December 7, 200817 yr comment_182060 good god, 14% is high. How sweet is it, if at all? this beer did a great job managing sweetness, the DFH 120 is a tough drink as it is syrupy sweet to me with a thick mouthfeel. This has an normal mouthfeel with a sweetness in line with Russion Imperials. The challenge with high ABV beers is most yeast strains die at higher ABVs. You have to engage is different methods to or find stronger than death yeast to brew beers at higher ABVs. Report

December 11, 200817 yr Author comment_183444 I was not overly impressed by the Stone IPA I had this evening. My first time trying it. I found it bitter and uninspiring. But I was cranky and I don't think it was cold enough. I like the Arrogant Bastard more. Report

December 13, 200817 yr Author comment_184139 The Stone Vertical Epic is excellent. Very dry at first taste, then flowery hops and a burst of malt followed by a clean almost spicy finish. Really very good stuff. Now if I'd only waited until 2012 when I'm supposed to drink it... Report

December 27, 200817 yr comment_188518 One thing to be aware of is the more complex a beer is, the closer to room temperature you'll need to drink it to catch the flavors. Report

How did we do? Dark Erdinger is one of my favourite beers and possibly my favourite bottled beer. Youngs Double Chocolate Stout, I havent seen that for a fair while on the shelves around here. Of late I have been enjoying Report
January 10, 200917 yr Author comment_193405 Slacker, I think you did well, except that the title of the package should be "Exclusive NOT Belgian Ales" as none of those are Belgian. Regardless, I enjoyed many a Zywiec (though not the porter) when I visited Krakow some time ago. Good stuff as I recall. I've seen it at a couple of places in the city. Report

January 14, 200917 yr comment_195023 That Young's stout isn't too shabby either. Mmm, double chocolate, aaarrrggh. Report
January 14, 200917 yr comment_195044 Dogfish Head 60 is one of my favorites. The 75 Dan turned me on to at the Alehouse was excellent as well. The 120 is not one of my favorites. I've been drinking a lot of Stone IPA, Ruination, Arrogant Bastard and Arrogant Bastard Oaked now that it is available locally. All good stuff. I really like the AB. I've also been drinking Sweatwater 420 which is out of GA. This is one that is always available at the Langerado Music Festival. Now if only Bear Republic was available here. The Racer 5 and Hop Head Rye are excellent. I'm a big fan of the Celebrator Double Bock. It's not cheap but worth the price, imo. Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout is another favorite. If you like Celebrator you might like the Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron. Report
