So last night I was at the Asgard watching the Sox beat the Rays, drinking beer.
Second inning, a nice 12oz Saison Royale from Harpoon's 100 barrel Leviathan series. 9%, Boston beer. White pepper and rosemary. Classic.
Fifth inning, I commit to a 22oz. bomber of Clipper City's 'Big Dipa', a serious double IPA. Monster hops, 10%, Baltimore. Like 'Loose Cannon's' big brother. A solid pairing with some charred steak tips.
Ninth inning, dessert. I share a bomber of Southern Tier's 'Creme Brulee' with the bartenders. This is an absoulutely incredible beer. Huge pure vanilla nose. Possibly more vanilla than vanilla. The promised burnt sugar and creaminess on the palatte. There isn't anything bad to say about this beer. It's so well constructed that it doesn't need to be a dessert beer. It isn't even particularly sweet. And it comes in at a manly 10% too. Find some and drink it now.
