3/17/2010: Its been a while since I have had a stout, so time to go back to my conmfort zone. This is the third of the “fore” series of stouts by Dark Horse that I am trying. The smoked and blueberry stouts were both great beers, so hoping this one is also.
Smell is a ton of roasted coffee, with some dark malt scent. Tons and tons of flavor for a beer with a low/mid mouthfeel. Coffee is top of the list, followed by a solid lactic (milk) sweetness, ending with a dry hop flavor. So much flavor, my brain keeps telling me this beer should be thicker but I think thats why its so good. I also had no clue this was an 8.0% ABV beer, I would have guessed no more than a 6. No sign of the alcohol at all. If you see this on the shelves grab a couple.
Picture of the day: ****NOT SAFE FOR WORK**** Also not a picture, if you guys haven’t read it yet, check out the texts that Tiger sent to one of his mistresses.
hey, I had the Unibroue Trois Pistoles earlier tonight. Man, that was tasty, hehe, so fruity. I liked it, unfortunately I sort of had to rush it, but I definitely enjoyed it.
Nice dude! what kind of glass did you pour it in?
Unibroue makes some good beers. If you liked Trois you will love the others
Umm, the glass was a… sort of shortish, wide mouth Guinness pint glass, wider than the normal shape.
I still haven’t tracked down a chalice, so I’m saving the Rochefort 8 until then.
Dark Horse makes some nice beers. Right now I am enjoying the most recent releases – Double Crooked Tree IPA and Plead the 5th Imperial Stout.
Nice dude I dont think I get either of those down here. I will have to keep my eyes open for them. Are they both new?
