I just tried this last night. I was none too impressed until it had a chance to warm up and breathe a bit. Not bad, but I prefer Brooklyn's Black Chocolate Stout.Quote:

The Red Hook ESB is a very tasty, drinkable beer and it's usually what I drink at the Devils games.
I'm starting to like ESBs over IPAs but not as many people make them.
I went to Father's Office for lunch. They are famous for their burgers, and it didn't disappoint. I also grabbed an Old Rasputin (on tap) thanks to the recommendation in this thread. It didn't disappoint either. I had a pretty fucking awesome lunch today.
Chimay red. More like cider than beer.
see also: fancy dinner party.
Not too expensive. You'd be surprised at how much price gouging liquor stores and bars do with craft beer. No wonder it's taken so long to become popular. But yeah come down here all of you now pls.Quote:

Had Old Peculiar a few weeks ago, and it was fantastic.
Also I do love Three Philosophers as well.
Had some Goose Island Christmas Ale that was pretty good, not bad though I expect higher from a seasonal ale. We also had this Nut Brown Ale which was by far, the worst beer I've ever had.
I picked up some Rogue's Santa's Private Reserve, I enjoyed their dead guy ale so I figured I'd give this a shot
My dad picked up a beer that was recommended by a football site we use, my dad said this is the first time the guy has given a beer a 5/5

This Week's Six-Pack: Celebrator Dopplebock
Price: $10.99 (four-pack)
Origin: Ayinger Brewery, Germany
Appearance: The first thing you’ll notice about Celebrator Dopplebock is that it comes with a plastic trinket in the shape of a ram around the neck of each bottle. The little plastic tokens didn’t do anything for me, but my two little girls loved them. The label, affixed to an 11.2 oz. brown longneck, features two rams hoisting a glass of beer. The brew pours to a rich, almost inky black color with faint ruby highlights. It’s nearly opaque. The head, which is tan in color, is substantial with fair staying power.
Smell: The smell is dominated toasted malt backed by molasses, brown sugar and hints of raisins.
Taste: Celebrator is rich, robust and delicious—and it gets better as the temperature warms a bit. Roasted malt flavors are bold and in your face. The roasted qualities give way to a complex interwoven pattern of molasses, bread and nuts. The aftertaste shares some similarities with the roasted bitterness of coffee. Brilliant complexity.
Drinkability: The label indicates Celebrator is 6.7% ABV, which is right for this style. It’s nice that you don’t notice the alcohol on the palette (although you will notice its potency later). The beer has a luxurious, comforting quality to it that plays well with the winter weather.
