KILZ FILLZ Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think it's because that's the brewing method. Like stone IPA isn't brewed in India but it's still an India pale ale. Also don't know too much about beer. Could be a poor analogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viperface Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Edit: nevermind. Here's what I've had recently These two taste very similar (hoppy) to my lager-oriented taste buds. But I like them. Maybe SNPA is a bit stronger with the hops, but they both stand out from what I've used to drink all my life. Looking forward to bumping into more American (west coast?) ales soon. Rochefort 8 by monks in Belgium. Very dark, smoky and strong. I checked out some reviews online and suppose it's widely appreciated, but I dunno. This one I had didn't taste very fresh, there was this almost cheesy pungent savor I didn't like at all. Would probably go much better with a nice meal or something. There are two other numbers of it which dignify strength I guess. CHRISTIAN PEOPLE Of the dark stuff that I've lately had, this has been the best. A local brand's porter with some international reputation. Strong, very full with lot of stuff going on with different flavors I think. I had it with a warm meal (salmon+potatoes) and it delivered. If you see it and it's affordable, I recommend. Another Finnish porter, but not nearly as tasty as Koff. I think the taste was more flat or pointy or something. I doubt you can find this in the states. Some kind of Czech Pale Lager. I forgot how it tasted because of all the porters around. The usual czech quality I suppose with a wee bit more hops and sophistication than our lagers. Paulaner hefe dunkel. So if you dislike the fresh fruit edge of ordinary weissbier, this might be tastier for you. Still lightly cloudy and full of yeast, but not as easy and drinkable. I still like the normal hefe better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 fort collins z amber lager pretty interesting beer. ive never had anything with a smokey flavor before it comes as a slight after taste but not overpowering to the point of being disgusting it is drinkable but im not sure if i would drink 6 in a row. i like to mix it up. fort collins chocolate stout ok so they are trying this smokey flavor thing again. however its not working here not good. the z is good and you should atleast try it. this is just stale tasting, reminds me of burnt coffee that you left sitting on the machine all day long. id rather have a bell's breakfast stout or dark horse. avoid. fort collins rocky mountain ipa decent. it isnt bad but it doesnt stand out compared to other ipa's. id rather have a two hearted ale or a mojo ipa dogfish head midas touch i havent had this in a long time and i hate 4 packs it has to be awesome for me to get one twice. someone posted this recently and i wanted to get it again this is good beer with well balanced flavors going on. it tastes belgian to me but its not labeled as such if it has high alcohol content however im always a fan. except for the he'brew dogfish head pumpkin i continue to try these pumpkin beers to narrow it down to one. the buffalo bills was tasty but low alcohol, o fallons was better though. this did not really taste like pumpkin imo but fuck who wants squash tasting beer anyways this wins. high alcohol and cool gold caps.

john_gacy Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Heffeweisens can be good if you get the right one. there's plenty of skunky crap out there. Overall one would think the Germans would do it best due to the purity laws, they can't rely on other additives to bring out the taste. There's also a big difference between beer flavored with fruits and the Lambic style, which to me is liquid crack (all fruit taste, sweet, no beer taste). That Major Tom's was ok when I tried it. Funny to see that Buffalo Bills, I was just thinkng of that. I'm thinking they changed the label on it, I had that many years ago now and had htought it was good then, but maybe they've switched it up since then. Been trying a bunch of the pumpkin brews for the season, just had Wolavers (I think), not overly impressed. Having that Imperial Pumpking right now, pretty damn tasty. I mught have to stick w/ this for pumpinn brews this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.crooked Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yeah, that looks awesome. I am always down for coffee stouts. My neighbor brewed a stout recently. He doesn't have an oak barrel to age in, but he did use french oak chips in his mash. It was pretty good. I was surprised at it. Another few months in the bottles and it will be bangin. I have had some new things recently. A lot of Nogne and Mikeller. Even a collaboration brew between the two of them. I'll try and find flix in a bit.

the.crooked Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 take pics indeed. I was supposed to go to a tapping of some stupid rare Belgians at a bar in Berkeley tomorrow. But they changed the tap date. So I dunno when that's happening. Maybe I'll go out to this nice beer bar here in Oakland and rock out tomorrow night. If so, photo's included.

dudebra1 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I had this last night. It was Surprisingly good. A pretty mellow stout and not too much pumpkin or spice at all. I couldn't really taste the spice after the first couple sips. Pretty easy to drink. I would definitely recommend it. Tonight I'm having some Stone Ruination. I love Stone so I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I think I like the idea of a pumpkin stout versus just a regular pumpkin ale. I'll look out for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
