The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

How about an Ale?

 

Just not sure about the flavor of the beer. Bacon Maple. Although a friend of mine had bacon maple ice cream and said it was pretty kick ass.

 

I drank one of those - it tasted, well, like a voodoo doughnut bacon maple ale

Not a bad tasting beer, but one hell of a hangover

 

What the % on it?

 

Don't recall but it was up there, definitely north of 8%

Edit - Google says nope, only 6.5%. But plenty of sugar and smoky bits to leave you with a pretty bad headache.

 

I bought one of these a couple years ago. So good! One of my all time favs. I wish they still brewed this one

 

Ingredients:
Briess Cherrywood Smoked Malt, Weyermann Beechwood Smoked Malt, House-smoked Hickory Malt, Great Western 2 Row, Munich, C15, C75 Malts; Applewood-Smoked Bacon, Pure Maple Flavoring, Rogue Micro Hopyard Revolution & Independent Hops, Free Range Coastal Water & Pacman Yeast

 

I just saw it at a liquor store the other day - must be old stock.

 

Anyone ever try anything from Dark Horse out of MI?
@ODNAREM

 

I am going to look for it at my place too. They carry their stuff.

 

Maybe I'm thinking of the Peanut Butter one. I'm gonna look for it this week in ABQ. If I can't find it I may have to make the drive to SF for it!

 

This is a great beer to make waffle or pancake batter with.

 

@boostedka The one I saw was definitely the maple bacon - but it was spotted at Kelly's in Rio Rancho on Hw. 550 not Santa Fe.

 

Oh the possibilities. Beer bacon pancakes with a side of bacon and maybe an Oatmeal breakfast stout.

 

I like the way you think

 

Sweet. Even closer!

 

I have not but will look into their website and availability!

 

I've had a couple recently ...The Scotty Karate Scotch and the Thirsty Trout Porter. Both were really good. The scotch was pretty high ABV at 9.75% but didn't taste like it though. It was real good stuff. I recently ordered some of the Plead the 5th Imperial Stout. I'm looking forward to that. I think it's around 11%. Should be pretty sic!

 

I brewed this one over the summer. Bourbon porter. The six months of aging mellowed out the whisky flavor and let the porter flavor come through much more. Main negative is the carbonation. I was lazy used fizz drops instead of mixing in some natural sugar. Made it carbonate more like a soda. Still decent though

 

Yum. That looks dangerous.
