I don't know if there is one near you, but Total Wine is a great place to try beers, they usualy have a whole section dedicated to beers from around the world, and they usualy have a large amount you can buy as a single...that way you don't have to make the commitment of a six pack about something you haven't tried before.

Rogue's Black Obi Morimoto Soba Ale A Oregon beer made out of japanese ingrediants. As the name iimplies this beer is made with buckwheat as welll as some sort of infused rice and three different types of hops. The result is a black ale on the heavy side (not as heavy as porters or stouts) with sweet flavor and a strong aftertaste of what I would imagine is buckwheat. In my opion this beer is too sweet for sipping because repeated small tries just build up an almost overly sweet buckwheat aftertaste. However, taking larger gulps actually seems to make the end flavor less sweet. The bottle recomends having it with pork or smoked fish, I however tried it with raw and smoked almonds, quite excellent combination, because the food does not bring out an alcoholic heat from the beer.

i have recently been exposed to two new drinky drinks!!! LOL. first off i must say that jell-o shooters are divine. but only in cherry and with good vodka. we tried some with cheap vodka and you could tell it was kinda cheap but tasty none the less. also i tried an "irish car bomb". itsa glass of guiness with baily's irish cream. you pour your glass and try to get as little head as possible. then you pour your shot or bailys. hold the shot over the glass and drop it in. it will cause a reaction and start to foam. as soon as you drop start chuggin! the bailys adds a sweetness to the beer and makes it creamier. its good but strong.

I drank an really delicious German Wheat beer the other day, but now I cannot remember the brewer. Either way it had a delicate vanilla finish that was the most natural vanilla flavor I had tasted in a beer.
Name comming....now, Julius Echter Heffe-Weiss ( remembered I had my score card from the bar in my pocket.)

Jagermeister has been replaced as my favorite alcohol, now well, it's #2 on my list because last weekend I discovered Jr. Johnson's Midnight Moon Carolina Moonshine. It doesn't bite as hard as vodka or rum and makes a really smooth accompaniment to orange juice. Unfortunately it is only sold in the Carolinas and Mississippi at this time- so some of us will have to wait to get some. A bottle of this is sure to make it to AZ next year.

Interesting story: Jr Johnson is a early nascar ledgend and moonshiner/runner...the stuff is based on his pappy's receipe ....I saw this on a History Channel special.

My Dad used to have the hook up and knew people who made moonshine and elderberry wine, so he got the real stuff years ago. This is the closest thing that I have had that was close to real moonshine- sure it's a little weaker than the moonshine I had years ago, but that is to be expected with it being produced in a controlled area and not in a still in someones barn. It is good stuff

Damn I can't belive it's already almost 4pm!!!!
Anywho...it's been awhile since I wrote anything here so I was gonna do some catch-up.
Cuvee Mystique this is one of the lesser known Belgian Abbey ales, which may explain why the flavor was nothing to write home about. Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad, but I still prefer the selection of Omeganga or the other more famous Belgian ales.
Sometimes when I'm in the mood for something sweet and light I pick up a lambic beer, this is another Belgian creation. I am not sure of the exact process of making it but the result is not exactly beer flavor (in the traditional sense) but more like a wine cooler or a alcoholic fruit beverage, but not as unnaturaly sweet and fake tasting. Unfortunatly one bottle costs as much as a six-pack of smirnoff ice, so they are not exactly cheep. Great as a desert beverage.
A little while ago when T and I went to the Orlando Greek Festival I tried a Greek beer called Mythos. Very light and crip with a nice citrusy finish. I could see myself enjoying these in large quantities on a summer day cause they are not at all strong (atleast they dont seem to be). I am not sure where you would regularly find these but if you are eating Greek and have the option I recommend having one with your meal.
Old Peculier English 'Yorkshire Ale'. I am not tottaly sure what makes a Yorkshire ale except that most of the Black Sheep Brewery sellection is also such. I fould OP to be a slightly lighter style stout-esq beer with some more carbonation and less creamyness. It still have a nice heft to it with a semi-sweet chocolate flavor and a nice smooth finish. Definatly something to try if you like heavier beers. The Publix by my house started an end cap of import and micro-brew beers and that's where I found it. I am about 1/2 done trying the various beers housed there.
Samichlaus This is a very strong 14% aged malt liquor that they brew once a year and keep in a cast for atleast 10 months before bottling, making this beer quite rare. This process makes this brew not only very strong but also extremly sweet with a strong alcoholc heat as it goes down. Very much of a sipping beer I would the overal taste too extreme.

" Eating Greek"... isn't that a sexual position? Anyway, Old Peculiar rules. What a great beer.. has long been a favorite. Samichlaus is messing with high explosives.. if you can get thru a bottle consider yourself a veteran. Greek Festival..hmmm.. that's the only festival that the parade marches backwards?

stoud's fat dog American, Imperial Oatmeal Stout from Penn (i belive). If I had not read the lable I would not have guessed that this was an oatmeal stout, I mostly tasted a rich creamy bitter chocolate taste and only now knowing about the oatmeal do I detect it's hints in the brew. By no means is this a bad thing, fore this has been one of the best stouts I have had in awhile. It has a good balance of heavy, creamy and most importantly a good balance of the bitter chocolate. I have had stouts that tasted like drinking pure baker's chocolate. Perfect for a cool nite.
