BoY...in Hell!!!
I don't know about you, but I love a great beer with my fine cigar. There are so many great beers out there, but the beers I want to discuss are the premiums.
I don't think I am going out on a limb when I say I do not believe there is a beer worth $100.00 a bottle or more, but I have not tasted any of the "Extreme Beers". I guess I have spent $100.00+ on a bottle of single malt Scotch, but I don't drink a bottle of single malt in one sitting.
One of the most expensive beers is the Samuel Adams’ Utopias 2009 with a MSRP of $179.00 per 750ml bottle. The beer is 27% ABV. If anyone has tried this stuff let me know.
I have tried many of the beers that go for as much as $40.00 per bottle. My favorite is called "The Angel's Share" by "The Lost Abby". It goes for around $34.99 per 750ml bottle. The Angel’s Share is a barrel aged ale. It is aged in oak bourbon barrels for no less than 12 months. You can tastes Caramel, molasses, chocolate milk, vanilla, toffee, prunes and raisins. The beer is 12.5% ABV, so you can taste some alcohol, but it is not over powering.
I had planned on having a bottle of the Angel's Share today, but someone at my specialty beer shop recommended a beer called "The Abyss - 2009 Reserve" by "Deschutes Brewery" and I am glad they did.
"The Abyss" is a very smooth stout brewed with licorice and molasses with 33% of each bottle aged in oak and oak bourbon barrels. This stuff is incredible. Beer Advocate ranked this one the 4th best beer in the world. The price is a mere $13.99 per 1 pint 6 once bottle and is 11% ABV. It went great with my Casa Magna today.
I bought 2 bottles, one cold and one out of the case. This beer is meant to age. I will keep the unopened bottle upright in a cool dark place till this time next year.
Have you had any great beer experiences lately? :ccowboy:
