Today's blog will be a short one. Usually at work (Wine Library), I am trying new things almost everyday, from strong cheeses to wines to beer. Since this is a beer blog, I will quickly talk about beer sampling. Today, we sampled a whole spectrum of American craft beer, ranging from good to bad to "what in the hell is this shit?"
So, I will now present a list of beer I and others at work sampled, and quick dishes about each one. Ready? Here goes:
Halcyon Imperial IPA - A five star British masterpiece, filled with good hops and smooth mouthfeel.
Old School House Imperial Stout - The way a stout should be, full of heavy cream and malty goodness. Grab that slice of double chocolate cake.
MacTarnahan's Spine Tingler Belgian Style Tripel - Not bad, but they are far better Tripel beers out there.
Manly Men El Hefe Wheat Barleywine - What? Is it a barleywine? A wheatwine? Both? I tasted this twice. It tasted like something you would do if you a pour's worth of both styles and placed them in a plastic cup.
Rogue Voodoo Bacon Doughnut Maple Ale - This one has been generating a ton of buzz since its debut, both positive and negative. My take? Meh. It's as if someone took a plain donut, wrapped it in bacon, covered it in powdered sugar, and slathered it in maple syrup. Rogue's biggest gamble yet.
That's it. See you all soon.
