Dieu du ciel - Peche mortel

I had always seen this on the shelves, and new it was supposed to be great but I knew no french. I thought it was a peach beer. Turns out it is an imperial stout brewed with coffee. Pretty darn good, and a great surprise when I poured it :-)

Notch Session

Gonna have a Bell's Expedition Stout later tonight. Batch Number 9971

This is a good IIPA, brewed with just 2 malts (2-row + white wheat) and 2 hops, Amarillo + Columbus.

Amarillo has become my one of my favorite aroma hops.

I love that beer. Deadly Peach! (not really)

Finally got around to cracking one of my bottles of Gnomegang.

Too bad I won't be able to get any of this, looks amazing.

Nothing special here just some Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy.

Shiner 102 anniversary double wheat, good beer from a great little brewery.

Three Floyds Brian Boru Old Irish Red

Bell's Amber Ale
Bell's Third Coast Old Ale
Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot

I enjoyed a Sierra Nevada Black Vapor today, at the brewery!!!

Very dark beer (stout like), very nice!!!

I'm going to get a growler full this week!!!

Had a Great Divide Grand Cru last night. Really good, complex--I should have taken a picture, I've never seen a beer with that much ruby color

I just have Coors Light.

Last night we had a little tasting:
Arcadia Bourbon Barrel Aged Shipwreck Porter
Brooklyn Black Ops '11
Founders KBS '10
Founders KBS '11
Lexington Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale
De Struise Black Damnation II Mocha Bomb
Founders Breakfast Stout
Hopping Frog BORIS

We compared these blind. I was surprised we all thought Black Ops got overshadowed and we rated the Arcadia higher than it. The KBS was tops, with the '11 at #1 despite being a tad hot and the '10 #2 having significantly less coffee flavor.

How was the Black Ops? Ive got a bottle chilling in the fridge. Last night i enjoyed a few Sierra Nevada Torpedo's:-) and way to much Labatt Blue.

I had 2010 Black Ops fresh, and 1 yr old. Much better fresh IMO. Yes it was quite warm (very hot to some..) but with a beer like that I think it goes well. I expected it to improve greatly, but it ended up being very toned down. Good, not great.
