Friday Night...Friends...Beer

Friends are here from out of state and our beer tasting night officially began at 5pm...

First up: Cane and Ebel...nice rye...I love rye beers...but this one is a little hoppy for me...

Second: Harviestoun Ola Dubh Special 12 Yr Reserve...hubby and the guys loved it...all I can say is if you like your beer really smokey...this one is for you.

Third: Harviestoun Ola Dubh Special 16 Yr Reserve...better than the 12 yr. definitely leff smoke, fuller body, bit sweeter...

Fourth: Harviestoun Ola Dubh Special 30 Yr Reserve...WOW...the pre-dinner favorite all around! I have dubbed this one "The Night of Debauchery" because that is exactly what it tastes like...smoke, whisky, coffee, lipstick...and sex...all wrapped in a 11.2 oz bottle. This is the heaven of beers...more please.

Fifth: He'Brew Bittersweet Lenny's RIPA, a double india Pale Ale with Rye Malt...mmm...so much better than the first Rye...and if I hadn't tasted that 30 yr Special Reserve...I would have really liked it but now I'm too distracted...

Now, this beer tasting is being interuptted to grill steaks and bake potaoes...

i think i tell you everytime you have a beer tasting..."i'm jealous" my lil town has well not a lot of selection. What you will always find in the local liquor store: Alaskan Amber, Alaskan Summer ale (seasonal),corona, bud,coors, mgd, miller lite, and (lord help me)Ranier *gag*. They recently started getting a Apple Cider that i like more then ANY of the others.
I would love to try some others. I did a lot of that in college. NO not binge drinking, but we really liked to hang out and just taste them.
Anyway...it sounds like you had a great night, and while i might be jealous..I am happy for you.*grin*
