Was fortunate to be able to have a beer tasting over the weekend. Good folks and good beer, always a great combination.
The Fantome flight included:
Saison - sour and undercarbonated, people liked this one
Hiver - funky and a touch of horse blanket, apparently I'm the only one liking this beer
La Dalmatienne - everyone loved
The Russian Imperial Stout flight included:
Stone RIS (2007) (thanks Todd!)
Stone RIS (2008)
Lagunitas RIS - I think it's off...fine upfront but something wrong in the aftertaste. Not sure entirely of what.
Ballast Point Sea Monster RIS - big winner of the flight, awesome.
Firehouse Brewing RIS - one of my favorites, excellent
Drake's RIS - solid
Dark Day RIS (my homebrew) - I know I'm partial and I like it!
From Russia With Love RIS (coffee RIS - Todd and I homebrew) - coffee has mellowed. Nice.
Others:
New Belgium La Folie - sour, very similar to a Rodenbach Grand Cru, everyone loved (thanks Brent!)
Russian River Beatification (batch 003) - very sour, people liked this one (thanks Adam!)
Cream ale (my homebrew) - comments included "very clean" and hopefully this isn't polite code for "not that great"

Wow! A great list of beers along with a few of my personal favorites (Beatification and La Folie)!
ReplyDeleteOne more note. Your cream ale was probably dubbed "clean" after all those sour beers.
