Ok, now on to the motherfuckin stouts! First up: (Elysian - The Fix) (Alc. 9.4%) Smells - Deep dark chocolate and coffee notes, with coffee taking the lead. Malty sweetness like sugar in your coffee. And finally, in the distance, a twinge of cracker. Tastes - Pretty much exactly as it smells, except for a faint bitter pinch passing by in the finish. Overall, just lovely. A bit of chest warmth once I got a few sips in, but this is a very tasty brew. Practically a dark chocolate mocha cordial, just not as sweet. I would easily recommend this for anyone who enjoys coffee stouts! And another pic I can share in this forum!
Alrighty, I'm on my last beer now. (Weyerbacher - Sunday Morning Stout) (Alc. 12.7%) Smellin - Bourbon up front, with soft coffee notes in the distant background. Hints of vanilla bridge the divide. Sweet malt fills out the junk in the trunk. Tastin - Bourbon is the heavy hitter here. Coffee in the midground, dark chocolate off in the background. A sheen of vanilla lightly coats the experience. Overall, a sturdy and heavy brew. Tasty and worthy of your time, as long as you take it slow and easy.
I hadn't bothered with this one, simply because bourbon barrels with topless girls are oddly hard to find, as wella s having so many coffee hotties. But give me a minute and I'll see what I can do.
K... I got one of the first results and an obvious result. First, first: Second... well, the second pic I mentioned.
Went to a pretentious rooftop bar tonight, ordered a pretentious drink ...quest ponce cucumber jalapeno saison ..or something Felt kinda like a douche ordering it, the bartender gave me a douchy look and told me to just call it quest lol It wasn't the worst though, I liked it
Lol... glad to hear it didn't taste as douchy as it sounded. Plus, kinda cool to be at a rooftop bar. If for no other reason than the breezes of wind that I'm assuming make their way across the scene, making everyone's hair seem like a Covergirl commercial.
No. Because I fucking passed up the opportunity to have "fresh" Heineken when I went to Amsterdam a while back. I did have McDonald's there and it was awesome, totally perfect everything. Burger? Fucking perfect. Fries? Also, fucking perfect. Everything that should be golden brown, was perfectly so. Juicy, salty, crisp, fresh. But I passed on the beer, because I was there for the Cannabis Cup. And I didn't let a moment go by that I wasn't involved in that. (Oh, and shrooms at one point too.) (And help from local police on how to get back to my hostel when I was lost.)
luckkyyyy. Cannabis cup in Amsterdam seems like it would be an awesome thing to go to. When did you go??
What is pretentious about it? There are beers with much more pretentious names than that. All you had to say was "I'll have the Quest Ponce". Whenever I order a beer with a weird, long name, I just break it down to something as simple as possible.
I will drink Heineken if it's out of a can or on draft. Fuck the bottles and the light damaged skunked beer inside of them. But Heineken is way overpriced. There are much better lagers for the same or better price. It used to be my beer of choice before I got into craft beer, though.
I dunno, it just struck me as comical at the time ...it was the cucumber/jalapeno combo, I think. You and the bartender did not find it funny lol
I just had a blood orange jalapeño beer that was awesome. It was at Rinn duin but no packages or growlers. You can only drink it there.
Yeah I liked the cucumber/jalapeno combo , not knocking it Just makes me think of people like Asmo who make fun of craft beer for using nontraditional flavors like that..or my friend's dad who says all craft beer tastes like grapefruit It can be comical, that's all
