road dog is my fav from them, and dog in heat is "the worst beer I have ever drank" which is also from them

Hamburglar · 11-08-2008, 12:24 PM

road dog porter is very good (also great read on the bottle)
the doggie style pale ale is good as well

nEighter · 11-08-2008, 12:35 PM

Tonto.. so you said you drank that golden dragon? that white beer? Any good?

bringing this back from the dead....ish.

looking to go to total wine for some xmas gifts.

I'm mainly interested in trying Arrogant Bastard, Rogue Dead guy Ale, and Flying Dog Gonzo.

Shipyard Pumpkin Head?

Chad

YoungGun · 11-26-2008, 01:37 PM

okay just got back from my beer search.

went to 3 publix's in search of flying dog gonzo...someone said they found it in one. no suck luck

went to total wine

ABC liquor

and Crown liquor

here's what I ended up getting.

Arrogant bastard
shipyard pumpkin head
sam adams winter lager
rogue dead guy santa reserve
rouge dead guy ale
dogfish Midas touch
old rasputin imperial stout.

and a handle of gentleman jack, and a thing of baileys Irish cream

first one I'm going to try is pumpkin head.

Chad

Hamburglar · 11-26-2008, 02:39 PM

nice

I just had :

No hop taste to it at all, but holyshit was it rich, a meal in every drink (not for the budlight drinking pussies)

Then other end of the spectrum I had:

SUPER HOPPY and also rich and a "meal in every drink". holy balls I loved it

YoungGun · 11-26-2008, 02:48 PM

nice Hammy.

I changed my mind, going to try either the rouge dead guy, or midas touch first...leaving the pumpkinhead for tom w/ pumpkin pie.

Midas is supposedly like a wine, suppose to be good with fish which we are having...might have to try it.

hmm only got 1

going to try Midas Touch with dinner...seems to be an interesting "beer" so to say.

Somewhere between a beer, wine and mead, this smooth, dry ale will please with Chardonnay or I.P.A. drinker alike.

well shit they dont really have a wide variety of beer here where i live but i do try to get a different kind everytime i am at the store. probably my two favorites so far are fat tire and warsteiner.

YoungGun · 11-26-2008, 07:02 PM

okay...my review on Dogfish head Midas Touch

I rate it a B-

Appearance- golden hazy amber and honey color, little to no head, noticeable carbonation, and fizz champagne like.

Smell- honey, and grapey,with hints of alcohol and barley.

Taste- sharp, but not over powering grape tasting, as well as wheaty, grape skin after taste lingers.

Mouth feel- syrupy and smooth with a soda like fizz at first, after that smooth and dry

Drinkability- definitely not an every day beer, or even a weekly beer...best shared between 2, its unique and really pushes the edge to what you can call a beer. would I have it again? I won't go out of my way...but wouldn't turn it down.

Chad

**timeless2** · 11-26-2008, 07:53 PM

Flying Dog makes a great Amber Ale.

YoungGun · 11-26-2008, 08:27 PM

I rate this an A-

Appearance- DARK, wow this is the darkest beer I've ever seen, pitch black, HUGE foamy head, lasts for days did I say this was dark?

Smell- smell was kind of hidden by the head, strong coffee smell, nutty chocolate, hints of hops.

Taste- this beer has so many layers its hard to describe them all, its a full bodied strong beer, with a 9% ABV but you can't taste it at all. taste like chocolate, and caramel, some would say bitter...not to me. VERY complex.

Mouth feel- smooth inky bitter Full bodied Slickness that coats the mouth. Generally very smooth and creamy apart from the carbonation.

Drinkablity- Very drinkable, I highly enjoyed this beer for sure, very complex, inciting flavors, and very filling.

The entire Sam Adams Winter Classics Variety Pack.
My buddy and I got it last year and honestly I don't think I enjoyed one of the brews (Old Fezziwig Ale, Holiday Porter, Cranberry Lambic, of course Boston Lager, Winter Lager and ... CREAM STOUT!) but since then I've really branched out my beer tastes and shit, they are all great in their own way.

My personal rankings:
1. Winter Lager
2. Old Fezziwig Ale
3. Boston Lager
4. Cream Stout
5. Cranberry Lambic
6. Holiday Porter

Tonto-T · 12-05-2008, 07:20 AM

got 12 Guiness draught last night... something really perfect about Guiness and the winter.
