Oso planning to go pro
Moon Man is a go-to for me. Every time I'm up for an MU game, stopping at Woodman's in Kenosha and picking up a case of Moon Man is a must.I really wish they were still selling Engima right now too.
It's decent.It's no New Glarus Blacktop. That is a tasty IBA.Have Fixed Gear in my new kegerator right now. Looking for another tall 1/4 barrel to accompany it.
Picked up a bottle of Dreadnaught last week. Cracked it open after a half day at work today, and wow.I've been up and down on 3Floyds, but this thing lives up to it's reputation.Not light on the bitter, but not overwhelming. It's a fruity hop explosion with I'm tasting peach, mango, orange, lemon.A bit pricey, but well-worth it for an occasion.
I had Dreadnaught both bottled and on tap and didn't think it quite held up to some of 3 Floyd's other beers. I was a much bigger fan of the Rye da Tiger as I thought that Dreadnaught committed the one sin (in my mind) of IIPA - it was too sweet. I know that a lot of malt sweetness is somewhat to style in IIPA, but I thought Dreadnaught overdid it.Then again, that's just like my opinion, man. What other beers from FFF have you found good/lacking?
I think the Cheese Castle has a bottle of Rye da Tiger on their shelf, I was going to get it but they called my number for lunch.Alpha King - Really, really good.Robert the Bruce - MehGumballhead - Overrated? I didn't think it was bad, but I think I was expecting more than I got.Zombie Dust - AwesomeI've had a few bombers of others, having trouble recalling at this point.
Apocalypse Cow is awesome (DIPA with Lactose)Arctic Panzer... Pretty good IPA.. but pretty boozy.Rabid Rabbit... meh, but I don't really care for farmhouse ales.Darklord... GLORIOUSMoloko... I'm partial to milk stouts, but this one is damn good... really chewy
Darklord sucks!!!! Most overrated beer in the world. Tastes like hot soy sauce. I am sorry but that beer is just hype and hot garbage. I have bottles I will trade for anything but no one will take them.
I will trade you. Anything up here that you are interested in? (Madison area)And to be fair, I had Darklord aged in Cognac barrels. I should have mentioned that above... and it was awesome.
Have you had any of Karben 4's beer (I think that's their name). New to Madison - moved into the old Ale Asylum facility. I work with a friend of the owners and want to know how soon I should try to make it from MKE to Madison to check them out.
Agree mostly, though I love Robert the Bruce. Do you not like Scotch Ale or just that particular Scotch Ale?
Also got to try some 3 Sheeps (new brewery in Sheboygan) and reccomend people give them a look. Their black wheat Ale (Baaaaad Boy) is a cross-over beer like Spotted Cow but with some good roasted malt flavor. Not an award-winner by any means, but it's good to see a new brewery making a beer that might garner them some popularity.
I've heard hype around 3 Sheeps from some coworkers in that area. Don't they brew some liquor out of there as well? Do they have a Waterslide or Rollercoast beer? That's what the guys were talking about. Need to keep an eye out for them.
I like Dreadnaught and must confess I like Alpha King from time to time. Zombie dust not so much in fact did a tasting of that and Hopslam about a week ago at Hooligans and without a doubt I prefe Hopslam. Never had the chance to try Darklord.I like scottish ales but Robert the Bruce never did it for me, hell, I like Rock Bottom's Naughty Scot better. Try New Glarus Winter Warmer for a scottish ale, I'm liking that one too.
Dropped into Woodman's yesterday to pick up some essentials for the snow, so I got 6-pack of 3 Sheeps Really Cool Waterslides.It's surprisingly good.Like Anti-Hero it is an easy drinking IPA. Not a mouth torcher at all, but still gives nice flavors. Checks in at a light 6.2% for an IPA. Nice caramel flavors to start with a mid-range citrus mouthwash. Follows up with a bold pine bitter aftertaste.I give it a 3.5/5. Will buy again, especially when mixing beers.
Has anyone tried MKE's Hop Happy?
