[kaini]

it is extremely nice.

lol Dan the Automator beer?

DFH so craycray

 

I was skeptical as hell myself. the beer proved a very, very wise purchase.

[kaini]

absolutely delicious

 

also one of these, which i'm saving for later. i suspect it will leave me the worse for wear.

 

In the name of God I want to taste this!!!

 

 

if you can get this stuff, get this stuff.

Had a few of these yesterday while brewing up an IPA, very delicious. It actually just won a bronze medal at GABF over the weekend. It's from Free State Brewery, based in my home town, Lawrence, KS and was the first legal post-prohibition brewery in the state.

gonna get more of that russian imperial stout tonight, i think. it was so delicious that i've had cravings for it since i've had it.

[baph]

I would drink RIS every week if I could do so without gaining 20 pounds.

[kaini]

gah, they only had one bottle of the imperial left, so i grabbed a couple of guinness foreign extras (the 7.something% stuff) to complement it.

Currently having a Buffalo Sweat stout infused with strawberry and cocoa from a firkin that I had the honor of tapping!

There was a new beer in my local Fullers pub last night. I took a coloured still image of it and had myself plenty.

 

 

It was really fruity and very tasty.

[SR4]

someone here posted the Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout a while back...

 

 

that shit has to be the best beer ive had in years...its automatically up there in my top 3 all-timers. good god that is delicious.

[Guest uptown devil]

sounds awesome, southern tier does dark beer right. I'll keep an eye for that one when I visit NY for thanksgiving.

[encey]

Me too, love Southern Tier ... & can't wait to drink some Pumking!!

 

Edit: Pooping as I type :sup:

[ghOsty]

Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin >>>>> Pumking ... seriously though

Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale!

[Guest theSun]

creme brulee is kind of tough for me to drink after the first glass. i'm even ok with a half glass of that stuff, it just starts to be too much with that stuff...

 

southern tier makes some of the best beers evar though, i even know a guy who knows a guy who is a high-up in the company, so you might say i'm "in the know"

[SR4]

ask him if they are going to ever bring back the unfiltered banana hefeweizen...cant remember its name....amazing summer brew.

[kaini]

i find some hefeweizens to have banana flavour-undertones anyway... that sounds interesting.

[baph]

it's dem esters, innit

 

I think I prefer Hefeweizens with a more phenolic/clovey character. Had a hefe a few years back that was so overpowering on the banana that I've kind of been turned off on the style since. I can't remember which brewery it was from, so they're all kind of suspect until I build up sufficient courage.

Yeah, esters thrown off by the yeast create the banana/clove character. You can actually control the flavors via fermentation temperature. The particular strain of yeast I use for my hefeweizens puts off more clove at lower temperatures and more banana at higher temps. My gf loves the banana flavors so I don't even bother trying to control the fermentation temperature. I actually do a hefeweizen spiced w/ corriander, orange peel, and thyme that has had good reviews from my homebrew club. I'll probably submit it to a competition eventually, just have to time it properly so I can send it off as fresh as possible.

[kaini]

i'm actually getting a fair bit of banana off this brooklyn IPA too.
