The Drunken Polack

During Dark Lord Day I got to try a ton of fantastic brews.  To many to actually remember.  But a few stood out.  Oaked Dark Lord of course, BA Popskull, and a beer that just got released a few days earlier.  Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout.  Goose Island has decided to take their regular Bourbon County Stout and make some one offs.  You have this version, a very called Bourbon County Stout Rare which is aged in 23 year old Pappy Van Winkle Barrels, and a Vanilla bean version.  I think more versions are coming down the line.  Anyway here is the first different take on the beer, their coffee version.  This version has some Black Cat Espresso beans from a local coffee shop. 

When I had it at DL Day it was fresh.  The base beer itself is amazing.  But when you take it and add a little coffee, well it gets even more amazing.  If I a fresh bottle of this stuff I would of easily given it an A++ but the bottle I’m reviewing right now is one I just had last week.  Basically it’s lost most of it’s coffee flavoring and turned into a regular bottle of BCS.  Which is still amazing in my book. 

So I won’t give a brand new review of this beer since it’s pretty much the same review right here.  There is still a small coffee presence on the aftertaste of this beer but it’s no longer what it used to be.  I’m pretty much writing about this beer to let people know how this beer is aging.  I’d totally recommend having it now if you want the slightest coffee flavor.  If you want to age this bottle like you would a regular BCS, then go right ahead, it will turn out fantastic.  I believe they might be releasing this again in 12oz bottles.  Which is a fantastic move on their part.  If you spot it down the line, try it fresh.  You will not be disappointed.

What the company says: Everyday Goose Island smells the wonderful coffee roasting next to our brewery at Chicago’s Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea. They put the same passion and skill into their coffee as Goose Island does with its beer. This excellent stout is made with Black Cat Espresso beans from our friends next door. You’ll like the combination.

You’ve probably heard me start reviews like this before.  The girlfriend and I went to San Diego last year blah blah blah.  Yes another review is starting like that.  Right after we landed in San Diego we got into our rental car and sped over to The Lost Abbey for their Christmas in July event.  It just so happen that it was also Duck Duck Gooze release day. 

I picked up a few tickets to buy some bottles and while waiting in line to get those bottles I enjoyed this beer for the first time.  I loved it and so did my girlfriend, which is a rare feat.  She hates beer but she loved this beer. 

Duck Duck Gooze is labeled as an American Wild Ale.  It’s released every couple of years so you can say it’s a rare one.  It was available that day at the brewery and it was also available as part of the Sinners club I believe.  Not part of the regular Sinners Club but it was a beer you can put in your cart as an extra.  One of the reasons I love the club and it will continue to get my money year after year.  So anyway, how is this beer standing up over a year later?  Very well I must say.

DDG pours a hazy golden color.  It honestly looks like apple juice.  No head is poured and no lacing.  There are bubbles that shoot from the bottom of the glass to the top.  Of course as you get deeper and deeper into the bottle that clearness goes away and becomes cloudy.

Smell is all the way tart apples.  It’s the number one thing I noticed.  Tartness and sourness mixed together wonderfully.  I also picked up some lemon, grass, citrus, and oak. 

The taste is more sour than I remember.  It could be because of some of the age.  This time around while my girlfriend liked it she didn’t quite love it.  I ended up finishing almost the whole bottle by myself.  I never have issues really finishing a whole bottle but when there is a sour ale involved it eventually gets pretty damn puckering.  The sour and tart apples once again take front stage followed by barnyard funk, lemon, citrus, and a oaky finish.  If I could describe this beer to someone I would say it’s Acidic, tart, funky, sour apple juice mixed in with wine like qualities. 

Mouthfeel is dry, mouth puckering, medium bodied, and acidic.  Good carbonation.

I love this beer.  I wouldn’t say it’s as good as Isabelle but it’s damn good.  Bring a friend when polishing off a bottle.  My palette was wrecked by the time I was done but it’s always a good time when I get to sample DDG.  Sadly all my bottles are gone.  See you in a few years DDG.

Earlier this year I got to visit the New Glarus brewery.  I’ve stated this before and my mind has not changed that this is the most beautiful brewery I’ve ever been to.  From the view on the hill, to the cleanness of the inside and the beautiful outside of the brewery, there isn’t anything that comes close.  While there I picked up some of their Unplugged beers as well as some others.  While we were there we opened up the two beers below but since I was mixing a ton of different beers I didn’t feel like I could review them until I sat down one on one and enjoyed them again.

First up is their take on an English Porter.  Now a lot of us when we think of a porter, we think of a beer that is close to a stout.  Porters most of the time have some coffee or chocolate characteristics.  But New Glarus went back to the old times and made a type of porter I have never really experienced before and it seems a lot of people hadn’t either.  When I went into the New Glarus store to pick up a bottle of this stuff there was a sign.  The sign went something like this

“There is nothing wrong with this beer.  It was supposed to taste like this”

You see, this porter or style of this porter is actually quite sour.  People bought a bottle or two and were bringing the stuff back saying it was bad when actually it was not.  Back in the old days, porters were made like this.  If I didn’t read the sign or talk to the young lady behind the counter, I might of thought the same thing.  So how is this porter?

This beer pours a mahogany brown color with a one finger tan head.  Nice lacing throughout the glass. 

The smell on this one is woody up front with toasted malt, chocolate, toffee, and some sourness.  Like sour fruit.

The sourness really kicks in a lot more with the taste.  It’s the first thing you’ll notice.  Not as sour as say a real sour ale but it’s got a bit of a vinegar like quality with some sour cherries.  The ingredients I’m used to in a porter start to come through mid palette.  Smokiness, toffee, chocolate, and some dark fruit.  It’s than all washed away by the sourness.  Definitely a different take of a porter, at least for me.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied, rich, and creamy.  Goes down very easy.  The sourness doesn’t get in the way of the mouthfeel.

I love what these guys do with the Unplugged series.  They take some chances and most of the time it pans out.  Now on to the better of the two I’m reviewing.

Now here is a beer that I just couldn’t get enough of.  I wish I had more and more of this brew.  If you’ve had their Tart and Belgian Red brews you know they do awesome things with fruit.  This beer is no different.  While it might not be a full on stout (BA Classifies it as a Fruit/Vegetable beer) it didn’t matter to me.  The mixture of styles here is fantastic.

Cherry Stout pours a very dark brown.  It might look black in that glass but as you pour the brew you’ll notice it’s more of a brown color.  Very little head is poured and whatever is poured quickly dies.  No lacing is present. 

Like I said above, this is not really a stout.  It’s missing a lot of the stout characteristics you usually see.  No coffee, no roasted malt, etc.  It’s just straight on cherry up front.  It’s a sweet aroma.  You’ll also pick up the barrel characteristics  Oak and vanilla.  It’s lovely and something I could just sit there and smell for hours.

Taste is just as good.  With a lot of cherry beers, you might get a medicinal or cough syrup kind of taste.  Not here, it’s fresh, cherries.  They start out sweet but turn tart.  I also picked up something I didn’t pick up in the smell and that’s some chocolate.  Chocolate covered cherries anyone? Mixed in there with the oak and vanilla and you have something you just want to drink all night. 

Mouthfeel is a little lighter than you get from a traditional stout.  But it’s still smooth and goes down way to nice. 

This is such a lovely beer.  I really wish they would turn this into a seasonal or year round beer because I’d buy a ton of it.  A totally winner here.

I’m about to write two New Glarus reviews but before I bore you with more reviews check this out.  Basically New Glarus is inviting us to pick their beer line up for 2011.  The list is overwhelming and I don’t know what to pick!  More breweries should do this.  Follow the link:

First off congrats to Stone.  14 years in any business is just amazing.  I can blame them along with Dogfish Head for really getting me into craft beer.  3 years later, I’m about 15 pounds heavier and a ton less richer.  Thanks you bastards.  Anyway, so Stone decided on making an English IPA for their 14th anniversary beer. 

They took ingredients from over the pond and came up with this brew.  They took hops that are usually used in English beers.  Target, East Kent, Goldings, and Boadicea.  They imported White Malt and brought in a “Rare” yeast strain.  But of course they made the beer their own by amping up everything.  Think English IPA that is “Stonebastardized”

The picture you see to the right is a pic of when me and my buddy Jeff shared a bottle this past weekend.  But I actually got to try the brew for the first time a few weeks ago at a beer tasting at my local beer place.  Honestly I couldn’t stand it and I walked out saying it was the worst Stone brew I have ever had.  But when I tried it past weekend I ended up really liking it.  Don’t exactly know why.  Maybe it was the different atmosphere or maybe because I was sharing it with a friend.  Who knows!

First off I love the look of this beer.  You don’t see this color in a beer often.  It’s like a radioactive glow.  Cloudy, orange, and glowing.  Small white head.

Smell is not your typical IPA.  It’s spicy and earthy.  Small amounts of citrus and lemon peak through but the earthiness came through mostly for me. 

In the taste the fruits come through more.  Citrus and lemon zest.  The earthiness and spiciness still come through big here though and are the main components.  There is a nice bready malt character holding everything together.  The finish on this beer is very bitter and it just sticks around.  Small amounts of alcohol peak through.

The mouthfeel is light, crisp, and dry from start to finish.   I really enjoyed the mouthfeel on this one.

Like I said above, at first I could not stand this beer.  I wish I would of taken notes on my earlier tasting but the second time around I actually really enjoyed it.  Maybe it’s because I got to try more of it this time around. By far this is my least favorite Anniversary beer from these guys but still I like what they did here.  They took a style that a lot of the American breweries don’t touch much and made it their own.

This coming weekend I’m going to a lake to hang out with my good buddies from high school.  For the last week or so I’ve been pondering on what beer I could bring.  Something that is tasty and sort of sessionable.  Early in the week I got to try A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Ale from Lagunitas and I automatically knew then what to bring.  While not a session beer, it’s close enough dammit and it goes down so nice.  This beer is classified as a American Pale Wheat Ale.  It’s a hoppy version of this style.

This brew pours a clear copper color.  A two finger head is poured.  Fluffy, white, with great retention and lacing throughout the glass.  Bubbles can be seen from the bottom and rise to the top of the glass in a endless trail. 

Smell on this beer is fantastic.  Fruity.   Citrus, lemon, and grapefruit.  A slight amount of spice and a nice wheaty background. 

Taste is much more the same.  I did pick up more of the grapefruit taste followed by the lemon and then the citrus.  The wheat comes through really nice mixed in with a nice bready malt character.  While the beer is a nice hoppy brew, the malt comes through nicely to really balance nicely.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied, nicely carbonated, crisp, and smooth.

This beer is a total winner in my book.  I tried it’s big brother, Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’ Extra last year and this holds up nicely to it’s bigger hoppier brother.  What is so fantastic about this beer, well any Lagunitas beer honestly is that their stuff is cheap and all of it is quality.  Now why can’t other breweries be like this?

Yeah I know it’s bit a while since I’ve updated but some stuff has been going down at the Polacks house.  First off I had a new roof installed.  5600 dollars later I have a brand new super terrific roof.  But as those plans were coming together my AC Unit decides to die.  Nothing like getting a phone call from my girlfriend stating “Hey it’s hot as hell in here, something is wrong”  Sure enough the unit was a goner.  Living without AC sucks and we’ve done it for the past two weeks.  I was afraid to turn on my PC.  I might fry the bastard.  Finally yesterday the new AC unit was put in.  3800 dollars.  I’m no longer a Drunken Polack, I’ve a Broke Polack.  Oh and there is nothing like taking a closet full of beer and stuffing it in my chest freezer and fridge because I’m scared the 84 degree temp in the house might destroy every single bottle.  There’s no room for food!  But now that everything is back to normal, here is a quick little review.

Thanks to my buddy Kevin, I got to try the fabled 41% Double IPA from Brewdog.  This was try number two in their goal of creating the strongest beer in the world.  Go number one was Tactical Nuclear Penguin which I kinda enjoyed.  That was only in the 32% range.  Up there you can see how much I got to try and honestly like TNP, it was enough.

Bismarck pours a very light amber color.  The bottle opened up with a big pffffffffft but there really isn’t any carbonation on this beer.  It’s dead.  While the Penguin might of dislodged some of my nose hairs when I took a whiff, this destroyed anything in my nose.  I won’t have to clip any nose hairs for a while.  They got burned away by the huge presence of alcohol and hops.  The hops in this bad boy are just huge and it’s actually a lovely smell even though the alcohol is so big.  Huge amounts of citrus, pine, and other fruits.  Words just cannot describe. 

The taste is basically like a hop liquor.  Like they took vodka or whatever alcohol and infused it with hops.  Huge presence of alcohol that warms the throat was it goes down.  But once again the hops mix in well, they don’t totally make up for the big alcohol but it’s close.  There is a actually a noticeable malt presence but it hides pretty damn well.  

Mouthfeel is sticky, oily, and thin.  For the amount of alcohol in this beer it goes down fairly nice and it’s a good sipper.

Just like TNP, this is more of an experience and not something you would go to over and over again.  But if you like hops and I mean a lot of them and you don’t mind some alcohol thrown in (ok a lot of alcohol) then this is a beer you must try to find.  Gotta love the over 100 dollar price tag though.  Oh and if you run out of paint thinner for a project this might just do the job.

What the company says: We are wheeling out the big guns this time. Sink the Bismarck is a quadruple IPA that contains four times the hops, four times the bitterness and frozen four times to create at a staggering 41% ABV.

This is IPA amplified, the most evocative style of the craft beer resistance with the volume cranked off the scale. Kettle hopped, dry hopped then freeze hopped for a deep fruit, resinous and spicy aroma. A full out attack on your taste-buds ensues as the incredibly smooth liquid delivers  a crescendo of malt, sweet honey, hop oils and a torpedo of hop bitterness which lasts and lasts.

I find it unbelievable that I’ve never written a review on this site for a Great Lakes brew.  While I haven’t exactly had a ton of their stuff I do know they make some fantastic beers.  Hello Blackout Stout.  This time around I got to try their Double IPA named Lake Erie Monster.  I’ve been to Lake Erie, beautiful place, hard to believe the monster on the front of the bottle lives there.

This monster pours a amber color with a finger sized head.  Lacing is everywhere on this one.  Not a section of my glass didn’t have some kind of lacing on it.

The smell was pretty damn nice.  Very sweet malt aroma which I wasn’t expecting.  Grapefruit and citrus.  Alcohol is very present and it just says that I’m not a beer to mess around with. 

This is a very malt forward Double IPA.  I thought it was a good mixture of a East Coast and West Coast Double IPA.  While the malt is pretty big in the taste, the hops come through big too.  It’s a very fruit taste.  Grapefruit, citrus, melon, and slight grassy.  The only thing that might of gotten in the way slightly was the alcohol taste.  While not overbearing, it was still a little to noticeable in my mind.  If they somehow hid the alcohol just a little bit more this would be just killer.

The mouthfeel was thick, nicely carbonated, oily, and juicy. It’s so hoppy at times I felt the same way I did with Pliny the Younger.  Felt like the enamel was coming off your teeth.

After one bottle of this stuff I was good.  I really enjoyed it but if one bottle of beer can make me slightly buzzed, I know when to stop.  A nice DIPA from Great Lakes.

So what does Namaste mean?  Stolen from Wikipedia:

Namaste (Sanskrit: नमस्ते, Hindustani pronunciation: [nʌmʌsˈteː], from external sandhibetween namaḥ and te) is a common spoken greeting or salutation used in India and Nepal. It has multi-religious or else common usage where it may simply mean “I bow to you.” The word is derived from Sanskrit namas, to bow, give obeisance or reverential salutation, and te, “to you.”^[1]

When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, in front of the chest. This gesture, called Añjali Mudrā, can also be performed wordlessly and carries the same meaning.

Ok so there you have it.  But what does Namaste mean for Sam?  Basically in 2009, 3 Fonteinen Brewery in Belgium lost 1/3 of their annual production when a thermostat broke.  They lost about 100,000 bottles of lambic and gueuze.  So Sam from Dogfish Head and Leo from Birra Del Borgo got together and made this beer and served it at the Rehoboth Brew Pub.  Their goal (I’m stealing this from the DFH blog BTW ) was to send a portion of the profit to 3 Fonteinen and they wanted to use Namaste to celebrate the vibrant and creative Belgian brewing culture.  They wanted the news to get out so beer enthiasts seeked out 3 Fonteinen beers and helped them get over the huge loss. 

In 2010 they bottled the beer for the first time.  I believe it’s only available at the brewpubs and maybe some spots in Delaware.  I went up to the brewpub a few months ago in hopes I could land a few bottles but it ends up I was a week early.  So I got lucky when a gentleman on the BA forums that lives by the pub offered me a few bottles.  Last week I opened one.  What I got was a nice easy to drink session type beer that I would love to drink over and over again on those hot summer days.

Namaste pours a hazy, cloudy, orange color.  A big two finger fluffy head is poured.  A good amount of lacing.  Right off the bat you get a nice floral and spicy nose.  The lemongrass and coriander come through beautifully.  While the nose is quite spicy, it’s also full of fruit. It’s definitely the orange slices talking.  Finally a small wheaty background is there.  Good stuff.

In the taste the citrus comes through more than any of the other ingredients.  The spiceness of the coriander and lemongrass takes a bit of a backseat here and well as the wheat.  They are all present though.  Just a very easy to drink wit. 

Mouthfeel is on the lighter side and highly carbonated.  Drinkability is huge on this beer.  Goes down easy.  Loved it on a 90+ degree day.

This beer will not blow you away.  Don’t expect it to.  It’s just a pleasure to drink though.  I could see myself hitting up the brewpub and just sitting there all night pounding these back.

What the company says:  A Belgian-style White made with dried organic orange slices, fresh cut lemongrass and a bit of coriander. This beer is a great summer quencher.

Namaste was originally brewed at our brewpub in with our friend Leo from Birra del Borgo in Italy as a tribute to our friends at 3 Fonteinen brewery in Belgium, who had devastating production loss (1/3 of their annual production!) at their brewery in 2009. You can read more about the original brewing of this beer here on Sam’s blog.

For summer 2010, this beer will be brewed in a larger volume and packaged in bottles (750ml) and draft. It will be available in the great state of Delaware – both at our Milton, DE brewery and at our Rehoboth Beach, DE brewpub. We’re shooting for an early June 2010 release.

Here’s a quick little review before the weekend starts.  21st Amendment is still sort of new to our area.  I’ve tried their Hell or High Watermelon and wasn’t to impressed.  Then I got to try their draft only Golden Doom which was pretty damn good.  I think I went back to that tap three times at the Richmond Beer Fest.  Next up is their newest beer in a can, Back in Black.  Which of course is a Black IPA.  This style of beer is quickly making its rounds around the US.  The first time I had such a beer was Stone’s 11th Anniversary Beer.  I loved that beer and so did a lot of other people.  They loved it so much that it was brought back into Stone’s regular lineup as Sublimely Self Righteous Ale.  I believe that recipe was slightly tweaked but anyway that is where I think the start of the Black IPA occurred, well for me anyway.  So what did I think of this newest brew from 21st? 

Back in Black pours an almost pitch black color but ends up being a very very dark brown.  A huge fluffy white head is poured but quickly loses its battle and turns into a messy and bumpy head.  Lacing is huge with this beer.  It was all over the glass.

The aroma of roasted malt hit me first.  Followed up by citrus and grapefruit and a small amount of sweet chocolate.  When I took my first sip of this beer I didn’t like what I tasted.  It was metallic right off the bat.  But after the first sip I didn’t really pick up any metallic notes.  Toasty and roasted malt comes in followed by the sweetness of chocolate and caramel.    In the middle of a sharp taste of grapefruit comes through.  The finish leaves a bit of a roasted coffee taste on the tongue.  Which I thought the taste of this brew was pretty good, I loved the mouthfeel on this beer.

The mouthfeel is chewy, thick, and smooth.  Goes down very nicely and it really made me want another can.  To bad I only bought one.

While this is not an every drinker for me, I still really enjoyed it and it’s a welcome addition to the canned beers out there.  I am truly psyched to see more beer in cans and quality ones at that.
