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

nice try but not the right beer

 

[edroberts]

Wow. I thought that was a slam dunk at that point. I'll chew on this foot for a while.

sam smith winter welcome ale

this beer was purchased dec 2014 im not sure if you can read the year..2007-2008 oh yeah I live in a little town with a lot of yellow beer drinkers, it takes 7 years to go through a case of good beer

 

[TooDogly]

could be a good thing if they cellared it right. I bought bottles of 2011 Sofie and Matilda last month at my local beer store, couldn't believe my eyes!

I'll put one up later tonight.

It's a winter warmer, not a brown ale! How dare you, sir!

10 Barrel Coconut Porter

 

[drainbamage]

Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald

 

[TooDogly]

Nope and nope. But drainbamage is closest geographically so far.

 

[TooDogly]

my deepest apology I did say brown ale I might have steered you in the wrong direction! and for some reason I didn't catch the "warmer" you threw out there

I demand a recount!

Edit: smileys aren't working but it's a grin face

 

[TooDogly]

Off Color Something

Do they have a beer called "Something"? Actually I had never heard of them before, so no that's not it. My hint was that Chicago is ethnically close to this beer, think pierogi.

3F Alpha Klaus?

Nope.

Hint: Look closely at the reflection to see part of the label!

 

[TooDogly]

Nope, but correct style.

No guesses on this boss of a beer? If we took a pole, I bet almost every one you could guess this beer right now (given you can use google).

 

[chocotaco]

Black Boss Porter - BOSS Browar?

 

[TooDogly]

Black Boss Porter - BOSS Browar?

Yep!

 

[chocotaco]

Cool!

Well I went to a beer bar on Friday but I neglected to take any pictures! So let's try a little something different. NO PICTURE. I'll describe the beer and you guess the breweries and specific beer.

It poured a dark reddish brown, not completely opaque but it takes some light to see the color. Thick, white head. Good head retention.

HUGE banana aroma with spicy notes of pumpernickel bread. Spice and brown sugar in the taste with some fruity esters, maybe a little toasty fig or raisin. Nicely balanced sweetness with some assertive bittnerness.
