China Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Have you ever tried the Utopias? I bought a bottle once. It doesn't taste anything like beer, it's more like sherry. I liked it, but don't think it's worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it, but don't think it's worth the price. Did you keep the bottle? ======================== Are you aging an Budweiser American Ale? Flying Dog has a 10% Imperial Pumpkin Ale out that looks pretty good, im not quite ready for Pumpkin Beer yet, this will be the first one I try.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) I'm just keeping the Budweiser American Ale around in case I get thirsty. Just had the Uerge Doppelsticke Easily one of the best beers I've ever had. Just an absolutely killer roasted/smoke blast, a big HOP backbone that blends in unbelievably well. Pretty big body and very soft on the palate with its light carbonation. What a beast, I'm in love.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Orval Trappist Ale (bottled 11/17/10) Been wanting to try this one for a long time. Aroma is very big for a Belgian Ale, and it's complex with citrus, pepper and yeast. Flavor is delayed for a second until exploding in to a ton of salt and pepper with heavy herbal spices. Also citrus - mostly lemons. It's like I was supposed to take a shot of tequila before drinking this. Yeast backbone is hardly there, but it's the only thing reassuring me that this is a beer. Alcohol warms a lot on the finish (ALC 6.9%). This one packs a punch, it's just not exactly my cup of beer, and that's not even considering the massive price tag.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) Having a Dogfish Head Burton Baton right now...it's the 90 Minute IPA aged in oak staves, really good stuff but a TAD expensive. Rather have the 90 Minute, and it's $5 less a 4-pack. Also had the Southern Tier Pumking and Heavy Seas The Great Pumpkin at the same time. The Southern Tier is just an avalanche of pumpkin pie and gingerbread. The body is thick, it's literally like a Fall/Winter dessert in liquid form. The Great Pumpkin is more of an ale with fall spices backing it up. I'd take the Southern Tier Pumking any day, it is extremely over the top with Fall spices, love it.

The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Best Pumpkin beer is Pumking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Best Pumpkin beer is Pumking? It's all up to the taste buds of the beholder . I shared the Pumking and The Great Pumpkin with a friend and he liked The Great Pumpkin more. It's definitely got a lot more actual beer flavors in it I'd put the Dogfish Head Punkin' Ale in between the two as far as strength of pumpkin pie flavor. If you like that full flavor of the DFH Punkin', the Southern Tier will knock your fricken socks off.

Enforcer_FFX Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Another GREAT fall seasonal w/ pumpkin awesomeness is Flying Dog's, "The Fear." Great full-flavor going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Wow, that's new! Hope they've stocked it around here. Tonight I'm having a few Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ales, which are loaded down with coffee/ chocolate/ caramel/ brown sugar. Almost like a really good stout, but a mild hop character. Tastes like the 60 Minute IPA is in here a little bit. Love Brown Ales in the Fall, and this is my favorite so far. This one is in stock all over Maryland.

The staff said that we will start seeing it in stores starting this week and next week in the DMV area. That Indian Brown Ale sounds good. It's one of the Dogfish Head ones I haven't sampled yet!

Gilly's Craft Beer & Fine Wine in Rockville, they have a very nice selection but everything is a bit overpriced. Gilly's location on Google Maps They have beers on tap + food and a few tables to sit at as well.

Glad you liked the Dogtoberfest, I was close to getting a six pack of that today. "The Fear" wasn't in stock, but the news from Enforcer_FFX is excellent. I've been drinking a lot of Pumpkin and Octoberfest style brews, along with a bunch of other malty stuff this month, so I got a beer infused with some high-end bitterness hops today. She's my go-to pale ale, especially bitter for the style. Edited October 14, 2011 by d0ublestr0ker0ll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 i was just in my local store and saw the smuttynose pumpkin ale. i thought about buying some but then asked the owner about "The Fear" by flying dog. Told me he was supposed to get some in a few days ago but they are all sold out. Said he would be getting some in next week so I placed myself an order for a 6 pack. I'm fully expecting to pay up to $15 for the 6 pack (DC prices) but oh well, I love flying dog and pumpkin beer so this one looks like a can't-miss for me.

Skinz4Life12 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 HOLY **** i just got a call back from the beer store and they told me they now have The Fear in stock but its 21.99 for a 6 pack...considering other flying dog beers go for $9.50 i might try and find it cheaper somewhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they're pretty high on their stuff, are they... Flying Dog is one of those really good breweries that I consider to have very good prices. If that has anything to do with it being in the county next door to me, I don't know. $21.99 for a Flying Dog six pack is actually quite shocking to hear.

I'm gonna look at a few other places first. Another example of how expensive that place is: They were charging $4.99 for one 12 oz bottle of dogfish pumpkin ale. I don't even want to know what they were charging for the 4 pack. They have a great selection but the prices are steep Edited October 14, 2011 by Skinz4Life12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloppyOneXXVI Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 FYI, I just bought a six pack of The Fear for $13.99 at the beer store on the corner of democracy and old georgetown road in Bethesda. http://www.yelp.com/biz/georgetown-square-beer-and-wine-shop-bethesda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
