My backlog of beers to write about has grown to somewhat significant proportions. The number of beers and the realization that people who read this blog probably don’t care about tasting notes has me considering slimming down what I say. I tend to use these entries as a record of what I like and don’t like, so I think I’ll go in that direction. If you’re really curious about what these beers taste like, check out Beer Advocate.
Not bad for a stout, a style I tend not to like. I’d recommend it, but I probably wouldn’t buy it for myself.
Brewed with Chardonnay grapes, it does actually remind me of the wine with the same name. Recommended for those who enjoy white wine, of which I am not one. I didn’t dislike it, it’s just not my cup of tea.
A solid triple, with a relatively light color and flavor. Triples are my thing and this one is a good one. I’d definitely buy again.
Relatively sweet for a dark ale, I liked it. It’s harsh when paired with the wrong foods but is a lot softer when consumed alone or with earthier meals.
Heralded as some of the best hoppy beers, I don’t like them for that very reason. I can certainly understand why people like them, as many in the brewery said as much, but hops and me are not friends.
Dogfish Head Midas Touch
Sweet with a defnite hint of honey and saffron. It doesn’t rate well, but I liked it a lot. Having tried it in a tasting, I’d definitely buy it for myself.
Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron (pictured)
Very dark and very malty. Aged in a tank made from South American wood, it’s very complex with a burnt chocolate and vanilla thing going on. Weighing in at 12% ABV, this is a sipping beer.
