Beers you don't "get".

I've got to also say Two Hearted as well. Hopslam and Chillwave also do nothing for me. Heady was a decent beer, but no where near one of the best I've ever had. KBS and Dark Lord are a bit overrated IMO as far as stouts. Saison DuPont had a real foul taste/aroma to it the first time I had it. I'm pretty sure the bottle was skunked as well.

Also, I have no intention on drinking Devil Dancer anytime in the future. It just wasn't going for me.

 

Warlock is the better of the two and its different because its a mix between a pumpkin and stout. But perhaps this style simply isn't for you. It happens.

 

I haven't tried it, and never will; but that beer made with bovine testicles?

I mean, WTF?

 

Agree with DFH 120-Minute; Citrusinesis is another one that I couldn't bring myself to finish.

 

I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I just like those 8 beers over a season and I'm good.

 

Do you mean Wynkoop Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout? Last July I was in Denver, and I attempted to order that beer (YOLO I guess...), but alas they were out - apparently it's very popular. Who knew?

 

Theres a huge difference between a BBAed beer that has a hint of bourbon or a coffee stout which has a slight coffee flavor at the end, or vanilla for that matter vs this which tastes nothing like a beer in any way. You hear it often because its true.

 

Indra Kunindra - Export Stout (with curry)

Most people I talk to LOVE this beer....I want to gag just thinking about it....it has to be my least favorite stout ever....

 

No lagers in particular really. Ive tried a whole lot of them but they always leave me wanting a Pale Ale or IPA. Not saying that all lagers are inferior to even the worst IPAs and Pale Ales, just a matter of personal preference.

 

SN Torpedo. I'm generally a Sierra Nevada fanboy but Torpedo tastes like there's actually something wrong with it to me (and i've given it repeated tries over the years).

I also can't for the life of me figure out why anybody shells out seven dollars for a 16 oz bottle of Maine Beer Company's Peeper, Mo, or mean old Tom. Not bad beers by any stretch, but I think they'd be a mediocre value at $10 a six pack.

 

Session beers (ipas)

To me, without the significant malt base, it is like eating low fat ice cream. An extra 1-2% in ABV makes a huge difference in flavor from my experience. To each their own. I am not in my early 20s anymore though, so I don't need to drink 15+ beers. I will stick to the 6-7% range.

 

What about BBA beers that are bourbon heavy? Or Coffee heavy beers? What does "beer" taste like? Do Lambics and Horchata Stouts both have this apparently distictive 'beer taste'? People went crazy for NYFRB until it was heavily distrubuted and found out what it actually was. People still say "The 10% and the 19% are amazing though" all the time. Do I hear that often because it's true too?

Beer is trying harder to be food and other beverages than any other drink outside of party girl flavored vodka right now.

 

This. It's not for lack of trying, but I just can't get into bourbon/whiskey/rum barrel aged beers. I can get through one of them but the nuances are lost on me. I very much enjoy a good glass of single malt scotch or bourbon but when I have a barrel aged beer, that's all I taste - hard liquor. It's not what I want in my beer.

Wholeheartedly agree on the wine barrel aged beers though - LOVE them. Probably because my palate has a preference for sour, vinous flavors and the wine really adds a great dimension to a variety of styles, sours especially.

 

Any Jack's Abbey IPL, they just dont do it for me.

 

I love those beers lol

 

Gose

 

Agree with @LambicPentameter. I love barley wines, but when you hop it up to the point where it becomes a sweet and bitter war in your mouth, I just don't get it. I had a 2012 Old Ruffian a few months ago, and the hops still overwhelmed the beer in the end.

 

Duchesse De Bourgogne. I can't get past the vinegar. I love most sours, too. I also can't get behind goses because I'm very perceptive to salt, despite a love for a margarita with salt. Those are really my only beer quirks.

 

Regular Sculpin. And at $15 a six pack I find the love for this beer even more puzzling.

 

That beer does continue changing after 2 years, I had a 2008 within the last six months or so and it was fantastic. I do like it with any amount of age, but the really old one was excellent, the hops were almost gone and a much more English BW/Old Ale style beer was left behind.

Sorry to be a pedant, but barrel aging isn't a 'style', it's a 'treatment'. What styles, when barrel aged, have you disliked?
