time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

[hanuswalrus]

Sorry for the delay, was out of town drinking amazing beer in Vermont.. Nobody's gotten it yet

 

[WarrynPeace]

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout

 

[WarrynPeace]

Ok,I missed the hint. Guiness Black Lager? And if so...why? ��

 

[hanuswalrus]

Hah.. it is NOT so..

You are on the right track, tho, that it is by a brewery from across the pond...

 

[TooDogly]

sprecher black bavarian

 

[MrFeltimo]

Kostritzner black lager
Adnams?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Nope.

 

[hanuswalrus]

Guess I'll give another hint..

"The Bro's" give this beer a perfect score.
I'd have to agree.. it's the best beer of this style I've ever tasted.

 

[drainbamage]

Ayinger Celebrator?

 

[hanuswalrus]

@drainbamage You Win! Nice job.

If you haven't tried this beer yet, go get some now. It even comes with a little ornament on each bottle.

Nice, that's one of my favorites!

wild stab in the dark:

Cayuga Cruiser / Ithaca ?

 

[drainbamage]

No

 

[hanuswalrus]

Ipa?

 

[drainbamage]

Not an IPA (or a DIPA...the Hopslam glass is a red herring).

 

[Braumeise]

the lack of foam makes me think of a sour, lambic or gose beer...

next wild stab in the dark New belgium / Erics Ale ?

 

[drainbamage]

Not any type of sour.

It did actually have a fluffy white head, but it faded fast and didn't lace much.

 

[TooDogly]

Pumking?

 

[drainbamage]

Nope

 

[drainbamage]

Time for a hint?

The style is kind of vague (could be considered a few things), but it definitely fits the classification of "dessert beer".

 

[TooDogly]

Caramel Cream Ale - Due South

 

[drainbamage]

No, but you're on the right track with the style

 

[TooDogly]

New Belgium Ben & Jerry's Salted Caramel Brownie Brown Ale?

 

[drainbamage]

Nope

 

[MrFeltimo]

So its a cream ale?

 

[drainbamage]

Most of the online listings I've seen call it a cream ale or golden ale.

 

[MrFeltimo]

Is it local to you? within 100 miles

 

[drainbamage]

No

 

[MrFeltimo]

east coast?

 

[drainbamage]

No

 

[robbyice1]

backcountry cream ale

 

[TooDogly]

Is it North American?

 

[MrFeltimo]

Recent award winner?

 

[drainbamage]

backcountry cream ale

No.

Recent award winner?

Not that I'm aware of, but I'm not 100% certain.

Is it North American?

Hint - The brewery is American, but follows a certain ethnic/cultural theme with its beers.

 

[hanuswalrus]

5 Rabbit?

 

[drainbamage]

5 Rabbit?

That's the brewery...

 

[hanuswalrus]

Arroz Con Leche

 

[drainbamage]

Arroz Con Leche

That's it! It was an interesting beer... very sweet, but tasty.

Nice! I like their Yodo Con Leche and Super Pils. Do they distribute down in KY? If so, I did not know that..

I will post something up later tonight..

They don't yet, but they're in OH, which is only a 15 minute drive away.
