Sorry, but have to review this considering it's $4.50 per can normal price point. And at that price, epic fail.

One noted roastiness. Nice mouthfeel, good taste, but, again, one note.

At that price point I can't help but compare it to the GI Nightstalker, and the Nightstalker is much, much better.

Their Coffee Stout is Amazing and their Dry Hopped APA is also very tasty.
Oh... The Oatmeal Stout is also a must try.
They also have a damned good Imperial Stout.

If I hit Binnys next week I can see if they have any left, along with the other beer I was going to look for if you like.

[Jbailey]

I think I got enough.

Plus there a couple of spots I hit that are restocked now. :D

Try to find the GI Bourbon Coffee Stout! Even smaller production and from I heard even better!! I'll have to crack a bottle open soon.

Didn't see it last time I was there, so if it was released some time ago it might already be gone...but I will check for sure.

[Jbailey]

It looks like the Bourbon County but with a red label instead of the black one.

If you can't find any let me know I think I can find a bottle somewhere. ;)

[BlackDog]

Drinking a Unibroue/Trader Joe's 2009 Vintage. I think this is my 3rd bottle, but I'm still not sure that I "get" this beer. It's got this raisin/plum thing going on, and also a lemon/citrus thing going on, and I'm not sure that the two types get along very well on my tongue. But I bought 6 bottles, so I hope I figure it out and enjoy at least one of them.

[MikeyC]

I had a bottle of the new Sam Adams Latitude 48 IPA last night. If you open this bottle thinking you're going to get something along the lines of Dogfish 60 min, Stone IPA, Racer 5, etc, etc you're going to be sorely dissapointed. This IPA is a little something different.

It's kind of a blend of the British and the American version of IPA. It's got European hops, British hops, and American hops which gives it a unique flavor among IPAs in America or really anywhere. Frankly, I think this beer could use a little more body and more malt sweetness, but overall I thought this was an enjoyable beer.

[Darrell]

It's getting warmer and while I love Stouts, Porters, etc.

When it's 90+ degrees outside it's hard to beat a Stella in my frozen Giants cup.

[Jbailey]

Tried the Dogfish Head rasin beer which was pretty damn tasty!

Trying another Ale Asylum Bedlam which is a Trappist IPA. Enjoying this beer a lot. It's a smaller release and I think next week I might have to grab 2-3 six packs!

Was that the Raison d'Etra or did you get ahold of some Raison d'Extra? I know there's still some of the Extra floating around.

[Wolfgang]

I dont like really cold beer, does this mean Im odd?

More often than not I open and pour a beer then let it set for 10-15 mins. My dad regularly says " are you going to drink that or just stare at it?"

[Scimmia]

Not odd at all, I do it with most beers out of the regular refridgerator.

Raison D'Etre

[duckmanco]

SN torpedo extra IPA - not a bad IPA at all, especially for a year round release, but it ain't all that outstanding either. I'm probably moving on after this 6'er.

If beer is too cold it numbs your tastebuds, hiding all the flavor. That's why with cheap shitty beer people are like "It's so good, it just has to be ice cold." No, it's shitty, which is why it has to be ice cold.

My fridge is about 38*F. I typically pour into a glass, and sip on a beer slowly, to see how it changes from cold to cool (55*F or so). Some beers I will let warm up a little before I pour it.


I got an Avery Maharajah tonight. Good stuff.

2nd: Goose Island Bourbon County Coffee Stout. Holy Hell!!! This is an amazing beer!! This is much better than the regular BC. I still got 8 more bottles and that's not enough! It had amazing flavor light on the bourbon the nose of the coffee is heavenly and was tasting caramel, chocolate, and peanut butter here and there. I can't stop raving about this beer.

Sounds like a great lineup Jimmie.

[St. Lou Stu]

Picked up a 4-pack of Left Hand Imperial Stout.

When I poured it, I was afraid that it would be similar to Samuel Smith's. It had the same look and smell. And was lacking in head, just like Sam Smith.
Boy was I wrong!
This has to be in my top 20 now. Chocolate, caramel, molasses, and a hint of coffee all in good proportion.

Samuel Smith was the first Imperial I tried. Haven't had one since. Imperial's sound like like something I would like, Sam Smith, not so much. Now that I know It's not just me, I'll pick up some Left Hand and Ol' Raspy to try :tu

Right now: Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale.

I love me some Old Raspy. Never had Left Hand's Imperial Stout, but their "Fade to Black" stout is awesome. Really one of the best I've ever had.

I'm drinking Deschutes Black Butte porter.

+1 on Fade to Black. :=: Althought it's won all kinds of awards, I don't really care for their milk stout, but Fade to Black is awesome. I may have to try the Imperial. They also bottle an oak aged Imperial Stout, but I've never seen it in my area.

I picked up a four pack tonight. When I got home I noticed the bottled on date was 10-24-07. With much trepidation I chilled a bottle and poured it into a snifter. I was expecting it to be past it prime but it turned out to be fantastic!

Bottled on date.... huh, I gotta go check mine now. I still have one bottle left.

Last night I had a couple of American IPAs from Schlafly while I was eating dinner at the Bottleworks.

WOW!! That has to be one of the best, well hopped IPAs I've ever had!Aroma, flavor, and bitterness were all spot on.
I got a growler to go!

Lagunitas IPA

Yardwork then Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shutdown Ale.

[kaisersozei]

A little story about the beer I had last night: back in the mid-90's, I found the ale that set me on the path to becoming a Hophead. The Old Dominion Brewing company in Ashburn, VA, released Tupper's Hop Pocket Ale and it quickly became one of my favorite beers. We lived up in Northern Virginia at the time, so it was easy enough to find. I also tried to concoct numerous clone recipes that I happily brewed myself. A few years later, the brewmaster at Old Dominion left for Victory Brewing and Tupper's never really tasted the same. Old Dominion eventually stopped brewing it, and the brewery went defunct. But I still remember that beer as one of my first "true loves" :al :r

Imagine my surprise when, yesterday, I'm wandering through Whole Foods and saw an entire Tupper's display! The beer is now brewed by St. George Brewing Company in Hampton, VA, and follows the original recipe. I picked up a 4 pack for $8, and cracked open a bottle last night:

Great stuff, just about how I remember it. Well balanced pale ale, not quite in the IPA range, more like a hoppy amber. But still very complex and tasty!

[BigFrank]

First Sam Adams Summer Ale. Taste a little bit different from what I remember last year.

[Blindjimme]

Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale

First Sam Adams Summer Ale. Taste a little bit different from what I remember last year.

I hate Sam Adams Summer ale. I don't know why, but it was really bad. There are many other summer beers I would go for over this.

Do you like this years better than last years? I don't think I had one from last year.

[Blindjimme]

:tpd: And I know why. Tastes more like a cider or pumpkin concoction than a beer.


"Grains of Paradise" does have a nice ring to it though :tu

Yep. Thats what I got from it. Kinda sour, and just didn't taste right for me. I think its the worst Sam Adams out there.

I have been looking for Old Dominion Oak Barrel Stout everywhere, I loved that stuff. If they went defunct that explains why no one has it.


Last night I started with Oskar Blues Gubna then finished with Dogfish Head 90

I LOVE the Ten-Fidy (imperial stout) and the Old Chub Scotch Ale ranks right up there with Founder's Dirty Bastard IMHO (which I'm drinking now). The Gubna is a fantastic DIPA. I'd say try them all. I haven't tries the Pale Ale or the Gordon Ale but I plan to soon.

Brewed to celebrate Ben's 300th birthday.

Whether Ben Franklin ever said, "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy" is up for debate. Some say he said it, others say he didn't. No one knows for sure.

Historical facts or fictions aside, Yards Brewing Company has recreated Poor Richard's Tavern Spruce Ale™ to celebrate Franklin's affinity for fine ales. Poor Richard's Tavern Spruce Ale is based on Franklin's original recipe, which called for spruce essence and molasses, as barley and hops were not readily available at the time.

Enjoy a taste of history courtesy of Yards Brewing Company, Philadelphia's premier brewer and bottler.

ABV 5.0%

The latest one I had was a New Belgium Ranger IPA. Being that NB hasn't had an IPA ever to my knowledge before this one I'm really quite impressed. It's no Hercules DIPA, but it's damn good.
