Please describe the taste. Where was it made?
From someone with the vernacular: A - Pours jet black with heavy viscosity. Head retention is null. Lacing nil. Why should there be? This one rates in heavy from the start. There's a slight tease of brown froth where the surface intersects the glass, but it lies still and razor thin. S - The nose on this thing is something. Dark fruits, plum, raisin are the first notes that hit the senses. Oak, special dark roast, Belgian candy malt are there in faint cycles permeating forward and back behind the fruit. There's a subtle spiciness that tickles, especially after a sloshing of the glass in small circles. There's the grape. T - First moment it sloshes over one's tongue, it greets the senses with a sweet, savory, roasted malted sweetness. As it warms, the decadence is evermore pronounced. Rich flavor of dark chocolate and raspberries meld in complexity. Burgundy wine notes permeate the delicate balancing act of sweet and savory. M - Whoa boy is it thick -- but not quite as pestering as a smoked porter would antagonize the tongue. This stout is more of silk as it unfurls across the mouth. Its pleasantly alluring texture is easily quaffable as it takes up residency on the palate. Only traces of a slight alcohol tinge are there to remind one that this is a 16-percenter. Wow. O - Pleasantly brutal amongst the imperial stout offerings out there. This devil in disguise is keen to lure the most eager victims with its subtle complexities. Halfway through I feel the effects of its dominating attenuation, but lulled by its softer notes. Perhaps this will work towards its favor in my scoring as I am not the soundest or soberest of mind any longer. Aye. |

I would imagine something vinous, oaky and slight sour under some kind of big ass RIS? |
I'm on my 4th guinness this afternoon. Boss bought a 12pack back from lunch and no one else here drinks dark beer :jerkit:

I thought this thread was for good beer, not mass produced sugar water?

That's AB products, not Yuengling.

I categorize Yuengling in the same category as cheap beer such as keystone light, rolling rock, miller high life, coors original...same principal. It's not a microbrew, but compared to other brands at the same price, I'll choose Yuengling. F anything made by AB, I'm not a coors or miller fan, Yuengling is 10 minutes from my house and it's been around since 1829. I'll stay true.

I agree...I didn't mean to say it tasted like cheap beer like coors/miller, it's just priced that way. What did you pay for a case?
|
Right now I'm drinking Spaten Optimator.

I realize this is not a microbrew, however I like it so I'm going to share.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1395208396 Tastes good and its 6.9%. Bud platinum is officially obsolete in the world of cheap higher alcohol content beers. Check it out. |

Really? That's odd...I only see cases of 24 here. I guess that's the difference of buying at a gas station vs buying at a beer distributor.

I wish gas stations sold beer in this communist state. Only package stores can sell beer. And I was at the big one locally. So many craft beer 6 packs and single bottles. And normally the only place I see that 24 case of corona is when I go to a liberated state and walk down the beer isle in walmart.

Still have to go to the liquor store for the good stuff, and it's at room temp. I loved a few months ago when I was in Boston and could walk in and buy a cold 4-pack of Green Flash Double Stout. |
