sengjc Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Juan Lopez Seleccion No. 2 with some Innis & Gunn Original Oak Aged Beer.
earthson Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Duvel! Sold my soul to the most balanced beer I've ever had - great consistency year-to-year, too
bacalao Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Anyone try this yet? Big stout fan but never had it before.
Mr.T Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 A very nice Scotch Ale from Oscar Blues Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Mr.T Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 A very nice and different coffee ale tonight. Can taste the rich coffee beans with a fruit/sweet profile. A RASS would go well with this one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

olotti Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 The Left Hand Milk stout is a really nice creamy stout especially the nitro bottles. Tonight I dove deep into two Oskar Blues, a GNight Imperial Red at 8.7abv and a Deviant Dales IPA at 8% abv. The GNight def tasted more boozy than the IPA which was really smooth, very well balanced and hid the alcohol very well, but bothe very tasty love Oskar Blues.

Founders has a Backwoods Bastard that is Dirty Bastard aged in bourbon barrels, missed the bottles this year but I've had it on tap at Founders and it is awesome.
kevinfj Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 So this is my second bottle of Bell's Hopslam. Just wanted to share some thoughts. Let me set the scene. Day: Rainy day in New England Music: Sgt Peppers TV: Valero Texas Open on mute Cigar: see below When I received this I thought it was just going to be another boozy (10% ABV) American IPA. I was wrong. It pours a beautiful golden/copper color. The aroma is floral, citrus and sweet. The mouthfeel is silky. The taste is smooth with wonderful hop bitterness complimented by sweet malt and honey. All of which hide the high alcohol content. What a combination! As an avid home brewer and beer drinker, I tend to classify beer into categories. Some are bad. Some are good. And some are so good (Pliney, Heady Topper, anything from Hill Farmstead, Kate the Great) that they defy comparison and even description. This beer is close to that category.............
bradbrennan Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Grand Teton Pursuit of Hoppiness...I think Bell's Two Hearted Ale is next!
bradbrennan Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Bell's growler to go...my daughters worried I'll be late to pick her up at the airport, and I assured her I'd be stone cold sober!
kevinfj Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 Home brew Belgian Double. Chimay Red on steroids.......
BBS Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Living here in the PacNW there's about any beer you'd want to drink available....we are very fortunate in that respect. Lately I've been going through growlers from a micro brewery that at is turns out, is about three miles from my house...!! http://heathenbrewing.com/ Their web page has five beers listed, but Friday when I stopped by they had a dozen plus on tap. Transcend and Son Of Malice IPA's are very, very tasty.....
olotti Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Bells Oberon to start of the Spring. Finally hit a nice sunny warm (53 deg) here in Michigan. Prob my go to beer during the warm months.
