That's one hell of a night. What did you think of the Porter and the Double Cream Stout? I found a very off-putting taste in both and could not even finish the bottle in either case. The Kalamazoo and Two Hearted are excellent though!markaberrant wrote:Last night, it was:

I have always loved the Kalamazoo and fresh Two Hearted. I had never tried the Porter or Double Cream before last night. I thought they were both good in their own right, and the Double Cream is very unique and complex (I got a lot of soy sauce and cherries), but I far prefer the Kalamazoo.TheSevenDuffs wrote:That's one hell of a night.

The Brooklyn 2 was by far the worst beer of the night. I've tried it before, and it is just a really lame dark belgian. My comments on the flavour were "missing in action."

Just finished a Stone Arrogant Bastard and I am about to pour a Pelican Tsunami Stout...
Edit: Finished things off with a Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin. Too much spice in this one for my liking...

Yeah Radek Kliber also mentioned the Local 2 kinda sucked. Local 1 was great IMO.markaberrant wrote:The Brooklyn 2 was by far the worst beer of the night. I've tried it before, and it is just a really lame dark belgian. My comments on the flavour were "missing in action."
That's it for me, not going to buy the Local 2!! (But if I ever see a Black Ops... just maybe. It's bloody expensive because it's slightly rare.)

Karl Strauss Belgian Trippel. At my desk, from a growler brought back from the brewpub. Very reminiscent of Uni LFDM, but even sweeter. I could see this becoming quite cloying beyond a half pint. I like it though, quite aromatic with plenty of yeast derived spiciness.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Last night at the Victory (5oz samples and a few half pints too)
Beau's - Gose, Festivale (Cask) and Sticke
Nickle Brook - Marzen, Maple Porter, Trillium Pale (Cask) Unique Kriek (Cask)
The Gose really was the highlight but the Sticke was a close second and the Trillium and Marzen were very drinkable as well.
