Since its finally cooled off "for real", I just picked up some Brooklyn Brewery Octoberfest, and some Duck Rabbit Schwarzbier. Can't wait to get home and start sampling.

Cottonwood makes this pumpkin ale beer that's pretty tastey. Only seasonal

It is indeed pretty tasty (and in my opinion the only really good beer brewed by Cottonwood).

I love the Duck-Rabbit Schwarzbier, and black lagers in general. I wish more breweries made them; they really hit the spot as the weather starts to cool as well!

If you want to try another good one, seek out the fall sampler from Sam Adams. It's a solid sampler all the way through.

Dubhe imperial black ipa. 9.2%

Not sure how you pronounce it, but its black,.hoppy and strong. I had two at brixx and I'm glad the wife is driving. Grade A stuff.

Sorry for the hiatus: what's everyone been drinking?

I drink stouts all year, but especially enjoy them this time of year. I've also had a few smoked beers I've liked recently, and I picked up a 12-pack of Sierra Nevada Celebration. I always look forward to that one.

[Guest]

Celebration is always nice.

Finally picked up some Dogfish Raison D'etre. I was always leery because of the raisins but man its good. 8% so one was enough for me on a work night. I love Dogfish beers.

Trying some new stuff:

Lagunitas CENSORED Rich copper Ale

I give this an A-

For a copper ale, fantastic balance and a slight tangerine after taste without much overbearing flavors

Higland Gaelic Ale

People here probably have mentioned it before...one of my favorite beers along with New Belgiums 1556. Great stuff...I recommend both beers!

Trying something I've never seen before. Tommy Knockers Imperial nut brown and maple nut brown. Both use maple syrup in brewing and are decent. I won't buy them again though.

OK boys. I just popped a bottle of Dogfishead - Miles Davis Bitches Brew. Wow. Big stout with honey beer and some African root. Wow. 9% alcohol and a 25 oz bottle. I'm gonna get buzzed. :)

Awesome. I've got a bottle but haven't tried it yet. I missed it when they first released it last year.

I have had some insanely good beers in the past few days. I was sick for a week (still sort of am) and took a hiatus from beer to recover. Had a rough day Thursday and decided to celebrate with my favorite, Founders KBS.

Then last night, I went to Duckworth's. They were doing flights of Olde Hickory's recently released "Event Horizon," which is also a bourbon barrel-aged stout. So I did a flight, which had Olde Hickory's regular Imperial Stout, '10 and '11 Event Horizon, and Event Horizon from a cask. They were all insanely good, but the '10 is just out of this world.

Prior to that I had a barrel-aged Ten FIDY. Again, wonderful.
