Crusty Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Inquisitive minds want to know: How old must milk be to turn into beer? Silly boy, they don't use milk but in all seriousness there is something called Milk Stout that used to be quite popular when I was a lad, you don't see it much now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stout#Milk_stout http://allaboutbeer.com/article/milk-stout-2/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjay Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I see The Four Horsemen describes itself as a bar, not a pub. Which probably explains it. :clin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major duck Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Any one ever tried this one It was a little strong 15,3 % my father used to get a case of these for our x-mas Christmas lunch, even though they had that much alcohol they where quiet "round" in taste and with snaps your could get very tipsy fast :bigsmile: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt DeFault Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Picked up a six pack of this tonight: Brewed by Devil's Backbone Brewing Company in Lexington, VA - my home state. I like it a lot. 8%, relatively mild. Sort of a chocolate/coffee taste. Would definitely buy again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt DeFault Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Got a six pack of Franziskaner Weissbier today. Very mild. Not my favorite, but I like it. Come to think of it...I don't think I've found a beer I don't like yet. :biggrin: It does smell a bit off to me, though. Kind of a musty smell...hard to describe. EDIT: I looked up some reviews of this beer which describe the smell as a combination of cloves and banana. I'd have to agree with that. But that combination is just weird to me. Still tastes great, though. :drink: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjay Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 What is it that makes a beer a 'stout'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 As usual with beer varieties the definition has become a little blurred over time, Here's Wikipedia's take on it.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StoutI've had beers marketed as Porters that are far stronger than some Stouts so the definition of whether a beer is a Porter or a Stout would to some extent lie with the brewer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Recently had this beer from the Badger brewery, very nice and hoppy, personally I like all the beers from Badger brewery, their beers are all different so there is a nice variety to choose from, quite possibly my favourite big brewery here in the UK, my only gripe is there are none of their pubs near me, they're mostly based in the west country, oh well that's another reason to go to the Tank Museum then :luxhello: http://www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicatt Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 As usual with beer varieties the definition has become a little blurred over time, Here's Wikipedia's take on it.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StoutI've had beers marketed as Porters that are far stronger than some Stouts so the definition of whether a beer is a Porter or a Stout would to some extent lie with the brewer.Here we can get Guinness West Indies Porter which is a very nice dark porter at around 6%abv and the Guinness Special Export Stout is 8%abv rather than the 4.8% you get in the UK.When I was in Brugge a couple of weeks ago I had a stout called Hercule after Hercule Poirot it was very nice and came in at 9%abv washed down the burger I had just a treat http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/635/1694/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt DeFault Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Tried some Paulaner and Weihenstephaner recently. I like them both. I think hefe-weissens are becoming one of my favorite brews.
