Ommegang Take the Black Stout

April 16, 2014April 15, 2014 BuffaloJern Leave a comment

Editor’s Note: Apologies for lack of Wine/Spirit review this past weekend – PAX East destroyed me, and I was not able to get an article ready.

Ommegang Take the Black Stout: 5.0 – Much like it’s Blonde Ale made for the Game of Thrones promotion – this stout can be summed up in a single word – inoffensive. While it’s certainly not a bad stout, from Ommegang you are a little disappointed that they couldn’t do something better. Rather than risk a stout which some may like while others hate they took a general approach to appeal to masses – which while I understand, doesn’t leave me pleased about it.

Samuel Adams Cream Stout

Samuel Adams Cream Stout: 7.0 – To be fair I can only vaguely recall one other ‘cream’ stout that I’ve had, but as far as stout’s go this is supremely drinkable and enjoyable. While it may lack some of the more well developed stout tastes that you get from the bigger beers, this is just a great beer to crack open and enjoy.

Samuel Adams Black Lager

Samuel Adams Black Lager: 5.0 – I was hoping for a Guinness situation here as their black lager is fantastic (and I will often prefer it to the standard/imperial stouts); however this is middling at best – if anything this is a sign that others should do more black lagers to beat ol’ sam.

Captain Morgan White Rum 750mL

We’ve never done a white rum on here, so to start let’s go with something that’s fairly new to the market as well. The stipulation being that while we may be new to reviewing white rums, unlike what this rum would want you to feel, we were not born yesterday, and we know that white rums can do much better than this.

Berkshire Cabin Fever Ale

Berkshire Cabin Fever Ale: 5.0 – Of Berkshire’s beers this is likely my least favorite. Their scotch ale is great, and Lee and I are fans of their coffeehouse porter, and the very drinkable Steel Rail. However this winter style ale just lacks a great taste in flavor or drinkability.

Berkshire Scotch Ale

Berkshire Scotch Ale: 7.0 – This is a really good scotch ale, and for the price it’s fairly unmatched, while obviously it’s not as good as current or vintage Smuttynose scotch ale, it’s certainly the best scotch ale that you could like get on-tap.

Alright back to our previously schedule continuation of Tequila’s and other lighter South American spirits. This week we try out Camarena Silver which unlike the last two tequila’s we reviewed is one I actually like.
