tyrion Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Mike what do you think of that DFH? Nearly bought a 4 pack of it last week but decided to pass. I'm a DFH fan but got away from it for a while as so much other beer has become available down here in the last couple of years. I started watching Brewmasters and I got back into DFH. I like the PSM but it's 12% so jog for everyone. Bell's Hopslam on tap...what can I say?...those who've had it know...I'm first on the waiting list for the new 5L mini-kegs...bottles have already arrived... I like the Hopslam. I was able to get a few 6 packs last year. I guess I need to call my source to see if they are getting any in.
emelius Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 lemme know if you have any trouble...can easily ship...going rate here is $17.99/sixer...hoping that the 5Ls won't be $50, but i wouldn't be surprised...quite frankly, i'm more excited about the return of Tr

Knuckledragger Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Macallan Cask Strength, to warm me up after spending entirely too long outside taking pictures. Wee hee ho.

Absorbine_Sr Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 George T. Stagg Barrel Proof. With a touch of water.
Voltron Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Stagg rules. Here is what my last Anvil night is looking like:
Voltron Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 99th Anvil List cocktail: Tom & Jerry using the Jerry Thomas recipe recited by Jim previously, although with a single egg, 2 oz of Zacapa and .75 oz of Maison Surrenne. Not bad, and not all that different from some of the other warm nog-like drinks. I need a pro to make one of these and see what it is really supposed to taste like. And 100 of 100 on the Anvil List: The Zombie or as the Stork Club Bar Book calls it, The Zombian Using Regan's Joy of Mixology recipe with an addition of passion fruit syrup because I bought it not remembering which recipe I was going to use: 2 oz anejo rum (Zacapa) 1 oz light rum (Appleton) 1 oz dark rum (Black Seal) 1/2 oz fresh lime juice 3/4 oz pineapple juice [1/4 oz passion fruit syrup] 1/4 oz apricot brandy (R&W) 1/4 oz 151-proof rum (Bacardi 151) Angostura bitters to taste (2 dashes) Shake and strain into a tall glass 3/4 full of cracked ice and garnish with mint sprig and fruit and a straw. Pretty tasty but I put in way too much lime -- read half ounce as juice of half lime -- and the addition of the passion fruit might be throwing it off a bit. Still tasty and potent! Here is the last drink of the list, up close and personal fin
manaox2 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 I hope it is finally time to invent "The Al".
luvdunhill Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 now that you've finished the list, what are you going to do with yourself, Al? Savoy!
agile_one Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 99th Anvil List cocktail <snip> ... And 100 of 100 on the Anvil List <snip> ... Glad you got that over with, Al (picture Mike, JP, and me applauding). Care to rejoin the purists with just spirits and strong beer again?
tyrion Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 99th Anvil List cocktail <snig> And 100 of 100 on the Anvil List
shellylh Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Congratulations Al!!! Nice pictures as well. As Marc said, Savoy may keep Al busy for a while.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 I had Unibroue's Terrible last night -- I think they're underselling themselves, because it's actually not bad. Unless they were going for hoppy, because it was malty malty malty. Yes, I tasted a little bit of hoppy, but did I mention malty? Because it completely overpowered the hoppy, and not in a "complex" way.Weyerbacher Tiny An imperial stout with the mouthfeel and drinkability of a soda? Wut? Dude, you need to start taking everything I like, and use it as "opposite" advice -- Ghost in the Shell: Innocence, beers, pussy/dick -- we just don't agree on anything.

I wasn't expecting to like it, but I was curious to try it since it's so cheap.
manaox2 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye. I really like it. Reminds me of an affordable Sink the Bismark, sweet, a little salty, but most of all hoppy without a lot of bitterness.
tyrion Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 I have a few Hop Rod Ryes on hand. Unfortunately, I have to order from your part of the world Scott but at least I can and the cost isn't too bad. DFH 60 followed by a Weyerbacher Fifteen. I love the smokey goodness.
The Monkey Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Mai Tai. My first attempt. Tasty potential.

emelius Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 love Hop Rod Rye...Ten Fidy too... got a sixer of Expedition Stout...
Augsburger Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais, very tasty and a screaming deal on a cru Beaujolais.
