I don't normally like the taste of IPAs. My buddy was dumb enough to leave them in my fridge though.

IPAs are my favorite! I don't know anything about Pyramid Brewery but I usually go with Full Sail, Clipper City - Heavy Seas - Loose Cannon, or any of the Dogfish Head [insert number] IPAs, as far as IPAs that are readily available around here.

7.5/10 - Bottle was at the store for over a year. Tasted like it was left in the sun or something, but still pretty good.

Saison ain't meant to sit long.


Keg of Spaten Oktoberfest - decent in the bottle - in the keg - totally different product. 10/10

Orval Trappist - 8.5/10
Love this beer...a light/golden-orange abbey style triple.

Bornem Triple - 8/10
Drank during a different session from the Orval, but was very similar; lighter in color and more biscuit-y. Never had this one before, but at 8 or 9% ABV, I'd definitely get it again.

Saint Bernardus 12. 10/10. My regular beer shop has a really good variety, but I can't help going back to the Saint Bernardus again and again.

Yeah that's one of my favorites as well.

My roommate opened it and didn't like it so he gave it to me. It's a monday and I wasn't really in the mood for a beer but I couldn't turn it down. It's not bad initially, but the after taste is something I can do without. Drank it while watching Tenacious D In The Pick of Destiny so that was fitting. 6.8/10, 7.5/10 without the after taste

Worst. Beer. Ever.

totally, this shit is horrible.
it's just thick and chalky and bitter and pointless.

Triple fermented - but not really triple style - definately the most underrated trappist - that's a 10 in my book.

St. Bernardus 12 is definitely one of my favorites, but everytime I drink it, I can't help but compare it to Westvleteren 12, and feel like something is lacking.

I've never had the pleasure of trying Westvleteren, but it's high on my agenda.

You now have my unconditional support. This person knows what's up.

You know, I had always thought the only way I was going to be able to try it was to actually venture to the monastery. Luckily my soon-to-be brother in law was given a bottle as a groomsman's gift and saved it for when I traveled to visit my sister and him. There's actually a place in Belgium that sells them (against the requests of the monastery), though shipping international is a bit steep:

Yup, I've got a few friends in Gent, Belgium and have been over there twice. On one occasion I saw a sign for Westvleteren hanging on the outside of a pub, right on the city's main square. I asked if they had any, but was told that they get it in once a month and it lasts about a week. I'm sure I'll get an opportunity some time though.

They have this on tap at the Concordia ale house that is by chinbeard's house. I might stop and have one on the way into portland tomorrow.

If a beer is less than 7.5 or 8% abv, I would avoid it, if it's been in the store for that long.

Bell's Brown Ale 7/10
It was decent but sort of nonchalant. I definitely like their stouts better.

Brown ales are kind of dim.

Yeah...I agree....it was my first time trying it and I've been impressed with Bell's other stuff.
It was a leftover from the weekend wherein I bought a bunch of Stouts and IPA's so it definitely tasted even more dim after those.

But I do enjoy a Newcastle Brown every now and then.

they can be really good...



Too many micro-brews fall into the trap of either over-hopping them, or falling into the totally bland category.

I always bypass that Rogue's Hazelnut. I'll have to check it out sometime.
