If you can find it, I highly recommend Young's Double chocolate stout. It make a really great "desert" beer and is also great in various mop sauce and glaze recipes.
if you like those beers, go to your local Meijer's and check out the Sleemans line. there is a Cream Ale, HoneyBrown and another one.. i prefer the Honeybrown
I never complain about a free beer. If I am paying I will get Guiness, any Sam adams, Maudite, La fin du monde, bellhaven, the list goes on... I love beer.
We usually have a keg of homebrewed nut brown or porter on hand for gatherings... we also like a good Scottish 80/- beer too.
If I'm buying beer - it's usually a local brewed beverage - Atlanta Brewing and Sweetwater Brewing have some nice offerings. I do look forward to this time of the year when Sam Adams brings out Oktoberfest for a while - it's a nice marzen.
I'll third, fourth or whatever on Young's DCS - it's best on tap.
I used to be a big Guinness fan, but since making my own stout for years, Guinness seems to not have as much body.
The mega beers and lite beers are training wheels... if I can't have real beer, I'll take water.
For beer, Rochefort 10, Chimay (blue), and when my wallets empty, Sam Adams Cream Stout. Most days, I'd go for a bourbon with Q though. Russell's Reserve, Knob Creek, or Bookers.
England has some great beers. Was in Manchester in the spring for a football game(soccer) and drank nothing but local brews, some great stuff. Joseph Holt was the best, also Unicorn and Bear *** were some great ones. Also Boddingtons tasted much better on draught over there. Also the hard ciders were good and very hard, some were 8% Strongbow is what is was and you can get it here in the states but its not as strong but is very good if you like hard cider.
