Is it me or does the Guinness draught in the bottle with the widget taste flat?

I tried that Guinness draught one time, and I found that it left a really strong burnt wood aftertaste. Its the only stout that I don't like. Thinking back I think it was pretty flat, like the widget didn't do much. But I drank it out of a glass, and I've heard that you're supposed to drink it out of the bottle, so maybe that's why? It definately didn't have the head that other widgetized ales do.

WingWalker Amber Lager I had not heard of this brewery before moving to Florida. Plus their lables looked interesting, it spoke to me of microbrew goodness. So I bought a six pack of the Amber last weekend, since we were in need of some brews. There was four or five varieties of WingWalker but I went with the Amber cause it mentioned it was made in the Marzel style. I had had a Marzel from Saranac and I had really liked that. I don't know if it's because of last weekend's overdrinking or what, but after finishing of the last bottle last night I decided that I did not care for the brew that much. There is something about the taste that does not sit right.

It was certainly better than the average goober-swill from the 7-11.

I have found that any beer is tolarable after a few shots of Jagermeister, and then a few more shots of vodka. Tasty.... ((Thanks for the congratulations card- It made me smile))

I tried it last year. It was pretty good, as most holiday ales are. The picture is awesome after you've downed a few. Some places are banning it because they think it targets children. You know, all the 5 year olds who love beer.

<b> Troublette Belgian Wheat Ale</b> A very tasty beer with a noticably strong lemon aftertaste. This has been one of the most refreshing new beers I've tried in a while, perfect for a warm afternoon. Plus it comes in a nice big pint size bottle. Not as cloudy as some other wheat beers, it does retain that style's golden collor, and crispness. U even get to play with a cork, if you like that sort of thing. I have not tried it with much in the way of food, but it does go well after some strongly flavored nuts, I had them after some spicy smokehouse almonds. If you like wheat beer this one will not disapoint, and should be available in SC since it is 5.5%

Macau Chinese, the lable looked fancy and I had not tried it before so I thought "why not" The beer inside was nowhere as fancy as the lable, however it was far from bad. Generally I would describe it as Yuengling lager from across the ocean, which in my book is not a bad thing, just not worth the premium it costs. '33' Export Vietnam, not a very fancy lable or beer. There is a silouhet of a large cat on the lable that reminds me of the Lynx bus systems logo here in Orlando. While it wasn't anything fancy it wasn't bad, once again it's the same situation as with the Macau, not really worth the premium and time to find and buy. Tucher Bajuvator A German Doppelbock that is well worth its price. Dark and rich with a pronounced mapple syrup aftertaste, that is somewhat on the sweet side, but only pleasantly so. I would describe that taste as typical doppelbock style, but only the way the germans can do it. Somehow doppelbocks from other countries have come out tasting too sweet, or too maplely. If you wish to have something creamy, sweetish, and full-bodied but don't want to go full out with a porter or stout a good german doppelbock is your ticket.

Stella Artois A mainstream Belgian lager with a suprising amount of sophistication. Light in body with a smooth flow and taste and a hint of that citrusy flavor that most Belgian beers have. We discovered it at Outback when we went for my B-day dinner. I liked it enough to buy it in a 12pak and I was not disappointed the second time around. It's nice to have a Belgian beer that is available enmass. Stella is especaily good with spicy and heavy foods, I've had it with cajun and asian and it complimented both quite well.
Recently I tried Blue Moon agian, this time on daught and I had to say that I quite liked it, I ended up having 4. I don't know if I will like it in bottle but I will test that out when the opertunity arises.

Yet another one Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted This is an multi-award winning beer from Scotland, but I was not too impressed while drinking it. Tastewise very similar to the taste of a medium strenght Belgian ale, with a citrusy kick, maybe a tad stronger. Only after finishing the glass do you get the nice mellow bitter taste that lingers around. Overall an enjoyable brew to make you feel a little like u are in an English pub.
