Another Great Tasting Beer Thread

[heelswxman]

Ahh, a thread after my own heart. I've begun brewing my own beer. But tonight, I'll be drinking a Tripel Karmeliet.

[Motown]

Tonight it's: 7.5% ABV & OFF...'till Mon.
"Hang on... it's a Category 5 Ale!
With a full ruby hue, vivid malty flavor, and earthy hop aroma, Winter Storm is an original -- an Imperial ESB for the winter months.
7.5% Alc./Vol."
HEAVY SEAS WINTER STORM (CAT 5)

Now my favorite beer. "1554; Enlightened Black Ale. Redefines the phrase keeping time in a bottle. From an ancient, crumbling Belgian library book, our intrepid researchers found references to this obscure style dating back to the year 1554. Suprisingly bright taste and a dry, choclaty finish.."

Its not too dry and the choclaty finish definitely is the best part (no bad aftertaste)

I did some sampling last night and here's what I came up with:

Guinness Draught: Underwhelming. I was expecting better. I probably wouldn't buy again at the price.

Abita Purple Haze: Wasn't much of a fan at first but it grew on me as I tasted the others beers and came back to it. I would be it again.

Blue Moon: Probably my favorite beer. No brainer for me, I'm buying it again.

Miller High Life: I've had it plenty of times and it was only about $7.00 for a twelve pack so I bought it. In my opinion it's the best of the popular domestic beers.

Samuel Adams Boston Lager: Very underwhelming. I actually like High Life more. I don't see myself buying it again.

But I have quite a few of each of these beers left so my opinions could change with further drinking.

My father and brother were giving me a hard time for enjoying High Life. I like it, and like you said, under 7 for a 12 pack...not bad.

Damn I screwed up the wording on the little Purple Haze blurb.

Mo, I'll drink another one and give a review as best I can. I'm not exactly a beer aficionado at this point so I can't promise it'll be all that great, but I'll give it a shot.
