Quote HistoryQuoted: For a nightcap, or aperitif... The Poles know how to brew... 9.5%, sweetish, rich and tasty...I usually mix it with a can of Guiness. http://i.imgur.com/jZSoNUc.jpg" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/jZSoNUc.jpg Raspberry Framboise mixed half and half with a chocolate stout.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I like Mackesons Triple Stout.. Unfortunately few stores carry it near me. https://www.totalwine.com/dynamic/x1000,6pk/media/sys_master/twmmedia/h4d/h9f/14196441350174.png That one looks interesting. What is it like? |

 I couldn't make to any of the huge beer stores today so I just picked up Great Lakes Oatmeal Stout. In Ohio, Great Lakes is everywhere even gas stations. It's okay but waaaaay too hoppy for me like all Great Lakes beers. (I hate hopps.) My favorite food for stouts and porters are smoked oysters. |

Quote HistoryThere is a Craft Beer event here in Michigan called Cider Dayz at Blakes Orchard the maker of Blake’s cider. And a few years ago the New Holland booth was next to the Founders booth. They were mixing Dragons milk with Rubaeus it was like drinking a Chocolate covered Raspberry |

Those aren't odds I'd normally bother to play, though. Edit. As for the Great Lakes Oatmeal Stout.... a bit of a disappointment. Too light, more like a Cola in complexity, missing that certain "oomph" and "maltiness" I expect in a stout. Darnit, and I bought two. Still way better than an IPA. |

That would be the West Coast IPAs and anything listed as "American ______", like American Stout (the only Stout I don't like), with the uber high IBUs (International Bitterness Unit). If you want good, actually drinkable IPAs, stick with New England/Hazy IPAs, Milkshake IPAs, and Double/Triple IPAs. All generally have pretty low IBUs but still retain various hop flavor or are more malt forward. |

Try Young's Oatmeal Stout and Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout. Yes, Great Lakes sucks and too watery like you said. I only bought it because I live in the sticks and the little store I went to only had it. Making the run to one of the best selection stores in the US maybe next week. I will post pictures next week. I would drink my own piss before I would drink an IPA! I hate hopps! |

This Big Bad Baptist Chocolate Mint is pretty damn good.
But, as good as it is, and even though it packs more of an ABV punch, I think I still like this better. This is a damn good beer. Like liquid Thin Mints with booze.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: https://i.ibb.co/pyqXs6G/20220128-181941.jpg I couldn't make to any of the huge beer stores today so I just picked up Great Lakes Oatmeal Stout. In Ohio, Great Lakes is everywhere even gas stations. It's okay but waaaaay too hoppy for me like all Great Lakes beers. (I hate hopps.) My favorite food for stouts and porters are smoked oysters. I just poured myself my first ever glass of that Oatmeal Stout before sitting back and opening this thread. Picked it up and some sort of Irish Ale from them this weekend. Not bad. I don't hate hops necessarily, but I hate the death by hops thing that took over the American beer world about 15 years ago. I've actually had one or two decent IPAs. Those aren't odds I'd normally bother to play, though. That would be the West Coast IPAs and anything listed as "American ______", like American Stout (the only Stout I don't like), with the uber high IBUs (International Bitterness Unit). If you want good, actually drinkable IPAs, stick with New England/Hazy IPAs, Milkshake IPAs, and Double/Triple IPAs. Best IPA I've ever had was actually German! Spencer makes an IPA, and I'm tempted to try it. How about that... I don't venture over to the foreign beer side often since there's so much domestic to try but I'll stop by my store and check if they have it. I know they carry Spencer. It's an international store. They have a lot to chose from. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/102941/jungle_jim_s_eastgate_beer_jpg-2258290.JPG Is this the Giant Eagle outside of Medina? I miss the beer selection in Ohio.

Quote HistoryQuoted: This Big Bad Baptist Chocolate Mint is pretty damn good. But, as good as it is, and even though it packs more of an ABV punch, I think I still like this better. This is a damn good beer. Like liquid Thin Mints with booze. https://i.imgur.com/Ftdo9Ho.jpg HOLY CRAP 10%! |

Didn't read the thread but stouts should start about ~10% abv and go up.
Get really good about 14% Anything that is a "stout" at 5% probably isn't worth it. |

Yep, I've generally been disappointed by stouts below the 8-10% range and 8 is pushing it. Actually, I dont always look at the alcohol content and will drink any Porter or stout that tastes rich, heavy and/or creamy. But, I'm not drinking 6 of them if they are above 5%. Two maybe three tops for the 8%+. I have had good ones at 5% which were not watered down tasting at all. |

Quoted: I've been drinking stouts and porters for almost 30 years (before that I was a peasant beer drinker). This one is one my absolute favorites: https://www.samuelsmithsbrewery.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/DS8_2594-1-THIN.jpg Samuel Adam's Honey Porter was also a favorite in the 1990s. Although I hate hops, I will put up with a lightly hoppy dark beer. Feel free to tell me about your less/no hops stouts and porters. (Yes, I still like Guinness!) (This is like my first non-political non-gun post! Feels, weird...) Link: Samuel Smith - Taddy Porter This has been one of my top 5 favorite brews for a long time. Another incredible brew from Samuel Smith is their "Yorkshire Stingo". Highly recommend, but it's very difficult to find. Link: Samuel Smith - Yorkshire Stingo As a side note, I was able to tour the Samuel Smith brewery and their pub next door (Angel and White Horse) back in 2002. Awsome experience. I have a picture of me standing behind the bar at the Angel and White Horse pouring my own Taddy Porter. We also have a horse shoe from the Samuel Smith stable on our fire place mantle. |

For tonight, may as well watch WW3 kick off with an appropriate beer featuring some armor!
 6% is a little light for a stout, IMHO, but the Operation Flintlock varieties have never disappointed. |

Gave the Yuengling Hershey's chocolate porter a try... missed the mark. Too sweet, little body. Didn't feel like a porter as much as someone trying to make alcoholic Yoohoo (Yoohooch?).
Had the chance to try Tarrapin Beer Company's chocolate milk stout last night. It was very good. Probably one of the better chocolate stouts I've had. Atlanta really did something right here. |
