What beer are you drinking now? #30

They can always resort to eBay

 

Leinenkugel Lemon Berry Shandy. A little more carbonation and you could convince me that this was soda. Whatever though. I'm really enjoying this now. I'll add this to the list of gateway beers.

 

Water aged in plastic bottles.

2009 vintage. Smooth!

 

Kern River Just Outstanding. I think I'll follow this with my first Ten Fidy of the season and call it a night.

 

Now I am drinking a Old Foghorn. Not too bad!

 

Shuttin the night down with some Narwhal. I love this beer.

 

Started here then:


The only pilsner I have enjoyed aside from My Antonia, SN Beer Camp Imperial Pilsner

And:

Pretty decent Christmas/Winter beer

I also had a Hop Trip in there (no pic) and now I am having:


I wish DFH made more stouts. I think I may either go for the SN Beer Camp Imperial Red or the Clown Shoes Porcine Unidragon. Opposite ends of the taste range but we'll see how I feel.

 

I thought it was really good. And I think it will improve with age, but I am having trouble turning away from it as it is now.

Here's what I wrote:
"Pours a mahogany caramel color with no head. The nose is almost like amaretto and brandy together. Chocolate covered cherries, almonds, maple, pecans, definite booze heat (obviously), caramel, molasses and some slight red grape notes. The taste is very sweet. Maple, almond, oak, cherry, chocolate, booze, pecans, caramel and molasses. It is syrupy, sticky, sweet, very hot. It is definitely a lot different than a beer. It kind of deserves its own classification. It is fermented like beer but it is like drinking a liquor like cognac or brandy. I love it but I don't know if I can call it a favorite beer. Maybe my favorite liqueur..."

 

I'm not sure when/where you received that beer, but we haven't bottled it in about 3 years. Plus, it never really had a long shelf life to being with. I suggest you visit our pub in Bellaire sometime and try it there. I believe it will be going on draft this weekend
