An Apology

I'm sorry kids. I have been busy and then lazy. and I know I have been neglecting the blog. but I have had some tasty beer at a few places.

Places I have been:

• The Latest Dish (on 4th between bainbridge and south)
• Eulogy (2nd and chestnut)
• Local 44 (spruce and 44th)
• Lucky 13 (13th and passyunk)

Beers I have had:

• Kiuchi Commemorative Ale 2008 (9%)- a must try at The Latest Dish and there is a cute owl on the bottle
  
• Allagash Dubbel (7%) - also at Latest Dish
• Green Flash Bourbon Stout - got this at Local 44. God. So good. Drink it. Now. Go!
• VooDoo Vader (9%) - Lucky 13 had this tall glass of dark goodness.

I promise to update more regularly.

Beer of the Week

Beer Number 2. Southern Tier Imperial Choklat Stout.

I have had 2 beers now from Southern Tier Brewing Company. This stout and the Back Burner Imperial Barley Wine Style Ale and let me just say that this brewer is on the fast track to being one of my favorites. The Imperial Chocklat Stout is dark, smooth and finishes like a damn good dark chocolate which is due to the chocolate malt and the bittersweet Belgian chocolate it is brewed with.

I was worried it was going to be sweet. Turns out it wasn't! It isn't sweet at all which I believe is a great thing. Occasionally when drinking a beer that is sweet, the sweetness is good at first and then it becomes nauseating as the pint goes down.

JF Opinion: "Oh God!"Dark and delicious.
Bottom Line: Drink this beer now. I am.
