I've heard the Delirium Tremens is fantastic.
I'm going to Binny's after work tomorrow and getting a Double Dead Guy, Delirium and a Rogue Barleywine.

 

agree. delerium is a great beer. gotta get that on tap.

 

Murphy's Irish Stout when I can find it
Guiness on tap
Guiness / Bass black and tan on tap
Yuengling black and tan in the bottle

Young's Double Chocolate stout when I can find it, it's like a chocolate milkshake, but beer Other Chocolate's use chocolate malt, Young's uses actual melted chocolate.

Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout, but three of them and I'm done, it's a bit strong for a beer.

Some people don't like Sam Adams, but try these two:
- Cherry Wheat, great spring / summer beer
- Cream Stout, great in a pinch when they don't serve Guiness
Has anyone ever had their Utopias? I'm curious what it tastes like.

 

Yea, the Brooklyn Black was another on my list of things to try. It's 11% or something like that.

I had this one at Rock Bottom brewery around Halloween last year. It was called Demon Sweat. It was a red ale, hoppy beyond belief. It was fantastic... and 13%

 

Are you going to the Binnys, on North Ave., in Elmwood Park?...

 

That was the plan... maybe tomorrow.

 

there's already a thread like is, but oh well...

^ never heard

My two after-work pickups.

 

^^^Never heard of those Ian...enjoy them anyways...

 

The Delirium is fantastic.

 

Does Delirium make u see those funny animals on the bottle?

 

Almost. That beer is a ninja. Very smooth and then it sneaks up behind you and turns you drunk.

 

If that's a ninja, then Jack & Coke must be the Chuck Norris of drinks.

 

I want ninja beer!!!!!!

 

Ahhh... Belgian beer! Pale Ales at that! Delirium Tremmens is the a very strong beer. 9.5% alcohol. But you would never know it by the taste. Very smooth, crisp with a flowery aroma and finish. Most places that have it on tap will only serve it in a 9 oz. goblet at a time. It has also won the exclusive "Best Beer in the World" at the World Beer Championships!!

If you want to try something really amazing, try Delirium Noel. If you can find it. Very limited in production and distribution. Runs about $60.00 a pitcher. 10% alcohol by volume on that one. It's a finisher, not a drinker. You have a pint of this for your last beer of the night to finish you off right.

And yes, the reason delirium has chosen the pink elephants as their "mascot" so-to-speak is because of a sort of inside joke with the brewers. They say its so strong it will make you delirious and hallucinate.

 

Utopias is very hard to come by! I wish I could find it. There is a place here in so cal, City of Orange to be exact called Hollingshead. They specialize in micro brews and anomalies. They are trying to get 2 kegs of utopias I think I heard the owner saying as he was speaking with the Sam Adams reps that came to his deli. But there is a 4 year waiting list I believe. Sam Adams has a VERY limited production of that beer, mainly because it is so complex to make (aged 13 years in some cases)! Its a 50 proof BEER!! 27% alcohol by volume. That is UNheard of in the beer world!

I've had the Sam Adams Chocolate Boch and their Triple Boch! Both interesting and intense brews. The triple boch resembles something like used motor oil. Meant to be sipped like a cognac 2 oz. at a time.

lol

 

Yea, I saw the Delirium Noel. They also had Delirium Nocturnum.

I'm curious about this one...
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/westvleteren-abt-12/4934/

It's the #1 beer on both ratebeer and beeradvocate.

There was this beer called Dave from Hair of the Dog Brewery. It was 29% and a 12oz bottle would routinely go for $500.
