carlfense Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Not a big stout fan. A little too heavy, but wouldn't mind trying it. Any idea if you can order it out of state? I don't think so . . . I think it was very small batch and only available in kegs. Too Far North is actually the only place that I know of that serves it. Quote Link to comment

tschu Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'm currently drinking (of course I am) some Empyrean Dark Side Vanilla Porter. Definitely my favorite offering from this local brewery. Chaco Canyon is also good, and their seasonal stuff is always worth a try. Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 If you're into stouts, you MUST try this: It is like 7-8 bucks for a 650mL bottle, but if you're looking for a nice treat you will absolutely not be disappointed. Sweet, syrupy, dark with a nice thick mouthfeel (giggity). Chocolate makes up the base, but other coffee and very slight fruity notes there with some bitterness. I mean this stuff is absolutely top of the line, best you can get. So effing good. (of course if you don't like stouts and dark beers then don't waste your money) Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Has anyone tried that sweet angel from empyrean? hows that? Quote Link to comment
tschu Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Guinness foreign extra it's mother milk. This too. You'll have to get it at HyVee or The Still, and its $10-$11 for a 4-pack, but it is good. Don't let "Guinness Draught" fool you...that sh#t was introduced in like 1975 and beer drinkers scoff at that watery stuff. Foreign Extra is the real Guinness, the stuff that the Irish drink. And it is fantastic. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Has anyone tried that sweet angel from empyrean? hows that? Fallen Angel? Yep! Good stuff if you like a less bitter stout. I was happy to see that they offered it in bottles this year. As far as I know it was tap only in previous years. Get some quick . . . it usually doesn't last long. Quote Link to comment

BIGREDIOWAN Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I'll have to try the Foreign Extra...............I've had Guiness a few times and wanted to puke, but everyone says the stuff in Ireland is amazing! Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I see a lot of New Belgium products have already been listed but some of their must trys are; Fat Tire, Sunshine Wheat, and Abbey. The Abbey is an amazing Belgian style ale with unbelievable notes of banana esters derived from the yeast they use. If you like Hoegaarden, Abbey will more than satisfy you. If you have to have lots of hop character or bitterness, this one isn't for you. Abbey is the beer that started New Belgian Brewing but Fat Tire is the one that took off for them. I like most all their brews except for their high dollar artsy fartsy iambics and stuff that tastes more like wine than beer. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 This one: Don't do it. It's too f'ing spicy to enjoy. Quote Link to comment
