The Beer Thread

[Sebowski]

Has anyone tried any brews by the Bruery?

Picked up a bottle of Mischeif a little while ago, i'm hoping it will pair well with crabs.

I'm a member of their Reserve Society so I have a ton of their stuff. They make some killer beers. Awesome barrel aged beers and sours. They also some make some very average beers. Mischief is probably their best regular offering (their specialty is really their, well, special release stuff.)

I've passed on their beers, because if I remember correctly, the cheapest bomber they had was $30. C'mon man!

You probably run across their anniversary beer. Wax dipped bottle? Fruet? It is worth the $30.

Hmm, you're getting hosed down there, this one was only $10.99, i'll tell you if it was worth it.

Yes, it's $50 here. I mean wtf? Would hate to drop that kind of cash, is it really going to pummel every 12 dollar bomber in the store? Better be a gold coin at the bottom of the bottle!

Bigtime pine hops, with an earthy heartiness to them. Roasted malt and caramel combine as a rock solid background flavor that is instantly apparent and doesn't fade in the finish. Body is on the creamy side for a hoppy beer. 11.5% alcohol content is well-hidden. Still the best beer I've had from Flying Dog.

1) D0uble Dog
2) The Fear
3) Backyard Ale
4) Gonzo
5) Raging *****

Just cracked open a 22 of Stone 16 Anniversary DIPA. The scent is amazing filling up the room

Now that the weather is cooling down... it's time to crack it open.

Oak Aged Gonzo is delicious

DFH 90 Minute IPA

Hop flavor is pine resin, oranges, earthiness, a squeeze of grapefruit, and a weird chemical-like flavor. Try imagining what kiwi extract would taste like. Yeast/dough flavor has a pretty overbearing presence, I'd say stronger than the caramel. Body isn't that thick for a DIPA, carbonation IS strong for a DIPA. Hey, it's an interesting changeup, pretty off-the-wall, not something I'm going to keep buying like I have in the past. I've had better DIPAs.

Milwaukee's Best Ice

Flavor is sterling silver, public bathroom, old water, inside of shoe, with a bit of straw & hay. The sterling silver flavor really stands out when this beer is cold. I know this flavor from nervously holding my awesome $20 necklace in my mouth as a teenager. However, I know old water when I taste it, and this beer is made from old water. Forget oak casks, this stuff is aged in stainless steel before the brewing process even begins. Finish is chewed-pencil all the way. Recommendation: If you only have 10 bucks left after a week in Vegas, place it all on red.

Just got my first 6er of Sam's Winter as well, along with a 4 pack of DFH Palo Santo Marron. That time of year again! Goodbye fall brews!

[Skinz4Life12]

fall brews don't last long enough IMO. winter brews are already here and we will have them for the next 4-5 months.

you only get fall brews for a solid 2 months before the disappear

Completely agree. Pumpkin spiced beer is right around a top 5 style for me. I missed out on the Southern Tier Pumking this year, didn't reserve any. Had to around here. I'll be craving that Schlafly 'til next frickin September.

Bought three bottles of



A porter aged in bourbon barrels with cocoa nibs and orange peel. 6.0% ABV.

One bottle down, two to go.

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

Alright, winter two-fer:

Sam Adams Winter Lager

This is a subtle flavor, even for Sam Adams' standards. Mildly toasted wheat bread with a steady tone of orange peel bitterness. Getting a tuoch of caramel. Description on the bottle says it has cinnamon and ginger, but they are barely even there. A true seasonal session beer, gulp this stuff down. In case of blizzard, buy a case.


(Pre-2011 Winter Lager [one of the best lables ever])

Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron

This flavor is gargantuan. Mixture is in the order of prunes/plums, booze, black coffee, dark chocolate, the palo santo wood, then caramel. It's hard to believe the wood flavor is 5th place on the strength-of-flavor list; it's in your face. Body is medium, real smooth carbonation though. Beer is intense, recommend a 4 pack when temp goes below zero.
