smutty scotch is pretty good. Maybe you're just not a fan of the maltier ales.

I do like hoppier beers. The Sam Scotch has a distinct smoky flavor that I just can't be bothered with. Enjoying the Boston Ale much more...
Try the Triple Bock. :razz:
I have. Don't really remember it though. I was in college when microbrews started to become the rage, and I tried many of them....
Oh you can't forget this one. Its the one served in a snifter, pretty-much like drinking Port, or cough syrup. Same texture, at least.
I remember it being strong and in a funky blue bottle, but that's about all I remember about it. Those days are a tad hazy... :lol:
True dat!
Yeah, the bottle was pretty cool. I had a friend who we talked into chugging one of those. Hilarity ensued....:dunce:
I tried the porter I made last night. Quite good, although mellow as far as porters go. Distinct chocolate and coffee flavors, very little hop... maybe could have used a bit more bite. We'll see how a tad more aging works out for it. I'm thinking a beer like porter I'm so used to have such complex flavor probably could have benefitted from a secondary fermentation before bottling.
You could dry hop after racking, but for a porter, at least, you'll be running the risk of over-hopping pretty heavily. Of course, then you'd have something like a bitter, and there's nothing wrong with that, either.
I just realized that Modern Homebrew is only 2 T stops and 2 blocks from work. Huzzah!
My friend that runs 2beerguys.com has Sam Utopia and allowed me a sip. Very nice tasting brew, tastes more like a scotch or bourbon than a beer.Have you guys seen the Sam Adams Utopias? 25% ABV... They have a bottle of it on the counter of my local package store. Price tag, $160. :-o

Yeah, I was thinking very small amount of dry hopping would have done the trick. I need to dedicate a notebook to this so I retain such knowledge rather than making it again the same exact way and then thinking the same exact thing the next time I drink it. Because that's something I'd probably do.
SA Honey Porter tonight for me ..
You convinced me to have one right now .. :beer:
