When I started drinking beer, I started with some of the mass produced beers. I went from Miller Lite to Bud Lite to Corona, and everything in between. After years of drinking those, they just started to taste flavorless and were not an enjoyable experience. I wanted deep complex flavors from my beer, just like I enjoy from my cigars.
As I am exploring the world of "better" beers, I have had several over the past 2 weeks:
Old Rasputin Stout had alot complex flavor that I enjoyed, but it was too intense for me. It seemed too malty, (maybe that is the right word), and had somewhat of a burnt flavor. I enjoyed the depth of the various flavors and will revisit this after I have had more experience with the "better" beers.
Arrogant Bastard Ale was good. Not too harsh and not too light. Nothing in particular stands out about this beer, it was just good and I will get some more.
Young's Double Chocolate Stout was great! I was very suprised how smooth this beer was since you could not see any light thru it. This beer has very balanced, deep, smooth flavors and was not too sweet.
Bellhave Scottish Ale was ok. It was a little light for my tastes without much flavor.
Hobgoblin Ale was ok, just really did not care for the flavor.
So you see what I like, what do you recommend that I try next?
