CB&B and I have an unofficial price limit of about $10 when we trade/buy for each other. A couple Abita bombers can be had for about $5 and we have found the newly available Pike bombers to be $4 and $5. They're a "steal." Most of the stuff we share/trade/sell is in the $7-$10 range and we're prett...

Ommegang Cup o Kyndness--Ommegang's newest special brew this year..a belgian scotch ale. Pours a nice red brown with a foamy head. Fairly complicated tasting brew that comes together nicely. Big sweet caramel malts with some typical scotch ale smokiness. The belgian notes are there as well with bre...

Dogfish Head Namaste. I hadn't even heard of this beer before seeing a few bottles on the shelf of my local store. Apparently, the beer was created in support of a Belgian brewer that lost much of their brewery to a fire. One of their big 750ml bottles which I tend to pass on..A witbier with coriand...

Fat Dog-Stoudt's It cooled down a bit last PM so what better way to greet a less hot (not cool yet) fall night than with an imperial stout. This is an opaque, deep brown brew rich with coffee and dark chocolate flavors. Oatmeal is added to the barley to give this a very smooth, silky mouth feel whi...

Given the 12% ABV, that would probably be the best approach..especially during the work week ;)

Founders Nemesis 2010..The 2nd year in the series from Founders. Last year was a wheatwine aged in maple barrels..This years its a big barleywine. Pours a thick dark brown with no head. Taste is roasted malts with lots and lots of chocolate and coffee. There is a decent hop bite typical of a west c...

I think that's exactly what it stands for..it's a very good brew..

I bought the SA fall sampler tonight. 2 each of 6 beers, including the Harvest Pumpkin Ale...which I'm drinking now and is really, really good. In fact, this is now one of my favorite pumpkin ales I've had. The other will be in DD's trader. The other offerings are Boston Lager. (-| Black Lager (loo...

Big A IPA-Smuttynose Brewing Fooled my a$$. HA! I'd never seen this one before, it's sold in 4 packs for $10...I don't mind that price given that the brew is worth it. I've saved one myself for reviewing, but I doubt I'll have much to add except "I agree". It used to be part of their "big beer" ser...

Cottonwood Pumpkin Ale-carolina Brewing Company (WTH it's doing in Wilkes-Barre is beyond me) 1st fall seasonal and it tastes like a slice of Grandma's pumpkin pie made with a lot of whipped cream on the top. There is ginger, cinnamon and allspice here with very mild pumpkin flavor. Medium brown in...

Congrats on the great news!!

Thanks again to all for the great vibes..No definitive results so far but we talked briefly to the radiologist after the ultrasound and her initial assessment was that the nodes were enlarged but looked ok..She wanted to look more closely before following up with the pediatrician but that did make u...

thanks so much for all the great vibes and prayers..the ultrasound is this morning so hopefully we'll find out the results of that and the basic blood work from yesterday quickly..thanks again to all

I don't post much beyond the beer thread but am a regular lurker on other threads and would greatly appreciate any vibes that can be offered. Our 2 year old has an abnormal lymph node that needs further evaluation. He had some blood work done today and is having an ultrasound tomorrow. I'm generally...

Dogfish Head Bitches Brew--An imperial stout brewed with honey and gesho root. Pours black from capped 750ml bottle..A thick creamy head that took a while to dissipate. Lots of chocolate and coffee with some more roasted notes. Any bitterness is offset by a fairly strong and sweet honey taste. A bit...

Now in stores (and cellars :D =p~ ) near you: http://www.sierra30.com/#/jack-and-ken-s-ale I have two of them, as a matter of fact. :whistle: :whistle: nice move grabbing 2 of them..I split a 750ml with a friend a week back or so and it was definitely my favorite of the 3 released to date..a very d...

The 2010 edition of Samuel Adams Octoberfest is now on the store shelves, my fridge, my gastro-intestinal tract. Crisp, dry, refreshing, malty, 5.8% ABV. MMmmmm One of my favorite fall sights in the beer store..I grabbed a six pack of it last week though was intentionally waiting until after labor ...

Review of Bitches' Brew Outstanding. I would have probably never found that. Now, if you can find a couple 750 ml bottles of Bitches Brew, buy them. One for yourself and one for me. I'll get it from you some time. And, I'll share it with CB&B. :D Managed to get my hands on a bottle of this today..r...
