    Drinking a infused Edmund Fitzgerald from dcotom. Really good. I can really taste the bourbon, coffee, and a touch of Vanilla.

    Cracked open a well aged classic

    Tastes very nice. Caramel and faint cherries up front, fig in the middle and that delicate Swiss chocolate on exit with a solid nondescript bitter throughout. Not sure if I have more of these or not, but very glad I at least have this one.


    Still in a peaceful mood that is morphing into something more introspective

    Kids are in bed so it's time to sit back with some liquid gems and soak up some Friday Night College Football. Been hitting the cellar lately cuz I'm getting sick of buying beer and not drinking it. [​IMG]
    This is obviously amazing fresh but a year plus on this has only worked wonders. Smooth would be an understatement. Cheers all.

    Just made it into Portland, OR. Beautiful city, beautiful scenery. The trees and mountains...delightful.

    After we got checked into our hotel, I'm relaxing at the desk with this regional beer :


    [​IMG]


    And my thoughts...

    3.98/5 rDev -2.9%
    look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

    Ahhh. Made it to Portland. Served in a Nonic Pint.

    Appearance : Pours a colossal, bubbly popcorn colored head that fills most of the glass, which leaves great webs and hills of lace behind as it recedes slowly. The body is Chestnut-Mahogany colored and a little bit of light squeezes some cranberry hues out of it. 60% Opaque. Overall a very nice looking beer.

    Smell : Quite a sticky aroma, with sap, caramel, prune, burnt pecan, walnut, roasted malts, a touch of anise and a circumvention of polite hop. A little odd for a brown ale, but a pleasant aroma.

    Taste : It's liberally hopped but not over hopped, if that makes sense. Lots of caramel on the finish, with plum and roast malts in the middle...and just like the nose, it's circumvented (and cut up the middle) by spicy pan-baked hop. Slight alcohol surfaces as the beer warms up and the hop also peeks through quite a bit more, realizing some of the IPA inspiration.

    Feel : Medium bodied in a text-book fashion. Mild (although buzzing) carbonation which this beer could benefit from a little more of. It ends with an alcoholic dryness and a slight stickiness. A slight dock because more carbonation could really knock the feel out of the park.

    Overall : For $2.16 I feel I got a great beer, and although I probably wouldn't purchase again, I won't discourage anybody else from doing so. This was a departure yet still a great representation of the style. I'm assuming "Indian" is where the liberal hop comes in, otherwise it's just an American Brown. Not bad, not bad at all.

    Where'd you get the Three Floyds from? A trade? Or did SD finally start carrying this brand?

    (We've been having some pretty decent distribution pop up lately).
