Agreed @Audible but it is yummy. Lil dark, lil bitter

This one I just picked up on the way home. It is not for the faint of heart. 8.5alc thick, creamy, can taste a bit of alcohol not really hoppy at all. Just a hint. It’s a scotch style ale. I really like it. Definitely would recommend and pick up again.

@claude505 would approve
I had a few of these this weekend. It’s a different style. It’s tart and a little salty. But quite refreshing. They are a great change of pace if you’ve been drinking beer all day.
I also tried one each of these three. The grapefuit sculpin is pretty good but maybe not worth the price. The other two are pretty meh. I won’t be searching them out again.

I’ve been drinking a lot of Summer Love by Victory Brewing Company lately. This isn’t a bad summer beer. It’s hoppier than most Summer beers but not enough for true hop heads.

I’m going to have to track down that DuClaw Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter. Not now, maybe in the winter.
The Sweet Baby Jesus is pretty easy to get in most beer stores. I prefer the Dirty Little Freak.
If anyone wants some nostalgia, Try Not your father’s rootbeer. Tastes just like a root beer.
I’ve been crushing some Lickinghole Creek this past month.
I got a hold of some
Coconut Bachelors Delight
Regular Bachelors Delight
Supreme Leader
Bourbon Barrel Triple
Enlightened despot
All great beers
I almost got Dirty Little Freak.
How was it?
I will be picking up a 6pk of this tonight. I tried a single the other day and have to say that compared to Not Your Father’s it has more fizz, lighter tasting, a bit sweeter but not in a bad way, less of an alcohol aftertaste. It seems more inspired by the flavors of root beer than an in your face root beer replica. My wife doesn’t even like root beer and thought it was good. It is affiliated with Boston Brewing Co.

The only new beer that I have had recently is this IPA. Pretty darn tasty…

@Lala_Calamari apparently this is good, wifey recommends it
Had one of these last night…
I won’t lie. The can sold me. It has good ratings on Beer Advocate, but it isn’t my favorite. When I cracked the can I got excited. The smell is awesome. Very hoppy up front and then nothing. The bitter just lingers for ever. If I would have drank more last night it would not have been another one of these. Not many IPA I don’t like.
Glad I got a mixed 6 pack. It could be the can I guess. There is only one beer I like in a can and that is Old Chub Scotch Ale. If you like ESB beers you will like this IPA.
Those are pretty good, try the lower IBU one, I think it’s in the 40s. Still hoppy, but not as overwhelming.
I had this the other day and it was pretty good.
I also had the Goose Island Matilda, it was good, but skip it and go straight to the Sophie.
Had Dirtwolf on draft and it was killer.
Both are excellent.

Had this last night on draft
I’m not sure I would call this a brown, its more of a black rye.
12% ABV
I would say it’s a 4 out of 5.
That Dirty Little Freak looks interesting. unfortunately i would have to drive 200 miles away to the nearest store that sells it. hopefully gets to this area
Dirty Little Freak Coconut Caramel Chocolate Brown Ale, first brewed in 2014, takes the traditional American Brown Ale and gives it a sensual new twist – Coconut! This medium-bodied, 5.8% abv brown ale is a feast for the senses from its dominant blend of warm, roasted malt, coconut, caramel, and chocolate flavors barely restrained by a gentle hop bite, to its tantalizingly satisfying finish. But if you submit to our Dirty Little Freak, be warned: there is no safe word.
I know that the coconut will scare some people off but you don’t really taste coconut at all. It nice and chocolaty and has a really nice hop bite for a brown ale.
