ChainWhip Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I guess this is as good a place to start the fall beer thread as any...Had some delicious Airways Brewing Maylani's Coconut Stout with lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegoz Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Did some very random drinking last night as I try to clear the dying beer fridge. New Belgium Lips of Faith Coconut Curry Hefe was as odd as advertised. Since I'd just had some curry for dinner an hour or so earlier it may not have been the palette surprise it was meant to be. Still ended up drainpouring half of it. Then a delicious Pipeworks Simcoe Ninja IIPA and a good 'nuff Three Floyds Moloko milk stout from last year.

unclebunk Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 We had a few Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stouts last night before turning our attention to whiskey and baseball. Such great beer. What I'd give for a pint of it in a Yorkshire pub sitting next to a roaring fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 It's been awhile since I've had one, so this Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is tasting extra special tonight. :yum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOldKyDram Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Never even heard of that one. How's it differ from the reg Guiness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Never even heard of that one. How's it differ from the reg Guiness?Quite different to me, Sean. It's a tad thicker and heavier in it's body, and definitely sweeter. The big difference for me is that is more in line with the American Craft styled stouts that I've tried. Still a bit if that Guinness bitterness, though. I love the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeti Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Had a Chimay blue with dinner, then came home for a movie with the wife and poured a Petrus aged red (wasn't a fan, cloying cherry sweetness) and Sam Adams Imperial White. Now I'm having a Raging Bitch nightcap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOldKyDram Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Had a Stone Suede Porter last night. It was okay, but so over the top on the floral notes that I probably won't be running out to get another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyOldKyDram Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Barrel aged LH Wake Up Dead. Much better than I remember it. Good roasted coffee, malt, and plenty of bourbon character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPPSmoker Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I dined at Meat BBQ in Lansing, MI last night. They had Bell's Special Double Cream Stout on tap. I couldn't resist. I learned that beer goes exceptionally well with barbeque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeltownbbq Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Just left Fat Heads Brewery's new Taproom at their production facility in Middleburg Heights, OH with a growler of...SHAKEDOWN STOUT 8% abv 67 ibu 16oz $5.25/GrowlerTOGO $15/ Sample $1.50 Jet black in color with a thick creamy head. Piney hops and orange zest are backed by roasted barley, dark chocolate and citrusy hops. “Don’t tell me this stout ain’t got no hops”This might be the perfect beer for me, roasted malt stout, with IPA-like hops. Yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Picked up a growler of Anderson Valley Wild Turkey Bourbon Barrel Stout at Whole Foods, today. Shared it with Troyce, who stopped by this afternoon. Wonderful nose that had a nice roasty malt aroma. Smelled like the Gazebo in Bardstown when Barton is cooking. :Yum: Barrel influence is very evident over the palate. Really good. Now, a bottle of Bell's Best Brown Ale. Beer's good, othe label is well done, and scream's Autumn. So, I had to get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavius Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 It must be getting close to the holidays. Bought my first 12-pack of Sierra Nevada's 2013 Celebration Ale. :yum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBOmarc Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Samuel Smith October Fest on tap at a local bar. I look forward to this every year. One of the better versions of the genre. BTW...It was a costume gig and for you fans of Breaking Bad...I donned my Heisenberg garb and gave out little sacks of blue rock candy, and little vials of sugar ..." a little something to put in your coffee " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Reserve Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I had a Bell's Wheat Love Ale. A high alcohol ale (8%) but it still had that wheat ale aftertaste that I commonly get with wheat ale. I tried it as Bell's flagship wheat ale, Oberon, doesn't give me that aftertaste. The first store I saw it in wanted $5.00/bottle a different store wanted $2.50/bottle with a large supply so I tried a bottle. Glad I didn't get a 6-pack.Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Back to the Sierra Nevada Flipside Red IPA last night while watching baseball. Great stuff but much improved if not consumed straight out of the fridge. My second one, which sat on the counter for fifteen minutes while I drank the first one, was light years better after warming a tiny bit. Improved head, much more pronounced hop bouquet, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdeffe Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I went to a beer festival yesterday and my favourite of the day was a Emelisse White Label 11% Stout that had been on Wild Turkey barrels. This is the best whiskey barreled beer I have ever tasted, the wood, especially the vanillins was very well integrated into the beer. I never heard of Emelisse before yesterday, it's a dutch brewery.Steffen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
