What kind of beer is everyone drinking tonight? (4 Viewers)

[glumpy]

Red Oak

Of course it appealed to me even more since I first encountered it at Rockfish Grill over a dozen oysters on the half shell!! Hit them up at least every other week. It stands well on its own too, and if you're in NC you can now find bottled in some groceries, Lowes Foods being one I know of.

88 is a joke. I'd say 94 at the very least. 8.2% FTW

this makes my nipples stand at attention

 

[Steve Tasker]

Growler of Flying Bison Blackbird Stout

 

[ditka311]

Stone IPA

Lagunitas Imperial Red

haven't tried it yet but I also bought one bottle of Aprihop

 

[ditka311]

Has anyone tried Central Waters Slainte? Worth a try? What say ye?

it's decent. nothing i would seek out again.

The only CW beer I have had is the Bourbon Barrel Stout which was near heaven. How are there other beers? Anything else from them anywhere near the level of Bourbon Barrel Stout?

From the special releases, I think the Peruvian Morning (coffee stout) and BB Barleywine are both very good. If you give the barleywine a year or two it is excellent. Of their regular beers, I think the Mud Puppy Porter is as good as just about any porter out there and the Satin Soltice is a great "drink it now" imperial stout.

Thanks, I will have to keep an eye out for those on my trips to Chicago...CW isn't available in Michigan. How does the Peruvian Morning compare to Founders Breakfast or other coffee stouts? That is my favorite style after IPA.

Its definitely worth trying if you like coffee stouts, but putting it up against Founders Breakfast is almost unfair. I also think Founders regular porter is the best there is, so can't say CW's Mud Puppy would particularly impress anyone who has regular access to Founders. Both are worth checking out though.

I tried New Belgium's Cocoa Mole on Friday night, and it's instantly one of my favorites. Very interesting flavor combinations. If you're familiar with a Mexican mole sauce, that's what it's named after. It's chocolate with a bunch of spices (ancho, guajillo, chipotle, cinnamon), and it all works together very well. I highly recommend trying it. It's quite different from any other beer I've had.

Brewhouse Coffee Stout is good too. Furley bought me a BB IPA once and it was delicious

I'm going to have to try it then. I've been apprehensive about that one. The only Lips Of Faith beers I have liked are the sours. The rest have all been disappointments for me. You're in SD, right? Did you try Ballast's Indra Kunindra?

 

[Ilov80s]

First time having a West Coast IPA from Green Flash...it packs a real punch, an IPA that feels like a DIPA.

that pretty much sums it up their barleywine is among the best out there. the BB Cherry Stout is good as well.

Anybody ever had Dominion Lager Dortmunder-style from Old Dominion Brewing Co, Dover DE?

Color me impressed. Sierra Nevada-like with some chocolate on the finish.

Just had a Hoptimum and Palate Wrecker. Kind of disappointed in both....

 

[jamny]

Lagunitas Maximus...very tasty!

 

[ditka311]

Maybe some Torpedo.

Last week at Three Floyds:

Lord Admiral Nelson - meh

Behemoth - meh (barleywines aren't my thing I guess)

Hells Black Intelligencer -

Got some Alpha King and Zombie Dust to go. Zombie Dust is good but it's a headache in a bottle.

Finally got to try Daisy Cutter. Would put it even with Alpha King which I like more than Zombie Dust.

2010 Dark Lord

Surly Furious and now a Coffee Bender

 

[Ilov80s]

Had a lot of good red wine and a Dragons Milk to finish it off. It tasted better than I remember...I think the restaurant had aged it a year or two .

You take that Dark Lord down all by yourself? How was it? Never had it, but am sitting on an '11.

I did take it down all by myself. Kinda surprised that I wasn't drunker. I had a 2009 that I drank in summer 2010 and held onto the 2010 until last night. We had a 7 year vert (IIRC) last summer at the TBS fest.It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a well-respected, famed "big stout". It's a good beer, for sure.

So you preferred it on the fresher side when you did the vert? Or just really wanted to drink it?

I don't really remember. Some years were better than others, it didn't seem to really have much to do with the ages. I think there was an '11 in there but I don't recall.I didn't really have a reason for drinking it. I've been trying to drink down the beers that I have and whittle down my "cellar", and wanted something nice.

Yes. I've tried Indra Kunindra a couple times. The first time I really didn't like it; it tasted of perfume to me, a bit. But a few other beers tasted off to me that night as well, so I figured that maybe it was me instead of the beer.The second time, the foul taste was gone. It's definitely an interesting beer. Its flavor is more complicated than that of Cocoa Mole — there are more different spices in there — but I still didn't like it nearly as much. It lacked the counterbalancing sweetness, and it lacked any sort of coherent overall theme.

It's definitely unusual; I could understand a lot of people either loving or hating it. (I don't hate it, but I'm closer to hating it than loving it.) Unlike Cocoa Mole, Indra Kunindra seemed like it was trying to be unusual just for the sake of being unusual, and not necessarily because all the flavors in it seemed to go so well together.
