Went by the local liquor store and picked up a dozen different singles and drank them over 2 days, so as to experience the taste.


#18 Fuller's ESB (Import) Poured dark, very strong bitter but with hints of fruits. Very nice finish.

Three stars
#19 Einbecker Mai-Ur-Bock (Import) Bright copper color, malty but with enough hops to taste good.

Three stars
#20 Fuller's London Porter (Import) Poured nice and dark. 1 of 2 porters from the weekend. Chocolate and roasted malts as with most porters, but not overpowering. Very nice porter.

Two stars
#21 Würzburger Hofbräu Premium Pilsner (Import) Nice pilsner, not quite as good as an Urquell but still very nice.

Three stars
#22 Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale (US Domestic) Imagine pumpkin pie.... without the whipped cream topping.

Two stars
#23 Guinness Extra Stout (Import) Didn't have much hope for this after the Draught. Pleasently surprised. Nice stout.

Two stars
#24 McEwan's India Pale Ale (Import) There's like NO HOPS in this thing. Had a slight whiskey sweetness to it, but not overpowering like the Bourbon Barrel Ale.

One star
#25 Trappistes Rochefort 8 (Import) $5.50 for a 11.2 oz beer??? But it was damn good. Lots of different malts and hops. I can't remember so long later, but I definitely recommend this at least once.

Five stars
#26 Grolsch Blond (Import) Not much taste here. Just a hair better than mega American lagers.

Two stars
#27 Bavik Pils Import Not as good as the Würzburger, but close.

Tree stars
#28 Arcadia London Porter (US Domestic) Decent, not as good as the Fuller's.

Two stars

Trappistes Rochefort 8

That's a decent Belgian ale.


$5.50 for a 11.2 oz beer???

And that's the low end. There are domestics like Rogue's Ceramic Bottled I2PA that go for $20 for a 24oz bottle. And then there is the Imported Cantillon's Fou Foune which I paid a whopping $40 for a single 24oz bottle. Both were worth every cent. The rarer the brew, the more you are going to end up paying for it :)
