Doing this so late after I had the beers makes it a bit hard to comment. Anyways…
Paulaner’s Oktoberfest Bier
Type: Wheat Ale
APV: 6%
Location: Germany
Brewery: Paulaner
This beer had a great spice to it perfect for the season. A very full malt flavor. Smooth enough to have with a meal.
Lindeman’s Framboise
Type: Lambic
APV: 3%
Location: Belgium
Brewery: Lindeman’s Brewery
If you have never tried a Lambic, I strongly recommend it. Even if you can’t stand beer, I suggest trying a bottle. A lambic is generally a light, carbonated beer that is then added to a ton of of fruit (Raspberries for a Framboise) and aged. The beer contains several layers of taste. It is very sweet and is almost mistaken for a spumante. I was served the beer in a brandy glass as the bottle was 25 oz in the shape of a wine bottle with a cork to boot. Framboise is the perfect dessert beer.
Mc Ewan’s Scotch Ale
Type: Ale
APV: 8%
Location: Scottland
Brewery: Scottish Courage LTD
All I can say about this beer is “wow.” It kicked my ass. It was a very dark ale, much like the Elderberry Black Ale I mentioned before, however rather than the fruit back flavoring, there was a full on taste of what could have been mistaken for a shot of Scotch whiskey in my beer. I tried eating with this beer and it was a grave mistake. If you like the strong, dark ales this is a definite try. I suggest a frosted mug and to not take too long drinking it. Once it becomes warm, it becomes a challenge.
