squire Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Westmalle Dubbel with it's refreshing black cherry notes. Lots of people copy the Belgians but they still set the standard. Much to say about this one, all of it good, except the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Shiner is my daily brew. Can't go wrong.To me Shiner Bock is the Evan Williams Black of beers. Always there, dependably good and reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Reserve Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Last night I had a Great Lakes Christmas Ale. My favorite "seasonal" ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Shifting color tones I went with Westmalle Trappist Tripel last night. At 9.5 ABV one has to be mindful that a single equals two regular beers in strength but this liquid gold is fine stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Certain Holidays like Thanksgiving bring out my nostalgia and a back to basics mentality, so I'm sittin' out back watching college football on TV with a Budweiser from the bottle.

squire Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Afflingem Blond Belgian pale ale, which at 6.80% is a bit more than a single and a bit less than a strong. Fits the style, honeyed malt, Belgian spice and mild yet complex yeast. Best of all is the current holiday price of $11.99 a six pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpiz Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Decided to open up a fancy pumpkin beer tonight - 2015 Avery Rumpkin. I probably should have let it sit for a year or two but it is still mighty tasty, even at 18%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may balance out a bit as it ages. I had a chance to try all three last week in my Wednesday tasting. The Barleywine is even sweeter (as expected) and the coffee stout was perhaps a bit less. But I am not a big fan of a heavy coffee stout flavor (or coffee in general) so I only kept the regular stout and barleywine to age a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) I picked up a six pack of Sweetwater Festive Ale this weekend, and opened my third bottle of it tonight. Like the first two, this has a massive hit of black licorice that I don't recall being so pronounced in previous years. I like black licorice, so it's not too troubling for me. But I could see this being off-putting to some. Edited December 9, 2015 by smokinjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 Starting off the weekend a bit early with a Wicked Weed Brewing Tyranny Red IPA. Glad to see WW in Georgia. Visited their brewpub and Funkatorium in Ashville a couple of months ago, and really enjoyed the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunk Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Expedition Stout. Stouts were my first love in the beer dept, but I was never a huge fan of imperials... until now. I'll have to go back and retry that Old Rasputin that Squire and a few others recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Horse Plead the Fifth is another good Michigan imperial stout. I'd put it a notch above the Expedition, even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
