Ooh ooh, the Espresso Stout is pretty nom.


I've put a nice beer order in, looking forward to sampling my loot.

If anyone's ever in Utah and you're going to drink a beer, make sure it's from a local brewing company (like the Moab Brewing company or Uinta brewing company). They don't have to go through the same rigamarole as beers from out of state. i.e. they have a higher than 3% alchohol content.

Uinta makes some damn good beer.

as does Epic

Yeah, I quite enjoyed Uinta's Hop Notch, as well as Squatters IPA. What gives, Utah?

Bacon, maple, doughnuts, and beer are all wonderful on their own...but they should never be mixed together! This was terrible!

Yeah, I don't know many people who enjoyed that one.

Maple bacon doughnuts and beer SHOULD be mixed.

I like that beer but yeah, it's mostly because it's a weird, smoky beer.

I like weird and smoky too, but there was something about the balance of that one for me. Plus there's no way I could finish an entire giant bottle... Maybe a snifter of it or something...

Totally agree with the bomber being too much, but good to share. First time I split it with a friend, 2nd time there were 4 of us because I encouraged my friends to try it, something totally out there to them and served as a dessert beverage.

Good solution! I probably would have enjoyed it in that context...

yeah its a pretty unique experience fresh. I had an oldish one once and was super underwhelmed.

they got a peanutbutter banana beer now.

jsyk

I SAW THAT TODAY AND I WAS SO TEMPTED TO BE ELVIS AND GET A MAPLE BACON ONE AND A PEANUT BUTTER BANANA ONE

Going to have to find and try this, just out of pure curiosity.



Got a bottle of this waiting for me when I get home.

Anyone tried the Brooklyn Chocolate Stout?

I had the Brooklyn Chocolate Stout, but I can't remember if it was the regular version or the aged version. It seemed really boozy to me at the time. Though that was last year, so who knows - maybe it was the batch.
