The Creme brulee is really interesting. I've never had the mokah.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Yeah the Creme Brulee was good.... but a little to much vanilla for me.

I drank the Boom Island Yule last night. Poured darker than I thought it would. Had a suttle sour cherry smell and after taste. I will definitly buy it again. Was a good strong, dark and spiced Belgian. Rachael deemed it a cross between hers and my style of beer.

I agree with most of them!

Why does everyone have such a huge boner over Old Rasputin? It's not that great, IMHO

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Its a good quality Russian Imeperial Stout that is relativily inexpensive and easy to get a hold of. Most of the beers on that list were beers you can get all year round and aren't hard to find.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

I agree, it's decent, and available year round for a reasonable price. But some people rave about it like it's the best Russian Imperial out there. It's better quality than most, but it's nothing spectacular.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Damn it rosey now you got me wanting to go find some dark lord...

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

The creme brulee was one of the best beers I've ever had. I love high ABV beers

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

goodhart likes woodchuck and crispin.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Never heard of woodchuck, isn't Crispin a cider?

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Both are ciders.

Re: Fancy Beer!

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Had one of these last night: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/335/5428

Holy shit strong tasting beer. It's aged in bourbon barrels, so it has a wicked strong bourbon taste to it with a hint of vanilla. Was like a Guinness with a shot of bourbon and a teaspoon of vanilla in it. 10% abv though. I don't much like bourbon, so I didn't care much for it.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

I had some Bells Expedition Stout this weekend! It was nicely aged and not nearly as bitter as I was expecting (based on some of the reviews).

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Crispin is decent, but Angry Orchard is the shit! That stuff is awesome. I have been looking for a good cider for almost 20 years, every since I had some in England. Woodchuck is pretty gross.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Angry Orchard has some good different flavors as well. I like strongbow the best.

I was pretty suprised to find some Ovila dubbel tonight, I picked up a couple bottles for the wife. Also picked up some New Belgium Frambozen to try.

Also going to be trading a Darkness for a couple bottles of Goose Island Bourbon County soon!

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

I found a bottle of darkness tonight for 30 dollars... wondering if I should get it? Not really interested in a bottle for that much. Any of you want it?

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

$30 is on the higher end, but still normal. I paid anywhere from $22.50 to $30 for each of the 6 I bought.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Anyone know when Smoke is available?

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

I was also wondering this today. I haven't seen anything from Surly about it or it at the stores.... It says its a November release on their website... I would think its gotta be soon.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

I stopped in to one place and they said their computer showed December but "said" they had no date to give me.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

If anyone is interested in a desert beer, I would recommend Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout. I've been disappointed in the past before by chocolate stouts but this one is what I imagine a chocolate stout should be like.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Had some nitro beer for the first time. I dunno if I like it. It was an IPA, don't remember the name.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

http://www.letspour.com/deals?deal_type=beer

Is that a decent place to buy online? Are there any decent places to buy online?!

-Colin

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Letspour doesn't ship to MN from what I remember. I've ordered from there and had to have it shipped to my folks place in IA.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Surly announced that the Smoke release party is next Monday, so I'm guessing it will hit stores next week.

I drank the Boubon County Stout last night. That was tasty, has a stronger bourbon flavor that others I've had, also had a really nice smooth finish.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Yay!! Last 4 pack at TC craft

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Hahah! Yeah Chok. Stout! Xmas came early when I went past the Craft section!

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

There are two 4 packs at a store by me. I'm thinking about buying one.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Do it! What store is that?

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

Northgate liquors in Blaine.

I already have 2 bottles that I got from Haskell's in North Oaks, and I'm getting a couple more in a week on trade for a Darkness. Not sure I want to spend $21 for another 4.

Re: Fancy Beer!
 

I enjoy drinking these beers and really tired of some people buying them up just to sell them or collect them, it's beer. Drink it.

I have now been in two stores asking about some items, like Darkness, and been grilled about if I was buying or looking to re-sell. Also told by one place they don't allow a waiting list. Only to come back and ask someone else if they had any Darkness in stock and was told they have two, but they are waiting to be picked up from the waiting/hold list. I'm about ready to go back to Busch Light.
