Sundog Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Speaking of morning stouts, this one is delicious and helps make good pancake batter. a beautiful stout. just a little sweeter than many.only 4 bottles per 6 pack, though. by the way, near chitown,have you tried bell's expedition, kalamazoo, or double cream stouts? I've had the Expedition Stout before and remember enjoying it very much. Really can't characterize it beyond that however. Bell's also makes a real tasty Cherry Stout. I find it to be a bit inconsistent, but none of it is bad. Not cheap though @ $9.99 for a "sixer" P.S. Actually, back in the day before the microbrew and beer craze, you could buy a true six-pack of Samuel Smiths for $5.99. Those were the days!

sidewinder Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Anyone a fan of Dogfish Head? Reminds me a of a crazy scuba incident from years back, diving under a pier. Buddy diver came up from behind me in murk to my RH side holding a discarded dogfish head and moving it into my peripheral RH field of view. I almost had a fit - looked like a shark inches away from my mask !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrdlu Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I recommend no beer at all. You know what beer is? It's food that's gone bad. But if you want to put it in your body, that's your business. I'm not going to look down on you, as I have no right to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alocispepraluger102 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 a friend who drives a beer truck promises to tomorrow bring me a case of great lakes breweries blackout stout. as good as finding another trane-monk tape. FROM BEER ADVOCATE: Beer Mail this user about their beer review and beer ratings of Great Lakes Blackout Stout Sudsdog ( Belgium, Massachusetts ) overall: 4.25 appearance: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | mouthfeel: 4.5 | drinkability: 5 Again, big thanks to jdciflorio for allowing me this Stout evening! Just finished a Bells Expedition - what a follow up! Great beers from a great guy. Black brew! My snifter is again full of absolutely black brew. This one heads up a lighter shade of tan and sticks around just a bit longer with traces of lacing's left inside. Not quite as viscous a fluid but a tad more sticky, hmmm... Aroma favors coffee first a nice cold black cup, bitter hoppy. Roasted dark malts and grains dark chocolate sweet caramel cocoa, some ripe dark plum a hint of cherry anise, zippy alcohol lightly smokey. Kind of light and lightly sweet at first, black coffee with one sugar cube... chocolate roasted malts fruity raisin cherry. Then, a bite of dry cocoa gently spicy smokey just boozy enough, at least after the Bells, a light and airy RIS. Kind of expect something a bit more massive though still very tasty! This one is going fast... Finish is coffee over chocolate dry, yet has a sugary fruity toffee sweetness. Feels great in the mouth, wonderful balance between carbed and creamy. A very friendly and approachable brew this may be the perfect RIS introduction. This is a very easy drinking brew maybe the most drinkable RIS to cross my path, I can see a few of these disappearing in short order. Same style, 2 very different beers, both wonderful in their own way. I find Blackout Stout to be potentially dangerously drinkable, the 9% abv. just sneaks up on ya. Careful with this one... it's a bit tricky! Would have given it a 4.25 on taste though the lighter body for the style forced a 4.

Yum! Brewed down the road from here but if you buy it botteled local off-licences it's £2 per bottle. Some pubs nearby do it for 50p less than that per pint!

Matthew Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I've been drinking Obsidian Stout lately, and it's very good. Nice dark taste, a good late night listen to jazz beer. It's heavy though, I only drink one at a time. Made out of Oregon. Kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) I've tried this beer. It is called satan beer. I must say, it does taste like hell. My brother brought it over and we opened two bottles. We couldn't even drink half of the bottle, that's how bad it was. What was strange, the bottles had corks. http://www.satanbeer.com/ Edited March 26, 2007 by Hardbopjazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tastes like chocolate milk! I was in Buffalo the weekend of St Paddy's and they had 2 for 1 specials on Irish draft at this pub - Alternative Brews. My bro and I had 8 Guiness drafts between us - tax and tip it came to $18 That would buy 2 here in Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
