Just got back from Blue Max in Burnsville, MN...]

Great looking haul! I love Dirty Bastard and though I've never had it, the Surly Furious is on my must try list. And some Woodford to boot :dr

[newcigarz]

Well that was a bit longer than 20 mins but I had to finish the 4 pack to get a true result.

Way to take one for the team. :)

I liked it. It's not quite the same as last years brew but still very good. The Apricot flavor seems to be much more muted for some reason.

maybe that's what I didn't like about it. :confused:

I think I am getting the hang of this.........MAN, Greg, I almost picked up that Roquefort today
but it was JUST outside my desire to spend money today, it was 6 and change after I already
had these 3 packs and a bottle of Bacardi Select and one of E.W. Single Barrel. Just couldn't
justify it today.

[NCRadioMan]

Mmmmm the only DT's I enjoy! ;)

[OLS]

$4.50 a bottle seemed like a good price from what I have seen elsewhere. I have seen this stuff as high as
$18 a freaking bottle, generally in the 8-11 buck range. I guess there is a reduction with the 4 pack anyhow,
but $17.99 was an easy choice. And that's the problem, isn't it?? Freakin 18 bucks a sixer for BEER??

[Bill86]

:r Brad you have yet to learn.....beer is no cheaper than cigars.

If I'm going on the less high end size I'm happy to get away with $18 a sixer. Most often it's more like $30-$35

Rochefort Trappistes 10 is like $8-$8.50 for an 11.3oz
DFH WWS is $10 for a 12oz
Avery Mephistopheles is regularly $8-12 for a 12oz

Plenty more but you get the point. Beer is certainly not cheap.

[hammondc]

I would be curious to hear your thoughts on this. In past years I have loved it, but this year not so much. :sh

Agree 1000%. There was no apricot. I think they confused it with the 60 min. I was realllllllllly disappointed.

Man, you are killing me with the World Wide Stout. Cannot get that here is the grande republic of Texas.

While we are on the subject Bill and others, what do the various numbers denote on theose Rocqueforts?? I saw 10, and I think 8 and 3

[hammondc]

While we are on the subject Bill and others, what do the various numbers denote on theose Rocqueforts?? I saw 10, and I think 8 and 3

I have seen 6, 8 & 10. There is a good bit of flavor differences but the big diff is abv--something like 8, 9 & 11% respectively. I think the flavor gets more concentrated as you go up the series. Kinda like DFH 60, 90, 120 min.

hope that helps

[OLS]

I appreciate the insight, I can DRINK BEER and still not have read enough to know what I am talking about.
There are sometimes things we just drink on faith, lol. I take great pains to read about stuff I want to
know about and have an interest in, but when I saw this circle with a number in it, and you are likely right,
I only saw the 10, and just fabricated the other numbers, I just put that with my lack of further funds
and passed on the whole lot.

Just drank a Golden Monkey and I was pretty surprised, an abundance of hard-to-pinpoint flavors
and it was pretty damn good. Smoked a Ramonitas with it and prepared it for a blog entry.

[Bill86]

Rocheforts, and if I'm not mistaken they are different kinds of Belgian ale.

Double 6
Triple 8
Quadruple 10

Gaining higher ABV and flavor as you go up. IMHO 10's the best hands down without a doubt. 8 is very good, 6 was kinda meh for me.

I could be partially wrong as I really don't get INTO the way they make it or any of that crap. I focus more on drinking it :D

Close Chip
6 = 7.5%
8 = 9.2%
10 = 11.3%

Yes not on the same level as DFH IPAs but a great analogy.
60 minute = 6%
90 - 9%
120 - 18% (use to be 21%)

Many would debate the 90 minute being the best, but for me I like the 120 minute. The 21% ABV 120 minute boasted a lot of flavor, complexity and hit's very hard. A really winner for me.

I agree Brad, I'm more into the flavor and drinking it then knowing extensively about the processes in making it.

Go with the 10, it will probably blow your mind. The 8 is no slouch either but the 6 isn't worth the time or money, IMHO.

[OLS]

I dropped a pretty penny today, what with my liquor needs for my upcoming week in the mountains, so I have been
self-placed on a bit of a hiatus on beer purchases. But man am I stocked, at least for a casual drinker like me.
I have even been hammering away at the Jockamo lately trying to make it go away. Only 4 to go, lol.

:lr

Just shoot me a PM. I've tried literally 90%+ of the high gravity selections TN has to offer.

I wouldn't set you up with anything $hitty.

I'm am on the same buying hiatus because f**king TN's beer distribution has nothing new for months on end. They've been promising me new beer and more Ten-Fidy for about 6 months now.

It's okay though once they get more Ten-Fidy I'm buying it all.

Supposedly in the next 6 weeks they will get something good.....supposedly

[hammondc]

Bill, as far as DFH, I love the 90min. Probably top 3 IPA (IIPA) for me. I like the 120 and have a few, but I have never been able to drink a whole one by myself. I usually split it with the wife. It is delicious though.

As far as the Rocheforts being Dubbel, Trippel or Quads: I am not sure where the brewery is located, but my understanding is that only breweries in the southern regions (lowcountry?) separate Strong Ales into the different categories. Everything else in this style is simple Strong Ale or Strong Dark Ale. I do not drink a ton of Belgians, but this is how I have always understood it. I could be way off though. If someone knows better, I would be interested to hear it.

[Bill86]

I know the 10 is a quadruple that is it. I mean...I drank probably 10 #10's, 2 #8's and 1 #6. So I really don't know too much about the 6 or 8. Other than the 8 is good, but the 6 isn't worth it.

The 90 minute is great, especially for the price. It might be the best $3 IIPA out there. Probably top 5 for $3 beers period.

The 120 is intense, I guess I got lucky. The 120 minute was my first craft beer. So for me at the time it was nothing short of the best thing I had ever drank. I easily finished my first because I was so overwhelmed from finally tasting "real beer". I couldn't get enough.

The next day I bought 2 more and polished them both off back to back. Then I starting looking at other DFH beers. I was a kid in a candy store, still am.

I spoiled myself early on, I had the Rochefort 10 as my 2nd or 3rd high gravity. Once you taste beers that good....there's no stopping you.

Up in the mountains of Western NC, and sorry Greg, I ate your ribs......

But I hit Peabody's in Boone, and I have to say it is reveiewd as being expensive, and it is relatively
so, but in case these reviewers haven't noticed, this stuff ain't cheap no matter where you find it.
And in this case, where you find it is at the top of a mountain, and has no competition to speak of,
so what r you gonna do? Two days worth of hauls. One beer, the one that looks like "tokyo" it is 18%
and as such he could not legally sell it to me so he gave it to me. I would also say it helps to have a
pocketfull of CCs when dragging this guy around the store, lol. I made out better than I would have at home,
and found things I couldn't necessarily find.

Damn fine haul Brad :tu

[kaisersozei]

Good shopping, Brad! :tu The Dragon's Milk is a damn fine stout, and I really enjoy the Heavy Seas & Great Divide brews. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Brewdog stout--I've seen that around here for like $15/12oz, so I've always passed it up.

[landhoney]

That Nogne O collaboration caught my eye, interested to hear what you think of that one. :tu

[OLS]

hehe, Gerard, I got it free, so the price was awesome! The Beard is a really nice kat. Once he was properly greased
with CCs, I told my sister to grab a few bottles of wine while the iron was hot. ;) Great selection compared to my locals.

And Greg, I didn't eat your ribs, per se. I just knew you'd not be there Thursday, which seemed like my only free day.
Kind of a rain washout as you likely know. Then I found out my Brother-in-law was coming tomorrow, and I re-calculated
the rib count for a fifth mouth.

[OLS]

Seth, whjich beer are you pointing out? I remember seeing the word collaboration while shopping, but I am having
trouble picking it out of a lineup. I can't see that I bought one of what you are talking about, lol.
-edit------
derh, Google....you mean that Pumpkin deallie-0. The Beard said it was a really good pick. All the holiday beers he had
were 15% off, and once we got chummy, lol, he knocked em down to 30%. I am looking forward to that one, he laughed
at me when I said I was not sure about pumpkin beer. He said he assured me it was NOT a pumpkin beer.
Drinking that bad elf brew now....ehh.

Nice haul Mike!

Deschutes Black Butte Porter XXIII is out and I have my first 9. :)

[Bill86]

Got a bottle of the new 2011 Russian Imperial Stout. I heard the belgo was no good? Opinions?

[ashtonlady]

I am testing now, will let you know after test is done.

[ashtonlady]

Ok, the initial test is done. If you like anise then you will be fine with this. If you dont then dont bother buying it.

[Bill86]

That's what I heard, too much anise.....

Shame.

I guess I'll stick with the regular Russian Imperial.

Thanks :tu

What's up with the 4pack? Never seen that before is it related to some strange Texas law or something? It is funny to see some of this stuff on here, as much of it is the cheap beer they carry at the grocery store or 7-11... <G> Love the west coast!

[Bill86]

A lot of higher ABV beers come in 4 packs. It helps with the higher cost beers IMO. Some places don't allow mix and match for some odd reason.

[LostAbbott]

I guess we just have it good here. Never seen a 4 pack and most all of the high abv beer can be purchased in 22s or a 6 pack. There is also a lost of stuff that comes in a half rack for around $14, such as Sierra Nevada and Dechutes...

[OLS]

I really enjoyed the KBS, he was very happy to go upstairs and get it for me, though I assured him I as not a trend-chaser and
did not really need to try it, and as confident I would be trying it at the Shack this summer. It was mighty fine beer. I was not
as happy with the Hopfenwieze, I re-arranged the letters in my mind to hefeweizen and hen I got it home I was thinking, 5hi+,
I don't like beers with proclamations that basically say 'here comes the hops'....too hoppy for me. The actual beer was not terrible.
The Yeti was also a great bottle, really enjoyed that, maybe more than the KBS, lol.

Very curious about the Pitch Black IPA......



Had one of the Pitch Black's last night. I'm not great with describing flavors, but I'll try. I found it kinda roasty and malty. The flavor was closer to a porter or stout (to my palate), yet it's feel wasn't as heavy, with a minimum bite. Definitely a good one, and I'm glad we have more in the fridge. :D

Wish we had NightStalker here in GA, I've heard it's amazing. Awesome haul.

As I said...I love my wife. :D

DT is trending hard in this thread

I havent tried it yet, is it any good?

[OLS]

I had it and it was different enough to be 'good', but not entirely to my taste. A little more fruity than citrusy,
in fact a lot like a cider I had recently with a tomatoey taste. However I am not saying this beer tastes of
tomato. But there is a savoriness to the fruitiness. There are hops flavors there without being 'hoppy',
a little less malty than I prefer. Confused?? You won't be after this week's pint of DTs. Better than most beers,
more expensive, too. I have five left.

Found a six pack of Polygamy Porter at a grocery store in New Orleans today. I tried this several years back when my son and his wife were living about 45 miles north of Salt Lake City. It was a pretty good beer then (had to go on the Air Force base to buy the full strength version). Looking forward to trying it over the weekend with some good cigars.

Nice Haul!

[OLS]

Funny thing about that Gnomegang, I thought from how often it appears here that I would have no trouble finding it at
the great little store in Boone. The guy looked at me like I'd asked for the Hope Diamond or something. He says
"I almost NEVER see that." I was bummed. I think it was one of the few beers that I was really looking forward to trying
out of all the ones I went searching for. I drank a bottle of KBS and loved that, and was thinking of that one and a
couple of others I had seen here. I thought the Gnome was gonna be a piece of cake. NEEE-ope! haha.
And I wouldn't care bit for the fact that their regular brewery products are so good.

[b0rderman]

Gnomegang is a definitely a good beer but I don't think it's anything to go super crazy about. Obviously, it just so happens to be the coolest name/label/scenario for a collab ever...I got a few extra bottles because of this, even after I knew the beer didn't knock my socks off. Good luck in the search, never give up!

I agree. I've had several bottles, and it's still on the shelves here in Florida.

[OLS]

Ahh, a collaboration, eh? (duh, it's on the label, haha). Didn't know that. Nice to know I would not be missing
anything too special. I usually feel like beer is beer anyway, that's why I was so late to this particular party.
I agree about the name-label, lol.

Went to a dinner @ Cigar City Brewing in Tampa last night for the release Marshall Zhukov's Imperial stout. The night consisted of a 5 course Russian dinner paired with different treatments of the Zhukov.
* Monsieur Zhukov's Biere de Stout (second runnings of Zhukov's fermented with a French saison yeast)
* Humidor Imperial Stout (Zhukov's aged on Spanish cedar)
* Hopped Up Johnnie (Zhukov's aged on Johnnie Walker Blue oak and dry-hopped with fresh Florida grown Cascade hops)
* Penultimate Push (Zhukov's aged on Mazzaro's roasted coffee beans)
* Final Push (Zhukov's aged on Kopi Luwak coffee beans)

I managed to come away with 4 bottles of Zhukov and growlers of 4 of the special beers

I got 1/4 of your haul there. :r By the time my buddy got there they were running low and only offering one bottle per person. :r He gave it to me and I just had to laugh, bringing in one twelve ounce bottle. Let me know when you drink one, I may cellar mine (even though I only have one) if you think it'll hold up to it. :r Just a funny situation all around, made me laugh quite a bit, almost worth not getting more.

Oh and standing offer, your Pliny and my cigars, name the time and place! I haven't had Pliny in an age. :dr

They posted on their FB page that they held 100 bottles back and put them on sale today @ noon for people who couldn't make it. :confused:

I hope this isn't the case, but this smells a bit of "build the hype by releasing and incredibly small quantity" so that they run out and people feel like they really 'missed it'. Or "wow, I'm lucky I got the couple I did, next time I'll be there waiting two hours before the event". Only releasing 500 twelve ounce bottles last night, with a four bottle limit, means only 125 people could buy a four pack....which is less than a "normal" six pack you'd typically buy (basically saying that it's not much beer).

In my experience most pumpkin beers tend not to be very hoppy. Im a big fan of the Southern Tier Pumpking if you can find it. Dog Fish Head also makes a good one.

Pumpkin stout? That sounds TASTY!

Yes, it does. Hoping i can find a bottle.

It was a good beer, dry finish which makes it pretty drinkable. This is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective, if you want a big heavy stout this is not your beer - but if you want something that is more 'drinkable' this is a great beer. It's not 'thin' by any means, but it does not have the 'body' of a big Russian Imperial Stout. Hope that helps with someone's decision making. :tu

The Weyerbacher was a 4pk & the Bell's was a 6--needed a good quantity of yeast to harvest :tu besides, it's a great beer.

Also finally picked up some Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzen

I like my pumpkin beers to favor the pumpkin spice flavors, especially nutmeg and vanilla. Pumking is hands down my favorite, Shipyard is shockingly similar, at a much lower price. Buffalo Bills and (not pictured) Post Road are next in line. The Weyerbacher and Schlafly are both a little more toned down on the spice, followed by the Tommyknocker. From past experience I've found Dogfishead and Smuttynose to favor pumpkin over spice, so they usually don't come home with me.

I love October.

Just picked up 3 six packs yesterday Left Hand Milk Stout, Breckenridge Vanilla Porter, and Smuttynose Pumpkin. Had to restock after quite a few of my Sam Adams Harvest collection broke when I opened the bottle.

You find Weyerbacher to be toned down on spice?

Then wtf are my tastebuds smoking? lol

Boulevard Nommo
Boulevard Brett-Saison
Boulevard Sixth Glass


I'd like to know what you think of these. The Smokestack series are some of my favorites.

[Bill86]

The Boulevard Bourbon Barrel Quad was awesome, haven't tried any other. I'd like to know what your thoughts on the Sixth Glass are though.

Sixth Glass is my second favorite behind Tank 7. I'm not good at describing flavors, I just know what I like. It's funny because, I haven't tried a SS series that I don't like. My wife says it's because they're $10-$12 a bottle. :r
My least favorite was the Brett-Saison, still good, as they all are, but there was something about it that I didn't care for as much.

[Matt-N-Ga]

I love this time of year. :banger
