Hossage Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Is it actually brewed, and not distilled? I do like a good old rasputin russian imperial stout, but those are only around ten percent. I honestly dont think Brewdogs stuff is very good.

EZC-Boston Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I had the Sam Adams Utopia recently. Talk about a stiff beer.
BuffaloBud Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I had the Sam Adams Utopia recently. Talk about a stiff beer. Got a bottle of that as a gift. It is under lock and key.
Hossage Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Got a bottle of that as a gift. It is under lock and key. Are you aging it, or saving it?
EZC-Boston Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Got a bottle of that as a gift. It is under lock and key. A good place for it. Was like drinking gasoline.
Hossage Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I was intrigued by it until your gasoline reference.
The Dean Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 I had the Sam Adams Utopia recently. Talk about a stiff beer. Never had the opportunity to try it. I tried their Millennium once, and can't say I enjoyed it that much. Like Hossage I like Old Rasputin and really like the high-alcohol beers from Unibroue (Maudite, La Fin du Monde, etc). I've had some 11% extra IPA beers that were quite good, too. But I think there is only so much alcohol you can get from brewing before it starts to negatively impact the taste.

LeviF Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 What about Steel Reserve? Stuff literally tastes like ass.
The Dean Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 What about Steel Reserve? Stuff literally tastes like ass. You understand when you say "literally tastes like ass", you are admitting to having tasted ass. It isn't great, that's for sure. But honestly, I don't think it is THAT bad. I'd rather drink SR than any lime-flavored beer, Coors Light, Ultra, or any number of weak/flavored beers or most malt liquors. In my most desperate times, it pulled me through. When you have little/no cash, a 24oz SR for $1 is a big bang for the buck. That's about the same amount of alcohol as a 6-pack of Coors Light, I think.

Think it's 10%. pretty tasty. and i know what you mean, i havent had a beer that was 12% or higher that didn't taste like "we're just doing it for the number"

Just googled it and it seems like pretty interesting stuff. Not too sweet, is it?

The stuff wasnt as bad as Steel Reserve, but it wasnt nearly as good as Golden Anniversary.
VABills Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 The crew at Beer Advocate seems to really like it: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/35/25759 They are netoreous for likely the high alchohol and high hop beer there. Some good recommendations there but you have to read because they tend to underrate some very good beer.
The Tomcat Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Southern Tier (just up the street from me!) had some nice ones. had some IPA unearthly the other day at 11.2...nice!
BillsFanNC Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Southern Tier (just up the street from me!) had some nice ones. had some IPA unearthly the other day at 11.2...nice! I picked up two bottles of oak aged Unearthly in Wegmans when I was in Buffalo for the 4th. I'm looking forward to trying it.
The Dean Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Bolded - How do you know? I don't KNOW, I said "I don't think", and we know that's true. Yeah Dean, I remember in college in ohio they had a 40 called "The Laser" for 79 cents. The stuff wasnt as bad as Steel Reserve, but it wasnt nearly as good as Golden Anniversary. Golden Anniversary as in Koch's Golden Anniversary? Terrible sweet beer. But one of my best friends really liked it. Never had The Laser.
