Founder's is great! Others look good. |

Those are all excellent! Haven't tried the KBS Espresso though. Have 2 bombers of Pre Mountie Ban 2017 and a 4 pack of 2018 CBS in the beer fridge. |

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. |

Quoted: https://i.ibb.co/ZRs9vF9/20220325-190517.jpg 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 View Quote Nice! I will have to see if Jungle Jim's carries that in their import section.

Quoted: https://i.ibb.co/CMbhT6p/20220319-193414.jpg 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. View Quote Deschutes is the brewery. Try their Abyss stout(s). Or they've a reserve line with various Roman numerals denoting various versions that might be more to your liking. I like Black Butte; it's not Fuller's Porter, or Sinebrychoff, but other porters don't have to be. You do have to like licorice taste though. Drinking Saint Arnold's Pumpkinator now. It's quite good. Especially at 4 dollars a bomber (thank you Randalls). If you find yourself in Spring, Texas, Excalibur Brewing's stouts are well worth your time |

Found a bonus bottle of Guinness in the fridge. I don’t know how old it was, but it tasted fine.
Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but Old Leghumper is from Ohio and rates an 85 (very good) on beeradvocate.com. |

12 packs of Guinness bottles have been selling around here for $15 something. It's a good staple to keep on hand!

I drank the Zywiec last night watching the Bruins game. Better than expected for $2! About to crack the Boulevard Dark Truth. I have reasonably high expectations for this one. Boulevard is usually pretty good. |

Quoted: I've been drinking stouts and porters for almost 30 years (before that I was a peasant beer drinker). This one is one my absolute favorites: https://www.samuelsmithsbrewery.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/DS8_2594-1-THIN.jpg Samuel Adam's Honey Porter was also a favorite in the 1990s.

(This is like my first non-political non-gun post! Feels, weird...) View Quote Samuel Smiths Organic chocolate beer is the best chocolate beer I’ve tried. Now buy their raspberry beer. Pour some of each in different glasses. Drink sips of each right after one another. |

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.
