The Real TNL Pub 2009

I've seen it at the store a few times. I figured it was the same shit, just like Harp puts a different label on for St Paddy's.


And I agree with Hubb, Sam Smith's Oatmeal is delicious.

See, I've had the Sam Smiths and I didn't enjoy it. One of those things I guess.

It's not. This beer is completely different. Go out and try it.

Gentlemen, let me preface this by saying that I do not like Guinness. I think it tastes like burnt coffee, and it's horrible. Wretched.

This on the other hand... sweet Jesus. I like it better than New Castle (my go-to beer). I have not seen this in a store, but I've had it at the pub many times. If I had a kegerator of sorts, I would track this down and buy a keg. Possibly even two.

Has anyone else had this truely wonderful beer, the Guinness 250th Anniversary Stout?

I haven't been able to find this during my trips out. I got an email from Guinness a while back around St Patty's Day about have been looking since.

Le Merle.

Very fruity, bright, and summery, with a nice hoppiness to finish things out. I requested it a few months back at my favorite liquor store, and they ordered it for me and called when it was in. I thought that was pretty cool of them.

Yesterday I went to this restaurant that served beer floats. It was a pint of Old Rasputin + salty white chocolate ice cream. It was amazing. I tried recreating it myself just now with Guinness and vanilla ice cream I had in the freezer, but it was only decent. It wasn't nearly as good as the one I had yesterday.

I've always considered a scoop of ice cream in the chocolate stouts, but I've never actually gone through with it.

No offense Tones, but Le Merle is one half-assed saison. Real saison tastes like pussy.

Brooklyn black ops/black choc stout + vanilla ice cream = sex

I picked up a 4 pack of Young's today. I am going to do this and let you know.

I once saw on a cooking show a guy make "beeramisu" with chocolate stout.
