Late Night BeerAdvocate - Saturday 3/10/12

and onto something truly unique...

2011 Kuhnhenn Braggot

​

 

Just cracked open a 2010 Founders Nemesis. Wow! Absolutely amazing! I never thought I liked Barleywines until now. Amazing beer!

 

Started off with a Maine Beer Co. MO, which was very hoppy and tasty. Just now finishing a Bannatyne's Scotch Ale from Cambridge Brewing, which is a great take on the style. Cheers!

 

Hill Farmstead Edward... Maybe a Nugget Nectar or two before bed.

 

Peruvian Morning.

 

Cracked open a DFH Punkin Ale I got in a trade. It's a little old, but still very good.

 

America's two best breweries represented in one picture.

 

Had a Sam Adams Griffen's Bow

 

FFF Brian Boru and Sixpoint Resin - enjoying both greatly.

 

Just finished 2009 BCBS bomber. Just AMAZING!!!!!

 

Found a homebrew that I made several months ago. It is an American wheat with amarillo hops. It held up better than a thought and even had some head retention. My Gumballhead was better than last night, but this one made me smile.

 

Working on an HSA. Haven't had one in a while. Very different from what I've been drinking lately. I'll probably follow up with a Hopslam.

 

Had that guy off tap at Great Taste of the Midwest last year. What do you think of it?

 

Drinking this for the first time. I don't know what took me so long.

 

Gonna try the new stone collab, TBA and then maybe Trois Pistoles/Ruthless Rye/West Coast IPA. Gotta drink all this beer before the week before finals week so I don't get tempted and I can study well.

 

I had this early on in my Beer Geek Days about six months ago(early I know) and didn't think much of it. My buddy is drinking it tonight and said the same thing without any influence(at least from me), what do you think? I plan on having a strictly Unibroue night in the next few months to confirm my suspicions but I'm curious as to what you have to say.

 

Drinking Schneider Weisse. Listening to Soundgarden - Superunknown



I know I'm headed for the bottom
But I'm riding you all the way

 

Arrogant Bastard leading into Torpedo. Both around a buck a bottle at my local LS, just can't beat that.

 

Here's my review.

If you've tried enough tripels, it's pretty hard not to see the merits of it. It hit all the quintessential flavors for me, and very assertively and smoothly. Do you not like the tripel style (or Belgian strong pales in general), or did you think it was a poor example of a tripel? I thought it was incredibly good.

 

I remember the HSA being pretty good but I'm pretty sure that was the same night I had 2 Car Bombs. Few questions, A. Where are you getting Hopslam(if not a trade) and B. Do you usually drink American Double's?
C. You are super close to Ebeneezer's, ever been?
