Finally picked up the Sam Adam's fall sampler pack a couple days ago. I know many on here have mentioned their Irish Red, and I've got to say I really enjoyed it. Very tasty, and very true to style.

I also had the regular lager, which I've had many times, and tonight I had their black lager, which I really enjoyed as well. A pot roast spud from MacAlister's and a black lager are a pretty nice match.

I'm finishing off a Lagunitas IPA bomber. Very nice.

I like their IPA as well. Lagunitas makes several nice beers.

So I just got back from the bar, where I met up with some old friends and had the following beers:

Mission Brewery IPA - Very mediocre IPA with an awkward finish. Wouldn't buy again.

Unibroue Trois Pistoles - Really enjoyable Belgian Dark Ale. Smooth dark fruit flavors.

Rogue Double Chocolate Stout - Heavy on the chocolate, as the name might imply. Great night cap.

Very nice. I've got a bottle of Dirty Bastard in the fridge right now.

I had a Sam Adams Oktoberfest from the sampler tonight, but I'm thinking I'd like a nice imperial stout. Maybe I'll stay Sam Adams and go with theirs?

I'm really looking forward to trying the Rogue's Double Chocolate Stout. That tops my list for seasonals this year. Which, suprisingly, I haven't been able to find any seasonal brews this year.

I just had it at Vintner Wine Market last night on draft. I don't think they've got it in bottles. If you're out that way, I would highly recommend stopping buy for a pint or two.

It's over in the Arboretum shopping center at the intersection of Providence and 51.

A local brew, Thomas Creek from Greenville SC. Their Deep Water Dopplebock Lager is very nice.

I had that beer at a beer festival back in March and loved it. Have you had their Up the Creek DIPA? That one packs a punch.

Tonight I had a Weyerbacher Old Heathen. It was a unique beer, though not typical for its style (Russian imperial stout). It lacked the roastiness that is so typical of the style, and had flavors of fruits (specifically grape). Not bad, but I probably wouldn't buy it again.

Of course I paired this with a wonderful spotted dick. Delicious.

Finishing off the Dirty Bastard 6.

I thought Carolina Blonde was a NC beer. Why does it say brewed and bottled in Wilkes-Barre, PA? Someone gave me a 6

I'll be visiting the Waldhorn restaraunt this weekend. Any suggestions?

Had a stout IPA beer last night with 9.5 % alcohol. Was a little more bitter than I am used to but overall a good beer.
