624. Bell’s Brewery – Kalamazoo Stout
My son’s 9th birthday party was last night, and he had three of his friends spend the night. They were up late, so I’m a bit groggy today. We’re cleaning up before the family party tonight, and I took a break and grabbed this out of beer fridge. As I sit here, it’s beginning to flurry outside. I don’t remember where or when I got this bottle, as it may have been on a trip up to Kalamazoo a while ago. The...
577. Broadway Brewery – Milk Stout
I’ve been to this brewery a couple times on previous visits to Columbia, Missouri, and had decent experiences with their Pale Ale and their Nut Brown Ale. However, It’s been a couple years since I been back here and I wasn’t too impressed with the barley wine I just had. The milk stout looked interesting and was served on a nitro tap, although, I found out from the bartender that it was just a tap and not actually...
572. Highland Brewing Co. – Black Mocha Stout
This beer was sent to me by my sister’s friend several months ago. Unfortunately, there was no date on the bottle and I’ve lost track of when my sister gave it to me. The bottle says, “Highland’s most robust beer, having a very malty body with a large, roasted chocolate flavor, all achieved solely through the use of special roasted barley grains. It is black in color with a very clean finish and a moderate hop...
550. Boulevard Brewing – Smokestack Series Dark Truth Stout
I stumbled across this in the back of the beer fridge, and I have no idea when or where I got it. The label says, “Best by 10/9/11,” so it must have been a while ago. I’m watching my Mizzou Tigers taking on Arkansas and enjoying this beer before I sit down to get some work done. The bottle says, ” Roasted English malts provide a deep, rich texture, Belgian yeast Vistowes plum like fruitiness, and German hops...
406. Green Flash Brewing – Double Stout Black Ale
As you can see by my last few posts, my friend Joe and I have been out in St. Louis, hitting Perennial Artisan Ales earlier this evening. After enjoying their Vermilion and Abraxas, we headed back to Joe’s place, where he cracked open a Deschutes Black Butte Porter. It wasn’t quite time to call it a night, so Joe dug into his celler and pulled this one out. Location: Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, at my friend...
378. St. Louis Brewery / Schlafly – Oatmeal Stout
It’s the day after Thanksgiving and we headed to St. Louis to spend some time with my dad and sister. We decided to head over to my cousin’s new house to see it along with their adorable daughter. They offered me a beer while we were hanging out, and took this beer. I checked my list and saw I hadn’t had it yet, so I thought I’d write a quick review. Location: Enjoyed a bottle, at my cousin’s house in...
