Clean cedar sauna nose, with ripe red cherry and a tinge of cherry lozenge in the background smoking the thinnest vanilla bean. Active head creation initially drops from the sides like ovoid soap suds back into the ridiculously effervescent diluted blood-colored pool. Really aromatic palate, packed full of bing cherry, pastry, and tart plum brandy but with a twist into an oak leaf wrapped cherry point. #kasteelrouge #inglemunster #beer #belgianbeer #stophashtagginganddrinkbeer — 10 years ago

Velvety and dark, the gingerbread flavor sneaks up on you but doesn't linger. Crisp finish, especially in the back of your throat. — 11 years ago
Flat, old, expensive. I would say I like my beers like I like my women but...wait gotta get back to my beer — 11 years ago

Lovely Saint Winefride is back, signaling the end of winter! — 13 years ago
Piercing black licorice driven nose, with root beer, ash, touch of coffee, vanilla and resinous herbs. Dark berry fruit, creamy texture but chiseled by a wall of stones, savory herbs and licorice back rich blackberry fruit and tar, has rounded out some on day 3 but holding strong. A powerful wine that is ageing slowly and gracefully despite its stature. A pleasure. — 10 years ago
This beer makes me want to take an UberX in the middle of a weekday to the nearest liquor store in San Francisco and toss one of these back standing in the aisle gnoshing on a triple size Tabasco Slim Jim while the store owner screams at me to pay for it. I love the combination of a fully hopped IPA with a darker ale backbone. Truly a double but not overwhelming. Yet again, another killer IPA from San Diego. Quite possibly my absolute al time favorite. — 10 years ago
It's been all beer recently but I need to get back in the mood for IPOB. — 11 years ago
Let me this clear as possible, Ballast Point Brewery is one of the Best breweries on the west coast, there is nothing they do that is not great to outstanding, this one is great, what over shadows it is "Sculpin" which is Outstanding, so this seems not as good, but please do not be so quick to judge, this one holds up to the style 100%, it is a excellent west coast IPA, big big Centennial hops, maybe some Columbus, seems there is some debate on that, no matter, it had a great Carmel back bone that balances the great hops, it is one beer that stands on its own, Great stuff — 11 years ago
Big kudos here, to the vintners, for providing just a little spice on the nose introducing flavors that present smoothly right after pulling the cork and results in big ole mouthful of jammy red fruit covering the entire palate with proper tannins and an easy finish resonating trails of what started as it drifts down one's throat. I found this, very affordable, yet right-on red wine at Promise Land Market (top-notch craft beer and wine bar that has become my fall hang while back home in Morehead City, NC; checkout the superb yet casual charcuterie). All a delight! (especially the people; come and see...) — 12 years ago
Burnside Brewing Sweet Heat, from Portland, Or. A wheat beer w/ 200lbs apricots, and dry hopped w/ Jamaican Scotch Bonnet peppers. Perfect balance of heat, sweet, and Weiss characteristics with a gentle spice lingering in the back of the mouth. Very good! — 12 years ago
The morons that have rated this beer before are just that... Tasteless idiots! Great ratings but make this label underrated by a undeserved palate. If you really look it up you know that there is a reason this beer was voted the best beer in the world for six years straight. It's refined and not only does the finish produce a finish, but it has a varied flavor that makes you want to come back for more. The name speaks for itself. Thank you huyghe for giving us all some love we deserve. — 10 years ago
Very easy to throw back a few. I much rather drink this than BudLight or Miller lite. 👍 — 11 years ago
Love that darn beer. Left two spots open in my wine case and flew back with it. Glad Griff had the idea. — 11 years ago
It is back, Holiday Ale, Brown Shugga, was a replaced, called "Sucks" the first year could not be made, but so much history and stories and label changed in this beer, so very popular, it is back in it's real name for 2014, great holiday ale, big malt sweetness, nice, but not over the top hops, it is a Ale, not a barley wine, even though it is close to %10 ABV, drink it fresh, because it is seasonal, and the IBU's @ 51.1% will fade, very good, please to not compare to "Sucks" two different styles — 11 years ago
