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.

Alberta Rye Dark Batch Whisky 750mL

Hey folks for the next few weeks we’ll be doing a whole bunch of whiskies back to back. We’ll change up the type to make it interesting though. As for this we arrive at another Canadian Rye, this one of a more darker variety. I’m not sure if this was aged or caramel color added to achieve it’s dark color and name, but the process (and sherry) has taken it’s toll on the whiskey itself.

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.
