Candiru Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 ooh good choice, Baph. We get fresh Sculpin here in Massachusetts believe it or not. Beer distribution is weird. Packs a ton of flavor for 5.5% abv and makes a hell of a case that pumpkin beers were meant to be lagers. The toasty, biscuity taste of a lager goes with the pumpkin/spice flavors better than the slight tartness of an ale, I reckon. It does not taste like a brewer's novelty or "experiment". They nailed it. One taste and it all makes perfect sense. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes beer or pumpkins or anything really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremymacgregor87 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Baph that IPA sounds rad. PS the gulden draak quad was amazing, very oily, almost resinous finish though. Booze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremymacgregor87 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I just had one of these passionfruit wheat beers. I bought it thinking it was a lambic but tasting it now it's just a super sweet - not too sour at all - spritzy passionfruit drink. More like appletizer or one of those lame alcohol-free wines-that-your-christian-parents-bring-to-dinner-parties than beer. Not a fan. Also on the go are Gouden Carolus Classic, Chimay Grand Reserve, Weihenstephaner (Kristall and Hef Dunkel), Erdinger Pikantus and Trois Monts speaking of, you all need to try this if you haven't already, super smooth and wheaty, saison-like golden beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneToThirtySix Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Had a red ale and a saison from Bad Weather last night, liked them both. Got drunk as a skunk on three of them, prolly didn't help I started the night with a mixed shot of cinnamon whisky and tequila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calx Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Going to the New Inn beer festival in Cropton at the end if the month, really looking forward to it. http://www.newinncropton.co.uk/thebar.htm Anyone else going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmanyo Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Got this on a whim, hopefully it will help me get homework done (somehow). From the Netherlands. It's pretty good; surprisingly tangy for a stout, but still very heavy on the front end. Very dark, very bitter, very alcohol-ey (11%). Last night my friends and I did a beer tasting for christmas beers. Best ones were Ridgeway Brewing's Insanely Bad Elf and Heavy Seas' Yule Tide. I'd suggest checking out both if you ever get the chance. edit: Terrible aftertaste though. Yuck. Maybe that's because it's an import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest A/D Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Last time I had an Emmelise I forgot my takeout on the train. Good luck with that homework bud. I currently have the pleasure of working in & around Dark Horse Brewery in Michigan. Their beers are excellent. Also, drinking at a brewery taproom has reminded me of the importance of fresh beer. Stouts are creamer, ales crisper. Bit like the difference between a 96kbps mp3 and a flac, namsayin? Too Cream Stout - it's so creamy, but not too heavy and not too sweet. My current favorite. Crooked Tree IPA - Well-balanced, not a hop overkill, with lovely long floral aftertaste. Reserve Special Black Bier Ale - Almost like a blend of the last two. A dark, rich ale with hoppy overtones. Super nice. Tres Blueberry Stout - I love this beer because it smells like a blueberry sploogefest but has a rich, stouty, wheaty flavor that's not too fruity and not too sweet. Scotty Karate Scotch Ale - This one's a smooth killer of a 10% beer with a rich red color. I taste grains mostly but it could be a saison. I'll do more as time allows..but I strongly recommend all these if you can get it! These guys make killer fuckin' beer and they don't mess around.

olo Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 The Bruery's Bois 2013. It's been a week since I had it & I find myself still daydreaming about this one. Expensive shiz, but I'm saving up for it come next May. Looks like an initial Guinness draught pour & opaque apple cider, little lacing & tastes like a small piece of heaven. A lot of different flavors from beginning to end. All of them combine to form liquid love. I'm missing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
