Beer help appreciated... Recommendations?

Brooklyn Dark choclate stout? is that the darker version of the black choc stout that has ZERO choc flaover?

and seriously, if there is a BDCS can i get some to try?

Welcome to the forums!!

ps, id go with Conroe's own Buried Hatchet over Ten fidy any day esp for the price per oz.

pps. If you can get your hands on Santa Fe Brewing's Imperial Java Stout, and if you cant id be amazed, for the price per oz it cannot be beat. 10 bucks for a sixxer, who does that!! lol

again, welcome to the forums!!!

 

I don't consider Buried Hatchet and Ten Fidy to be comparable in style or flavor profile. From the recommendations here, it totally caught me off guard the first time I ordered it and thought the waitress gave me the wrong beer . If price is a concern, I'd definitely go with Old Raspy or Brooklyn BCS (at least in DFW both are as cheap/cheaper than Buried Hatchet).

And now I kinda want a Brooklyn Dark Chocolate Stout. 70/30 Sam Smith's Choc Stout + Brooklyn BCS?

 

Id disagree all day on that. But thats awesome cause we are not the same person with the same tastes!!!

and im with ya, im really wanting a DCS lol

 

You need to look for Pumpkinator and/or Warlock once it is out. Great pumpkin flavors, the wasatch pumpkin is also one of my go to pumpkin beers.

 

Agreed. I have come to the fact i dont love pumpkin beers but i do enjoy them and the wasatch is my top choice (although the whole hog pumpkin is right there too).

 

I've yet to try the Whole Hog, wish it was in Houston!

 

Clown Shoes Vampire Slayer
Left Hand Wake Up Dead (especially the barrel aged version)
Anchor Porter
Sixpoint 3Beans
Dogfish Head Palo Santo

 

Oh, and Southern Tier Pumking is, not ironically at all, the king of the pumpkin ales. My opinion, of course.

 

It that last years Black Chocolate Stout or is this years out already?

 

Got three at home. If your ever in the heights give me a shout and 2 are yours. They are great i just dont get pumpkin beer cravings all the time. Fyi im out of town until wed.

 

HECK YES DUDE! I'd love to try one!

 

Ive done that but I was on Adderall so I went to bed fine but woke up with worst hangover of my life

 

I should try that after my weird shifts end. I wonder what the over/under is on me ending up shirtless and in the street.

 

It's not worth it... trust me.

 

Drinking a 4 pack of Ten Fidy or winding up shirtless in the street?

Its a great beer. I really enjoy it. I will buy appropriate amounts of it. Also it tends to stick around for several months.

 

Whoever said Sante Fe Imperial Java Stout is right on. I can't count how many sixers of that I bought last winter. Such a great beer. Not sure if you guys in DFW ever get Austin Beerworks stuff, but the Sputnik is phenomenal, easily the best local fall/winter seasonal. I'm so glad its gonna be back soon. Real Ale's Coffee Porter is another standout that comes to mind. Ranger Creek OPA is also solid, but again, not sure on distro there. If you come to Austin soon, you can taste the awesomeness that is La Tortuga (barrel-aged baltic porter) from Hops and Grain.
