyone thoughts? I'm not going to open them for a while.

Grabbed the last 6 of Bells Hopslam off the shelf at the local. Also grabbed a 4 pack of Founders Breakfast Stout.

Disappointed w/ Zuur? I'd love to run into that at my shop right now!

[BlindedByScience]

One of the great things about the Pacific Northwest is the availability of great beers.

I have not one, but two cases of "The Abyss" from Deschutes' 2010 batch (http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/brews/reserve-series/the-abyss/default.aspx) sitting on the floor....quietly waiting....aging nicely.....:tu
