 I think the alcohol content on this was about 5.5%. Very hoppy to the extent that it was in the nose and the roasted malt was just about extinguished. Same with flavor, hopps overpowered the taste. I think the roasted malt was very good but too hard to separate it from the hopps. The body was watery. Great head though. I won't be buying this one again but may try another type from Black Butte. |

Had a great new (to me) stout last night at Alamo Drafthouse, but when I checked their website to remember the name, they still have an old menu up that doesn't show it.
So... still don't know what I drank. It was good, though. |

 In honor of the great nation of Poland for helping Ukraine, I am drinking: Zywiec Baltic Porter, 9.5%, - nice smoky malt - light hops, very slight bitter aftertaste - clean finish, lightly carbonated - no strong alcohol taste - light carmel nose I can drink this! Goes great with oysters. @Ryan_Ruck |

 Helped my older son put a new fuel pump in his 1984 Corvette so I had a treat (and it hit 75 degrees today!). DuClaw Brewing Company For Pete's Sake Imperial Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter - 9% - smooth - nice head - creamy - chocolate porter taste with roasted (not burned) malt - nose was chocolate Porter (not real strong) - slight bitter hopps finish (I dislike hopps) -very mild peanut butter finish (not strong enough) Great beer and I would buy it again. Alcohol a bit high for my liking but didn't taste like it. |

So, here goes: Southern Tier Brewing Company 2X Milk Stout Double Milk Stout - 7.5% alcohol - decent head - hoppy nose - carbonation: big bubbles - smooth but watery (not a milk stout in my opinion) - big bitter hopps aftertaste (I HATE HOPPS) - malt taste hard to spot But, it went okay with smoked clams. @Ryan_Ruck |

Thanks for the thread and inspiration to get a little loopy this evening! Wisconsin guy living in Minnesota… Central Waters is the end-all be-all when it comes to barrel beers. If you’ve had their anniversary stout, you know. 20-24 currently on hand with some other fun ones (black gold, double barrel and maple/coffee maple stout) on hand. Surly Darkness is also phenomenal.

Quote HistoryThe Maui Coconut Porter is my favorite beer and has been for a number of years. I will say it seems better out of the tap than the can though. This White Mountain is a close second, but I don't think it's available outside of Hawaii. Might even be only on Big Island.
