Lamentations, & Wogh

Brother Red is missing his old monastery friends.  3 remain,  two have moved to greener pastures.  Hopefully we will unite here on this plain of existence, but if we don't see each other here I'm sure we will share a Stout Drought together in the here after.  Hopefully we'll get together before that.

Black Chocolate Stout 10% ABV

Simply the best High Content Beer I have had yet!

Sam Adams Old Ben Ale 9%ABV

The Best of the Sam Adams Homebrew winners.

Sam Adams Lemon Pepper Saison 6.something% ABV

Another of the Sam Adams Homebrew Winners. This one sucks though!

Sam Adams Mile High Barley Wine 9.8% ABV

One of the Homebrew contest winners from Sam Adams. Just came out yesterday!

Old Stock Ale

 Wow, I feel like I'm drinking Brandy or something.  This feels more like hard liquor than a beer.  I know that the Beer Advocate has given this an A- but I'm just not feeling it.  I read where one guy let one sit up for like 3 years and then drank it and it was awesome.  Maybe I need to forget about it for the next few years and leave it in my cupboard.  It is 11.5% ABV and way sweet.  I guess that all this double fermentation to get the ABV up so high really pushes these "beers" into a whole other category.  Like Bine, or Weer.  It seems that the more natural way to brew a beer is the best way.  The caramel is way over the top.  Not a big fan of the North Coast Brewery Co.  I think I liked Old Rasputin better than this.
Leaving it with a small 2 monks.
