I've found the 90 Minute to be less than spectacular. One-, or
maybe two-dimensional. But I dare not say that here.

IAVB,M.

I've not had the 120, but I have had the WWS - a beer even I can
taste the malt in.

For two beers that appear to be made in a similar manner (one assumes
that Sam & co. didn't come up with two entirely separate processes for
making superstrong ales, anyway), they are poles apart in drinkability.
WWS is far more drinkable than the 120, which can be awfully cloying.

Who said anything about "Greater-than-Jackson?" We do not bother
with puny concepts such as "greatness." Personally, I'd rather be
drinkin' something great instead of being someone great.

See, here's where your problem might lie. I quit using my penis
to taste malt long ago. Got it shrunk down to manageable size, too.

But that Boss Porter I had with a slab o' St. Louis-stylee ribs last
night was just such a blooming fount o' malt. Really, Spot, Polish
porters: seek 'em out and dig on them, 'cause they're so great and malty
and stuff. Like dark satin on the tongue, they are.

Only in the sense that "10" is different from, say, "45" or so. But
if you talk to an A-B brewmaster, and yes I did indeed do that recently,
you will learn that all beers that go well past that "10" are, well,
unbalanced. There. I said it. I don't believe it either.

I have definitely been remiss on the Baltic Porters. The local
goodbeerlickher store (Morry's) seems to have none any more. I
thought Jackson was full of fungus-infested weasels on crack when
he said Morry's is...experiencing less glory than before. I was

Once again you focus on "Douchebag." The rank is still "Filthy."

Greenboard. Kid's clubhouse. A glorified garden shed, but it is
a thing of beauty. I even bought an 8" disco ball for it. 15"
DVD player...nicer carpet than what's in the house...redwood
common (and fly) rafters...and a gorgeous 2x6 ridge beam. The
roof-sheathing and facia (but not the drip edge) are on and the
kids are *right at this very moment* painting the interior (which
I got the finish sanding and priming done by 0800 this morning).
Well...got up at 0600, made coffee...call it 0810.

So there.

Thankyouverymuch.

Not me. Ethanol is a drug. I prefer Belgian and WestCoastUS
delivery systems (but not necessarily in that order). But you

I'm not that fond of the Coors Winterfest that I tried last month. Pretty
good balance between the malt and hops but it lacks complexity ie it could
use some spice...like nutmeg.

I'm trying one right now called Weyerbacher Winter Ale. Nice label w/ a
snowman but the beer has a bitter taste, almost like a bad light beer
and no outstanding trait except unpleasant.

Any more so far? I'm wondering about the Sam Adams Winter mixer 12 pack.

Serves you right. Jackson has evolved beyond mere snobbery, as have
many of us. To even question his brain waves on the matter is to
question your value as a beer-drinking sentient being. So mote it be.

Not bad. We knocked back a nice bottle of semillon blanc at the T-Day

That's fine. But I apparently can't taste the stuff.

The "remiss" statement was, you know, well, 'cause I'm a Pollack
(capital "P", yes), and I feel an atunemenifestation. No, a
kinship. No, a vague feeling that maybe I should buy products
from distant lands that I'm 3 generations away from. No, a
whirring sound. No, that's not it...

A shame, that. I 'bout American Pie'd my pants when I saw the
Oud Beersel Kriek on a shelf near me recently. Silly me hadn't
kept up on the Belgium [sic] Brewing News (or even the
Celebrator FTM).

I was hard-pressed to find that damn horse, but s/he was there.
Not the from-the-brewery-pink-washed experience of yore I was
hoping for.

About as sweet as that Lindemans Framboise.

The 90yo grandma and the 65yo mommyinlaw thought it was the bees
knees. I hadn't had it in a while and thought it might be a
nice departure from the usual Schramsberg (sp) Blanc de Blanc
(or whatever). I was right.

I was threatened with disownment (a substantial sum and
therefore a threat I will not take lightly) but for a similar
bottle of Peche for Xmas morn.

So **** you.

Just had to de-lurk to say it.
Haven't found an seasonal beers to my taste this year (11 six packs +
some 22 oz-ers)
Did like the He-Brew and the Rouge (SP?)
So far on the taste list (best I can remember and spelling errors not
withstanding)
Jubale Ale, Winter Hook, Snow Cap, Anderson Valley Winter Soltist, Hoppy
brewing winter something (don't remember it's name, didn't care for it),
Wasail, Snowplow porter, Shipyard Winter ale, Winter Welcome, Widmeirs
Winter Beer (Can't remember it's name), Sudwerks Winter bock and at
least 2-4 other who's names escape me right at the moment.
