Founders Imperial Stout

It’s almost the weekend. After a good workout at the gym and a trip to the library to pick up some more audiobooks (given that I commute about 2.5 hours a day, it’s at least semi-productive), I hopped in the shower and then watched the end of the Phils game. Katie also brought dinner over [...]

Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout (2011)

I spent today brewing like a crazy person. I’m due to go to the fire academy next Tuesday, so I brewed two batches today. One of them was a spiced Imperial stout, which I’m hoping comes out well. This was one of the brews that I had during the brewing process. ABV: 10% Style: Russian [...]

Victory Storm King Stout

And today begins my three-day weekend. I took tomorrow off and a buddy and I are planning to go hit some decent NJ beer spots. As usual, work was crazy today. I had my two-hour meeting and spent the rest of the day working on projects. I really love being busy…I guess it’s my type [...]

Mikkeller Black Hole Barrel Aged Tequila Edition

This is the second review of the night. It’s just been one of those days. It was so sad-looking in the fridge when I pulled this one out. I have never seen the beer fridge so empty. I have enough beers to get me through about a week and a half. But, this means that [...]

Dogfish Head Death Metal

My sister and I took a weekend trip to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for the weekend. So, in addition to having some great meals by the beach and doing some shopping, I got to try some great beers. I also hit up Dogfish Head (both the brewery in Milton and the brewpub in Rehoboth) and tried [...]

Mendocino Imperial Stout

So, today is my Thursday! I can’t wait until tomorrow (it’s also IPA day) because I’m headed to Philly on Friday. Today wasn’t a bad day, just long. I’m sore from the gym and looking forward to hitting the hay early tonight. Tonight’s selection is an Imperial Stout. It’s been a long time since I’ve [...]

Bell’s Expedition Stout

Yesterday, I went into Philly with a friend and drank a lot of great beers and hit some great beer spots. We started at Prohibition Taproom and I had a Coronado flight, then we were off to Jose Pistolas and then ended at Eulogy. Since I had a lot of beer samplers and it was [...]

Brooklyn Black OPS (2010)

Mother’s Day is a holiday that gives me an excuse to open a really good beer. This selection was one that I had heard good things about, but never got to try. And I seriously love bourbon barrels like no other. This should prove to be a treat. ABV: 11.6% Style: Russian Imperial Stout Trivia: [...]

Weyerbacher Heresy

So, yet again, I’ve totally fallen off the beer reviewing wagon. I’m blaming half of this on the flu. The other half I’m totally blaming on teaching someone about beer. But, I couldn’t walk past this beer in the beer fridge any longer. An oak aged stout? Sounds like a great idea to end the [...]

Oskar Blues Ten Fidy

Today was a really long day. It took me two hours to get to work, mostly due to the wonderful ice storm in New Jersey. I also have to get up at three this morning so that I can order the iPhone for me and my sister. I can’t wait for this weekend. I just [...]
