At times, that beer is way too sweet for me.

That is a have one of these and then have a different beer beer.

Agreed. Nice taste at first but hard to drink a whole bottle.

I am enjoying Trader Joe's Winterfest now. Great toasty flavor. Just don't serve too cold.

Had Dogfish Head Chickory Stout on tap last night at Beachwood BBQ. Great stuff! Need to go back this weekend if they have it again. Also had a pint of Pliny the Elder.

Tried the Pursuit of Hopiness wiht psychopuck on Saturday night. Nice combo of hops.

Also tried the AssKisser double IPA. Incredible beer! Was suprised at the malt in it as I was only expecting a hoppy flavor. Need to buy more.

Hit Beachwood BBQ up for their Winter Brews week. Had Alesmith's Yulesmith out of the cask. Great beer nice hop finish. Followed that with a Speedway Stout that as aged in Whiskey barrels. The Whiskey was a little strong otherwise, it was good.

Hit BevMo after that and got two 6ers of Dogfish Head Chickory Stout and a 6er of Velvet Merlin.

Jeeze. Everytime I read one of your beer posts, I think to myself "Mitch is the man".

Now you are more like The King! What I would give to have Barrel Aged Speedway Stout! The Yulesmith is always one to look forward to during the holidays as well. I think the Chicory Stout is one of the few I like from DFH, and that Velvet Merlin is awesome.

had the Velvet Merlin. great stuff. would be the best oatmeal stout I have ever had, after Stone's 12th.

Dogfish's Chicory Stout. not bad. was expecting more coffee out of it, but got a bit of a licoricey flavor instead, which would be why it's called a Chicory Stout.

Went to a beer tasting on Friday night that featured some HTF beers. For me, GI Bourbon Co. Vanilla Stout stole the show. Smacks you in the jaw with full on vanilla and then settles into a boozy, bourbon alcohol taste and then smooths out at the finish. Heavenly. Darklord was excellent, however to my newbie tastebuds it tasted very similar to Old Rasputin, and since OR is MUCH easier to find, I wasn't too impressed. Other beers were tasted but I either can't remember their names or they didn't make too much of an impression on me.

Yesterday had a bottle of Blue Point American Pale Ale. Good stuff! Not as hoppy as I was expecting, but smooth and balanced and would probably make a good session beer.
