Beers 41-53

The following beers took place between Thursday October 4 and Saturday October 6. Yeah I'm not sure when we drank these exactly, but in general we just called it Big Bottle Birthday Weekend!

Ommegang
This beer was very enjoyable. It went down easy and the favor was impectable. Matt thought it smelt like a musty basement, but he's crazy...the smell was sweet and hoppy. Wes felt that if he had this while watching a movie it would be gone by the end. We give this one 4 unanimous steins out of 5

Tripel Karmeliet
Heife-weissen fans should definately try this beer says Wes. There was no strong after taste and I really liked that. For Matt this was another beef-jerky beer. Matt didn't enjoy it but Wes did so there was a stairdown. It was very heady, but at the same time it had a taste that a wine drinker would enjoy, which is why I loved it. 4 out of 5 steins

Saison De Pipex
If I didn't know this was a beer I would have thought I was drinking wine. It smells like apple sauce or apple cidar. The taste is of a blush apple wine. The only thing that set this beer apart from a wine was the carbonation. We gave this one a soid 4 out of 5 steins

Huyghe Delirium Tremens
I don't remember much about this beer to be honest. I do remember that it had a very hoppy taste and that it wasn't too bad. Matt was complaining about the sediment in it cause hes a bitch. 3.75 steins out of 5

Kasteel Bier
This was nasty beer! Wes is werd so he really liked it. All I remember is that it tasted like shitty saki. BOOOO!!!!! 2.5 steins out of 5

Young's Double Chocolate Stout
Stouty, Chocolatey...amazing!!!!! I think its like heaven in a bottle. It was just a damn good beer 4.5 out of 5 steins

Unibroue Maudite
"If I was in the mood for a spiced Belgin ale would definately drink this" -Wes Predicable taste of a Belgin ale, but nothing that special about it. We felt that is was good but we could have likes it more. 3.5 out of 5 steins

Magic Hat Blindfaith IPA
It has the normal IPA smell. The taste isn't over-powering, and it goes down smooth. Matt said that if wasn't so difficult to find he would drink it all the time. 4 out of 5 steins

Black Sheep Ale
LAME! It was an okay beer, but it wasn't anything special. Why is it a black sheep there isn't anything very different about this beer. You could distinctly smell the corn and the hops used in the brewing process, but other than that, eh. 3 out of 5 stiens.

Hobgoblin
Very good english dark brew. It's amber color and taste reminded us of the Newcastle, which we really enjoyed. The taste was sweet and hoppy with an additional little something that we couldn't really place. 3.5 steins out of 5

Spaten Muchen Hells
This beer was nothing special. Average taste, smell, and color. 3 steins out of 5

Burton Bridge Empire IPA
Heady at first, but slowly goes away. Has a really odd bubblegum taste to it. This has got to be the worst beer we have had. Matt was getting a hard alcohol taste, Wes didn't like it, and I kept getting a differnt taste each time I had a sip. It was just bad, there is no other way to discribe it. 1.5 steins out of 5

Dogfish Head 120 minutes IPA
Before I give the review I just want to say that we were really excted about this beer...and then we tasted it. I had one sip and couldn't drink anymore. My stomach hated this beer. Luckily the guys are awesome and drink my share too. The faces the guys were making when they were taking down this one were great. We gave this a 1.25 out of 5 steins only because of the high alcohol content.
