You've never smelled the rubber band aids?

Were you the bubble boy? Never get a cut on your finger? It is very distinct.

Bleeding is for *******. I don't bleed that bloody ****

Fantome? On the shelf? I am not familiar with such sorcery

I'd say they collect dust but I really have no idea, I never look for them so I couldn't say. There were a lot of chocolat bottles in stock though. The ghost was kind of scary looking, maybe that has something to do with it?

 

[nathanmiller]

I just saw their chocolat beer on the shelf the other. I chuckled to myself and grabbed an Oatmeal Yeti instead.

I'd be willing to bet it was the same shelf that I didn't pass up. Grabbed a bottle at the Total Wine in Palm Beach Gardens.

You did not make a mistake. I took the chance only because so many people claimed that Fantome finally got over their burnt rubber tires taste.

Well that bottle sure didn't. Ended up pouring it out after two sips.

Where tomes sit, they sit for years. There's no way to know if that bottle had not been there for 3 years prior to clearing. Most likely the case.

Close but no, at Boca TW.

The fun thing about the spock thing is the tagline reads like they weren't allowed to use "boldly refreshes where other beers can't go" or that it was translated from dutch and originally read that.

This week, this news came out: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...ll-budweiser-makes-a-metallica-beer-in-canada

So this has happenned today. Somebody (a crazy beer dude) said he was ISO some pack of the Bud and was offering great stuff like de Garde, Crooked Stave, Casey, etc. Of course, it's not for him, it's to help out somebody, but I smiled at the idea that Bud will trade for those soon.

Made me smile hah

Correct move. I don't know why people buy those beers. It's like playing russian roulette. Don't waste your money.

You've clearly never played Russian Roulette.

you're in Maryland so you should be familiar with it. I have to go to Maryland to get any Tomes since Shelton doesn't send any to its Richmond distributor and hardly any outside of Noel to the rest of the state...

 

[black_cascade]

Any of you fine people tried cognac jesus? My local shop just got some in. I'm intrigued, but damn....$27.99.

I've seen noel on the shelf once at Perfect Pour in Columbia. That's about it.

must be timing... I can't think of a time I stopped at Perfect Pour and didn't see at least 3-4 different Tomes on the shelf. my most recent stop up there back in July had Hiver, Printemps and Brise-BonBons

Tried at the Mornin' Delight release along with Double Barrel Jesus. Came away with the impression that DBJ is well worth the $$ and the Cognac, not so much, FWIW. Pretty smoky and harsh. Reminded me more of "Xmas Eve In a NYC Hotel Room" than EMJ.

We had it last week and I was not remotely impressed especially given the price point.

Like could use more time bad, or there's no hope bad?

 

[tehzachatak]

I don't know that I would call it "bad" at all (and full disclosure, I don't really like stouts that much), but just like, why did I pay for this, there are many other great stouts at a quarter of the price that I'd rather drink.

CroixCrosse & tehzachatak Thank you for saving me the money.

Heading up to Sanbornton, NH tonight. Was wondering about good places to go for beer. I know you can't get it those lovely big state run liquor stores. My route will pass through Nashua, Manchester and Concord. If anybody has any advice to give I'd be happy to hear it. I was going to post in the regional forums but it doesn't like New Hampshire people have an active forum.

I haven't been in years, but Bert's Better Beers in Hooksett used to be a decent stop on that route.

I have a rule, don't buy Mikeller or evil twin crap. This rule has failed to let me down.

We got some Mikkeller sour once at a bar. The barman was like "are you sure, it's a sour beer!" and all that **** like I'm some noob off the street. It cost a fortune but neither of us could finish it. The barman was all like "lol told you so" as though we just couldn't handle this amazing beer because we were fuckhead morons. In reality it was just an absolute mess of burnt rubber, phenols and ash.

 

[furley]

yet to be letdown by a Mikkeller beer :shurg:

I'm trying to figure out how a Brewer thinks that making a beer taste like a pickle is a good idea. Drinking Plan Bee Pickle after I picked up my allotment. I mean this beer is fantastic, nice sour start the dill kicks in pretty strong and the cucumber refreshes at the end. I like this beer.

Does that hit my character count for this review to be counted? Did I not mention the nose enough? Is this where i review beers?
