Stone Imperial Stout, and
Beamish:
Stone is an Imperial style stout, but it's in no comparison to BJ's Tatanka, as it's reminiscent of Young's Double Chocolate;
Beamish
- real creamy head, wish I had an actual pint glass at home instead of the Big Gulp
plastic cup I was using from 7-11
- what sets this apart from Guinness, in my opinion is the glimmer of berries or a back of the
tongue fruity tart taste
- I really liked this beer, I'd set it as a tie to Guinness...now if I could only find a pint of
Beamish
Rogue Shakespeare Stout
- ooh, a "World Champion Stout"
- not bad, not great, an American Stout brewed in Oregon
- thin, dark foamy head
- it probably would've helped had I eaten something before or while I was imbibing this
bevergage (like a bloody medium rare steak)
Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout
- I was in awe while I was pouring to see that the bottle was actually clear, the only
translucent stout bottle I've seen so far
- took a while to get through the foamy head
- it was only in the latter course of my drinking once the beer started to warm up some that I
began to taste the actual oats
Young's Double Chocolate Stout
- Man, what kind of chocolate did they use here? Hershey's...I think not.
- tasted like that dark bitter chocolate no one likes mixed with malt, hops and alcohol
- the alcohol's the only thing I liked about this beer...once I'd finished the pint I was
tipsy a bit, or was it nauseous?
- really upset my guts, I could've kept an air balloon afloat for quite some time
Black Seal Stout
- had this down at the Rock Bottom Brewery in downtown Long Beach
- good creamy head, and real dark body
- I actaully had a steak with this, and the meal in its entirety was exquisite
- needed a cigarette to compliment the mix
Tatonka Stout
- the only Imperial style stout I've had since I can't find a bottle of Stone Imperial
- the first time I had it, it took me the entire pizza (it's a BJ's brew)to finish
- considerable alcohol content
- a great beer, I'd have gotten another pint had I another hour to stay
- the BJ's on 2nd street has a better brew than the one in Cerritos
BJ's Oatmeal Stout
- hmmm...it's an oatmeal style stout
- what else....it's brewed at BJ's
- Their porter had more kick
Guinness Extra Stout
- yarrr, a great beer for monthes at sea since it has a higher alcohol and carbonation content
- a good diagonal step up from regular stout whenever you feel like changing things up
- a more puissant espresso and wood taste than regular Guinness
- a six pack and a lackadaisical afternoon pair hand in hand perfectly
Guinness
- In my opinion, the standard for all stout beers
- creamy head and a dark body that's a site to be seen as a pint's being poured and settling
- damn Costco doesn't sell the 24packs anymore, rat bastards
- definitely tastes better direct from a tap, but then the order goes cans, then bottles
