I would need about 8 beers in me before I tried anything called "Seaweed Ale".

Enjoying an Augustijn tripel in an over-sized wine glass.



A nice, smooth, fruity Belgian ale. Not one of my favorites, but really enjoyable.

It's brewed here in Scotland.

No would be my guess.

Finally opened my Founders KBS:



And wow.

Thick, heavy, creamy...heavy coffee and dark chocolate on the nose, and that's a lot of what you taste. Plus hints of vanilla, bourbon, and roasted malts. Hides its ABV quite well, too, especially considering that this year it's at 11.2%.

Very complex, very intense, and very delicious. No wonder these sell out so fast.

Having a Dark Horse Perkulator Coffee Doppelbock.



Not bad. Heavy burnt coffee and roasted malts, finishes pretty bitter. A little too light for a doppelbock, though, especially a coffee doppelbock.
I might try it again, but I'm glad I only got one bottle.

But they are famous for Scotch! :D

Here's my latest favorite: Balvenie Double Wood 12 yr. Great with a splash of water




And my seasonal summer favorite just came out again. Cream ales really are the best. This is Buffalo Bill's Orange Blossom Cream Ale. Just divine. :)

This sounds amazing. I must look for this. :)
