Coletrain06 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Also had one of these. Couldn't resist when I saw it. It was pretty good, but I'm left wondering why it's an ale and not a porter or stout? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called a Black Imperial Pale Ale, but it's more like a stout than an ale. Hell how can it be "black" and "pale" at all? Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smore beer actually drinks and tatses like an ale........I think it would be even better if they made it a porter or stout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like it could be great. I bought my neighbor a bottle of the Founders CBS for Christmas, but he’s been out of town since. Anyone try it? I was thinking of grabbing a bottle for myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I just haven't really tried a "bourbon barrel" beer that I like. I like bourbon. I like beer. I need their flavore to be separate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really love Kentucky bourbon barrel beer Also Anderson valley had a very good one that was aged in Wild Turkey barrels. Tried a few beers that were aged in rum barrels and tequila barrel staves and those beers were awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Anderson Valley is good. Never been to the brewery it’s only about 65 miles form me, but it’s kind of in BFE. Will prob make the trek one day. I need to do the tour at Russian River. Place is huge! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I guess I have a smorgasboard to choose from for tonight. No plans to go anywhere. Just gonna continue watching bowl games and get started on some beers soon. I have 4 Sam Adams Winter Lagers left. (Not my favorite is why I still have 4) 2 Funky Buddah Sticky Treats that I've been saving because I really like them and they're a seasonal release. I'm afraid their may not be more for a while. 1 Harpoon Dunkin' Coffee Stout 5 Rye Charles left of 12 I brought in the night of the Geico games. Probably gonna chill me a glass and jump on the Rye Charles. Then take a night cap from that Michter's unblended that I've been working on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m grilling some New York’s so in all honesty, I’ll have 4-6 silver bullets while manning the BBQ then be done with the panther piss water and move onto some beer. Like you a have a mixed bag and a lot of singles. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing here by the part of Pretoria Fields that I've seen which includes the brewery... 10k square ft. maybe. That includes a green space the tap room and everything. Back Forty is probably double that but they have a kitchen and game room with ping pong and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA Fan Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Appropriate beer for the Patriots yesterday: Sticking with the boring but dependable Fuller's London Pride tonight. Is the Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout any good? Saw it at Wegman's but hard to justify $25.99 for 25.9 oz. I love the regular Breakfast Stout but not a fan of the Kentucky version. Probably gone now anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
