foof, the 9th anniversary is called the Heat Seeking Wheat Ale. great stuff.
doug, I finally tried the Yuengling, and as is the case of getting my expectations high, I certainly was not too impressed with it. perhaps it was bottled is why. or maybe I shouldn't have tried it after finishing a Sam Adams from the tap.
btw, I had a Boddington from the tap for the first time. I thought it should have been a dark beer, like a stout, it looked more like a lager. the alcohol content is still high.
reporting from the Dive Bar in NYC..... their Philly cheese steak was pretty good.
I just bucked up and bought a 3 litre huge bottle of the Oaked Arrogant Bastard. When the right occasion comes along and I have at leat one other drinker to help me, I can't wait to bust it open.
For you stout lovers, may I suggest Lagunitas Brewing Cappuccino Stout. It may be hard to find, because it released in October for a very limited time. I found some at Hollingshead Deli in Orange, but you may find it at other places serving Lagunitas. A really smooth stout with a strong cappuccino flavor. Excellent beer on a cold night. The deli had it on tap which I sampled, and ended up buying a bottle to take home. My only regret is I didn't buy more.

A friend of mine picked up a couple of bottles for me, and I just enjoyed them about a week ago. I'm not a big Stout fan, but this was stomachable with a really nice aftertaste, not as bitter as I'm used too from Stouts. Good "buzz" with it too . . . after the two large bottles I was definately on the "happy" side of things.
Just remember that Barleywine is not for everyone. It's got more alcohol in it and it's way stronger and syrupier than normal beer. Numbskull is very good.
Another beer I tried recently was this beer from Ommegang Brewery:

I'm not a big fan of lambics either, but this one is well blended and very complex. Doesn't hit you in the head with fruit flavor like many lambics. I came away very impressed. Similar to the Russian River Supplication Ale I bought at Hollingshead. The Ommegang is available at BevMo for anyone interested.

I went in search of Old Numbskull at my local BevMo and came away with this hot piece o' ass instead:
It's pretty much the epitome of a strong Belgian Ale. I'd highly recommend it to anyone into Belgian Ales. It had a small alc. kick similar to a barleywine style ale, and was awesome throughout. A tad pricey, but well worth it. I've also heard of Stumblin' Monk, also by Alesmith, and now have to explore that, as well as tracking down some of the Old Numbskull.
