Sexual Chocolate-Foothills Brewing A grand slam brew or hitting for the cycle. This imperial stout has become somewhat legendary in its several year existence and the pint yesterday afternoon at Tyler's Taproom prior to the NCSU game lived up to its reputation and more. The pour is nearly black and...

Russian River Pliny the Elder--Very excited to give this a try as my first Russian River beer..Nice plain 500ml bottle. Pours a pale amber with a thin but frothy head. Fairly thick in body with an initial taste like biting into a grapefruit. Some slightly sweet light malts but they are really an aft...

Fish Tale Organic Amber Ale-Fish Brewing New brew from my drug rep. Think Fat Tire again with a bit or earthiness and more of a whole wheat toast taste instead of a lightly baked croissant. IBU about 30 and an ABV about 5%. Good with sammiches, burgers or mild sausages off the grill I think Fat Tir...

They were calling this Snowpocalypse and Snowmageddon. They predicted that for us too but it didn't even come close. We were supposed to get 30cm by 9am and then, after a brief break, we were supposed to get more snow throughout the afternoon to a total of somewhere between 30cm-40cm by the time th...

Today was SA Latitude 48 six pack and SN Torpedo six pack day. It was a hop head afternoon. I should have drank both 6 packs...I'd be feeling better. I don't like St. John's. I haven't tried the Lattitude 48 but I love Torpedo... I went to the game yesterday and after the depressing drive from NY t...

Ruh-roh, bluebeer is on line and there are no new beer posts except mine from yesterday regarding the Duck-Rabbit brew from Tuesday evening. I've been slacking on trying some new beers though I did grab a few new ones today so reviews to follow...Yesterday, after shoveling out the 18 or so inches t...

I've only seen the regular up here :( Glad you askied. Finished it last PM, so: Bourbon Barrel Below Decks-Clipper City Awesome. I sipped about 1/...

Any word about them?

I think I've seen a few bombers of their stuff up here in MA recently too..would be interested in any reviews as I've held off buying so far...

Yo, CB&B-ya gotta find some of this stuff on your next trip to Blacksburg: http://www.21st-amendment.com/beer/monks-blood Check out the special ingredients. =p~ Tried some of this last year and it was a pretty nice Belgian strong dark..I haven't seen any of it this year though I did pick up some of...

World Wide Stout-2007 vintage-DFH Another amazing concoction. This was our final 4 ounce sampling last PM and put Lavabe out for the count (in fact, it's about 10 AM in the DD household and Lavabe is STILL out :)) =)) ) and son of DD finished the remaining 2 ounces or so of his allotment. Black as ...

So sorry to hear about this but glad to hear that everyone is ok..hope they nab the jerk..

Adoration-Ommegang I'd love to taste this brew but, at $14 ( :(( ) for the 750 ml bottle yesterday, I decided to pass. :(( Ommegang announces our first Strong Winter Ale, named Adoration, becoming available from mid-October through December, all across the US. Ommegang Adoration, brewed in the auth...

Couple of Christmas brews on the horizon: Bad Elf and Criminally Bad Elf (great names). CB&B will be getting 1 of each of these next week as he passes gas, err, passes through Raleigh next week. I have never had either brew. Never had either of these either--looking forward to reading the reviews..
