What beer did you drink today?

For a distinct change of pace from yesterday's Southern Tier Raspberry Wheat, today I popped open a bottle of "Eleven" from Ithaca Beer Company's 'Excelsior' series. It's a great, very rich stout - brewed with Sumatra coffee.

Had two Cask beers at a local bar:
Real Ale Coffee Porter
Saint Arnold Christmas Ale

Both were creamy and delicious
 
Deschutes Inversion IPA and sampled 21st Amendment IPA in a can :0
 
Anchor OSA 09 tastes like jasmine...very weird and I can't stomach it. I have around 3 left and can't bring myself to drink them. It has no roasty/porter flavors and tastes like flowers to me. Very weird...
 
I'm gonna pick up some Anchor Christmas Ale this weekend, and I'm hoping they'll have some of the 08 OSA as well.

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout! :love: Damn this beer was GOOD! I think it's my new second favorite behind Westy 12 and Founder's KBS. I have got to get some more before it disappears. I was attempting to get a growler of it and missed it by a few days! :( Maybe next time.

No I haven't John but it's going on the list. I don't know what it is, but anything with "bourbon" and "stout" in the title gives me the tingles. :laugh:

OSA 09 is definitely different than OSA 08. Can't really decide which is better. Don't get jasmine but totally agree with you, the 2008 is much more porter/stout qualities.

Just drank an OSA 09 and I have to agree. Flavor is a bit different from last years fresh. Its a bit floral but still not over powering. We will see what a few months will do.

It was the 2009 release but not in a bomber, just a 12oz. bottle. I didn't even know this came in a bomber! I have to find out if they have them when I go back to get more.

edit to add: St. Bernardus Abt. 12 yesterday evening after a long and trying day! God I love Belgian Ales!
