"Not Your Father's Root Beer".

 

The place that has it on tap won't serve you more than three.

^ Shit, I just heard something about that the other day... is it like actually an alcoholic root beer? Where do you get it?

Wow it sounds amazing? Yeah it's a spiced/herbed beer or root beer that's 19.5% abv lol.

No wonder the bartender will only serve you 3.

not my normal style at all, but i'm a bourbon fan and this caught my attention. like drinking bourbon and eating chocolates while standing over a campfire that's melting even more chocolates, or getting your dick sucked by a chocolate wolf. amazing. i'll probably stumble down to the pub and get another of these later. 11% abv and it tastes too good.

hah yeah, 98% on beeradvocate, wild!

LOL getting your dick sucked by a chocolate wolf?!

wth haha

you haven't had this beer, man

I'm on the lookout for it now! Never had my dick sucked by a wolf so. first time for everything. lol

edit I hope it goes easy on me, no teeth.

tonight i have been in a French bar (Gazette in Balham - highly recommended if you're down that way - really lovely people) drinking Westmalle trappist tripel bier - 9.5% and Delirium Tremens biere blonde - 8.5%... feel lovely actually - if i'd been on the Stella all night i'd feel a hell of a lot worse, i guess it's the quality of the brew.

Those are both good beers bcm boss!

I like the dts but it has to be really cold for me to enjoy it.

yeah i think i preferred the westmalle, but the delerium tremens was realy nice also, luckily both were served cold and in the proper glass by a very friendly frenchman who called me monsieur and said things like et voila! when he poured the beer.

i wouldn't drink more then 2 of those, these are some brutal black hole beers

Oh yeah, they are sippers for sure.

I tried Sierra Nevada Bigfoot for the first time. The barleywine.

Sometimes the best beers are available freakin' everywhere and are hiding under our very noses while you're looking at some limited edition super special barrell aged mofo.

curiously fruity ipa from alabama. normally, i wouldn't partake- but i'm with a couple of dames with whom i have grand designs to make very pregnant so i consider myself invited

^ can confirm that these 2 above are excellent

CESAR belgium triple 8,5% vol

It's alcoholic, alright. I had two and I was stumbling around like an idiot.

I had it in Libertyville, IL, at Chili U. Goes down like any root beer soda I've ever. Apparently, it isn't being distributed, so you can only get it on tap in the Chicago area.

Mmmm I need a way to get hold of decent Belgium beers. My local Tesco and Sainsbury are pretty useless though the British beer range is excellent. And those behemoths have made sure no independent wine merchants exist. Tricky.

I'm drinking Erdinger, usual supermarket fare. I'll pop down my local later and have a few pints of Rebellion, very tasty beer from Marlow (Thames Valley) There's a Heart of Darkness link there.

I meant that with the demonizing of cartoon characters for adult product mascots, those faces would not be seen on a domestic brew.

Oh ok I understand. That makes sense. They are pretty sensitive to that here in Canada too. Marketing in general actually. In certain parts of the country here, commercials aren't even allowed during childrens TV programming.

Can you imagine like... Barney brand cigarettes? Babar brand lager? lol

this sucker right here. Insanely good. Incredibly powerful hop nose, like a mix of citrus and weed. Tastes almost synthetic but not in a bad way at all - like some kind of future tang-beer designed for mars.

Only available in CT as far as I know, certainly going to miss it when I leave.

That looks great, love the deep gold colour. Is it bitter or more on the sweet side ?

it's mind-bendingly bitter - can compare it to Green Flash palate-wrecker but more lemony.
