Started my post-Valentine's Dinner with a Green Man ESB Special Amber...first time trying one of their brews. Honestly...and I'm not bragging, because I am admittedly a Newbie...but I think my HB nut brown ale is substantially better. Wish I had spent that $2 on something else. Moving on to a HB "Big Dark Stout". Better than last time, but this one was a batch using up some older freebie ingredients and has a little vanilla bean in about a 2-1/2 gallon batch. Definitely a little nondescript, but the fruitiness that I think was coming from the vanilla in early tastings has faded and the ABV is around 7%+. So, a 22ozer makes for a good 3rd or fourth beer in a session!

this. like a light/hot Oktoberfest kinda, kinda ok/ kinda not worth trying one in a mixed sixer,but nothing more. then maybe this.. and/or a Hopslam. Guy had Hopslam hidden behind the counter I happened to look down and seen the box, its almost like you have to have code to buy that beer, and the price kinda pissed me off this year and I don't think its exactly worth that amount. I think Im lucky to have stublebled upon it as I haven't made my regular rounds like I use to. Having it now and would say its cleaner than it has been in years with more distinct aroma/flavors. Bitterness seems alittle mellower but still strong but in a good lingering way. I think it is comparable to a good Lagunitas or sculpin this time,its kind of what comes to mind. Definately seems cleaner and less sweet. Incredibly easy drinking for a 10%er. Im a fan of this years already. I feel less disappointed about spending 20 bucks on the six pack opposed to what I was spending on in previous years, pretty impressive. Not generally a big over 8-8.5%( I stop at Hopwallop/Pliny-when if available) double ipa fan either. Summit rules though too, they make excellent beer.

Didn't take a pic but just finished a Jacks Abby Vanilla Baltic Porter. Was a surprise from the wife last Friday but it was warm so I waited until tonight. Very tasty, love everything they make...also great bottles to reuse for homebrew.

I need to get another one from him so I can give him tasting notes, cause drinking it after a Bourbon county coffee just ain't fair. :)
 
It's dead in here. Guess everyone is doing the dirty deed.

Done dirt cheap?:rockin: I like that beer you got there, different and decent. Very bourbony. I grew to like it. No denying the bourbon.
 
It's ok. It's an affordable bourbon ale. I like more bourbon personally and in a stout. It's worth a try like most beers. Glad I only bought one to try. I'm sure you will enjoy it. It just arrived down here and just sits.
