Oskar Blues G’Knight Imperial Red Ale

BuffaloJern Leave a comment

Oskar Blues Goodnight: 8.5 – This was listed for high octane and it’s a bit more alcoholic, but this solves the issues where some reds are a bit too tart. This though has gravitas, and quite frankly it’s fuckin delicious. I got this at a bar, and quite frankly I’m glad that we do this site. I feel like others would see the can, and dismiss it out of hand –  which is sad for who great the beer is.

Editor’s Note: So this is not a challenge post. We are still doing the challenge, but having passed the halfway point the finds are now much harder.

Harviestoun Old Engine Oil Black Ale

Old Engine Oil Black Ale: 6.0 – That tastes exactly like you would expect a beer called old engine oil to taste like. It goes down easy – there’s a bit of porter flavor, it’s nearly flat in carbonation, and the color is exact. If honest I am not actually a huge fan of the beer drink wise, but I admire the honesty in the name to bump it up a point.

McEwan’s Scotch Ale

McEwan’s Scotch Ale: 4.0 – So there was a scotch ale (which is a beer type I adore) that we mostly hated – called Wet Willy. Now that was actually hated simply because it was so basic and average. However this is more like Old Chub, not only is it a not good scotch ale – it’s actively bad. However take that 4 score with the mindset that even a bad scotch ale is still just a supbar beer.

Michelob Lager

Michelob Lager: 1.5 – I want to go on record as not being a huge fan of St Louis – and if their shitty well-known beer is this it’s not endearing. (I know local brews and all that, but Boston’s mark on the world is Sam Adams, and that’s quite servicable). Not to take too much time, but this is much like Heineken, a beer I don’t understand. It’s not particularly potent to make you drunk faster, and it’s not really beer-tasting. It manages to fill the space of just being bad at it’s job in both ways, and that the only reason to have this is because maybe you want to leave a bit tipsy, talk or quietly ignore the people your with at whatever bar you get this, and pee a whole lot. In short, it’s bland, weak, and terrible.

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout

BuffaloJern Leave a comment

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout: 6.0 – It’s a little more dark and almost Porter like compared to the stout possibly imperial style. It is overall a more rich flavor, but I prefer the black Lager or original if I’m honest. (FYI: I’ve tried to determine to little success if this is exactly the same as the Special Export needed in our Beer Poster Challenge, if it is hit me up in the comments)
