Looks like the D_ranged_eskimo has passed the torch and I'll jump on it.

Commercially sold beer that has now become my all time fav.

Complex aroma and taste are two of it's primary characteristics. It's partner is actually a model for the style. If this makes it to day two, I'll add another hint un-obscure the label a tad bit more.

Dubbel

Belgian Strong Ale

Brown Sugga Lagunitas?

nocsimian · Mar 29, 2012

No, no, and no.

nocsimian · Mar 29, 2012

The color in the pic is accurate and it turns out the head is true to style. No picture of the lace as it turns out I have a hard time using my camera after a few of these.

Lagunitas Gnarleywine

mcbethenstein · Mar 29, 2012

I'll jump on this train....
Lagunitas sucks

bottlebomber · Mar 29, 2012

It looks like a Lagunitas bottle...

nocsimian · Mar 29, 2012

Not brewed in California.

nocsimian · Mar 30, 2012

Updated Pic.

There's 5 hints out there, some more subtle than others. The label that's visible should point folks in the right direction for hint #6.

I'm sure it goes without saying by now (I think every variant has been guessed) that it's not Belgium in style or history.

That there is a backwoods bastard scotch ale.

nocsimian · Mar 30, 2012

No, but I need to try that.

two_hearted · Mar 30, 2012

Well, then I just don't get your clues...

DisturbdChemist · Mar 30, 2012

Old ale - (Founders- Curmudgeon)

nocsimian · Mar 30, 2012

Old Ale - yes
Curmudgeon - no

It's actually Curmudgeon's better Half. An 11.9% ABV Old Ale brewed with molasses and aged in maple syrup bourbon barrels.

And holy smokes, I just found folks selling it on Ebay for $70 a bottle. It's good, but not $70 good.

two_hearted · Mar 30, 2012

huh, never heard of that one. I thought for sure you were talking about dirty bastard and backwoods.

nocsimian · Mar 30, 2012

I haven't been able to find anything on Founder's website about it but it's an unbelievably tasty beer.

bottlebomber · Mar 30, 2012

This feels kind of dirty with that little censorship box being lowered

I have nothing to contribute to this one, Founders isn't distributed here

bottlebomber · Mar 31, 2012

Dang Reno congrats on your new thread! :mug;

Reno_eNVy · Mar 31, 2012

Thanks. That mofo took off faster than I expected.

DisturbdChemist · Mar 31, 2012

Some one can post another picture. I dont have any at the moment

Reno_eNVy · Mar 31, 2012

Yoink!

Porter?

Reno_eNVy · Mar 31, 2012

No

Hint: it has a special, albeit common, ingredient

jfrank85 · Mar 31, 2012

Brown sugar brown ale?

commonsenseman · Mar 31, 2012

Oatmeal Stout?

stonewall86 · Mar 31, 2012

Coffee Stoudt?

Reno_eNVy · Mar 31, 2012

No and no but dancing around it.

Boleslaus · Mar 31, 2012

Chocolate Stout

Ding ding ding, got it

Boleslaus · Apr 1, 2012

Let's field some guesses before I give out a hint. Seems like people narrow things down quickly anyway.

bottlebomber · Apr 1, 2012

I'll take the easy road - RIS

stonewall86 · Apr 1, 2012

Looks like another Stoudt. I love the Unibroue cup ( mostly I just love Unibroue)!

nocsimian · Apr 2, 2012

Tough to tell with the lighting but I'll go with RyePA

mcbethenstein · Apr 2, 2012

Belgian dark strong ale

Boleslaus · Apr 2, 2012

The color is accurate. One of the three guesses has been on the right track, looking for some specifics.
