Lee has sampled the Art of Darkness from this line and it was a great beer – this is more subpar. It’s like standard Allagash beers versus their Black.

Dogfish Head Chicory Stout
Then we come to a fairly well known (at least in New England) beer-maker and their spin on a stout, and while Shipyard’s Blue Fin Stout from beats it – it’s not bad.
Out of Bounds Stout
We decided to review some stouts at our Beercation and first up was Out of Bounds stout, and while it’s certainly not an awful stout – it’s really not worth your time to go out and try it.
Dragonslayer Imperial Stout
FUS ROH BEER! Seriously though I was in a wine store having picked up some nice wines, and the beer that we’ll review in the coming weeks, but there was a lack of stouts. Except for this one, and considering my recently acquired sword I felt like enough of a nerdbag to pick this up.
Ayinger Ur Weisse
Well, well, well these other countries think they can do beer? They know nothing time to show them the correct way to beer – the German way. And the sad thing is (at least for America) is that the German way is right. We all agreed that while this beer isn’t inherently manly – it’s the best tasting thing we tried, and a damn good beer.
Guinness Draught
Then we’re in the Irish Isles with the beer that’s become synonymous with class, distinction, and brilliance. I am of course talking about Guinness. Guinness is fantastic and getting it on draft is one of the best simplest pleasures life can offer you. I think all of us can agree regardless of the scores: Guinness isn’t the best beer in the world, but it’s one the best beer you can get in any bar worth a damn, and not be turned away because they don’t have it.
Bakalar Amber
Who else but the Germans have a clue what they’re doing when it comes to beer? The Czech’s, because despite being Czech I refuse to spell it out fully. We all really liked this beer, and though the German was better in our minds this is a great beer to have.
Sabeco Saigon Export
Now let’s head to Vietnam. One of us (Huanlai) actually hails from this country which means he’s a communist immigrant. Who loves capitalism and has often said that America despite what people say is pretty sweet. That aside this Saigon Ale is about average in terms of taste, and its low score really reflects value and manliness. They don’t say anything, even the Vietnamese is just information on packaging.
Tusker Lager
Now we head south for a little bit into the wilderness known as Kenya, where there are Kenyans. It’s here we prove that while your beer can be manly that doesn’t make it the best. Which considering from our first review of Highland Park – A scotch made by an man named Magnus and made under a church makes a lot of sense. It was manly too, but it was still just mediocre.
Grade 9 Extra Lager
Ahh, and so we head to the ice cold land of Russia. With a beer we feel exemplifies the beer of the working class Russian. This means of course to us snooty beer tasters in America that this beer doesn’t taste that great, because we’ve yet to have the privilege of working in a Russian factory. Regardless though it’s a fine beer, and it feels like they put vodka in it (the creamy aftertaste) and considering the higher proof – they just might have. Considering Russian workers don’t need to read this bottle has nothing to say.
