    First Pumpkin ale of the season(after already having like 5 O-fests lol). Not bad at all, really solid. They went light on the spices so as a result this is really drinkable and not offensive.

    Damn good Schwarz, a very robust 4% beer for sure.

    Starting on this. DAMN GOOD. Val Dieu's Tripel is fantastic, and I am having good impressions from this. I have their blonde in the closet too, so I will complete the trifecta soon. Then I just need the Grand Cru

    Yeah they do. It's printed on the left side of the label in the tan strip. They seem to smudge really easily and I end up having to check the whole 6 pack until I find a legible one. [/quote]

    Thanks! I checked all 5 remaining and cannot make out a single one. Oh well, no biggie, tastes fresh

    Yeah, thinking of making the rounds of Sendiks, Whole Foods, and anywhere else on the East Side tomorrow anyway, have a free day to myself. I know Otto's is selling it on Saturday, hopefully others have it earlier.

    Comparing Central Waters and Ayinger Octoberfests - classic versus American micro upstart. Both are great - the Ayinger is lighter in color and body, but delivers a full malt flavor. I love the carmel flavor of the Central Waters. They need to enter this in the United States Beer Tasting Championship - would like to see how does versus other midwest O'Fests - Capital, Lakefront, Great Lakes, etc.

    Nice! I'm hoping to go, but not sure if it'll work out yet. If all goes to plan, Capt. Lawrence & Peekskill this weekend, Alchemist / Lawson's / HF next.

    I honestly cannot wait for their Tripel now, after that performance last week. Fricking delicious and very complex. I want to see what my favorite style yields in their bottles with bugs in it. Cheers!

    This bottle had it printed in white on the front... The white oak I had had the same white printing, but it was on the back of the label.

    For tonight. Not bad...but not worth the $10 price of admission. It will suffice in quenching my craving for some puckering.

    I would drink an entire six pack before I had to choke down a Pumpkinhead. God pumpkinhead if people keep buying it then they are just going to keep making it...

    I've seen them like that as well. All the bottles at my total wine had the black printing the last time I was there, and they go through a lot of jai alai. They must have changed their dating procedure for the most recent batch.

    ISO: time travel to go to that show.

    I passed up a chance to see him in Chicago last December :confused:. I definitely will not make that mistake next time.
