Anyone else a fan of Kilkenny? Can't get it here in the US, but it's available nearly everywhere else in the world.
Any other beers you would compare to the 1554? I have had a lot of Belgian beers, but can't remember any of them being referred to as a Black Ale.
Bells Two Hearted – a staple in my fridge.
sobelman's now carries more exclusive beers like a few I had at VOX up around north ave or at The Abby. I can't remember the name I think it was Magic Gumball er something (a good beer whatever the name but tough to drink more than a few in one sitting). Another one they added was a 24?oz Tall Boy That Tom Crean's Tanning Bed was telling me about last week.
recently tried beers1554 - not sure who recommended it, but it was sub par. sorry.
Bell's Oberon is a great summer brew. I have heard that it is better with a slice of orange although I haven't tried it yet.
Anyone have any recomendations for Oatmeal Stouts? I'm impartial to Samuel Smith and Goose Island, but I would love to expand my horizons as they say.
Big fan of anything Bells, including Oberon (sans orange). If you enjoy the milk stouts, you should try Bells Double Cream Stout. Very good beer. I just recently tried Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale. Very solid. Anyone have any recomendations for Oatmeal Stouts? I'm impartial to Samuel Smith and Goose Island, but I would love to expand my horizons as they say.
Let me translate for Ari, ye of developing beer tastes:1) Magic Gumball=Three Floyd's Gumballhead. White ale infused with hops. Kind of a cross between Lakefront White and an IPA.2) The 24 oz. Tall Boy=New Belgium Fat Tire. Only sold/served out of 22 oz. bottles. Medium ale, exceptionally smooth.
Gumball is more of an APA than IPA. More citrus hops than bittering. Hense it is part of the American Pale Wheat Ale class. And it is damn fine beer to drink a lot of.
Had what according to the waitress was New Belgium's seasonal wheat, but the name she gave us is not on their website (nor do they claim a seasonal wheat), so I'm not sure what it really was. Either way, it was merely decent.
