Dogfish Head Positive Contact

Frankenstorm is on it's way. Bread: Check. Candles: Check. Ice: Check. Beer: Check! The big storm is supposed to strike land here in NJ late Sunday night into early Monday morning, and last until late Tuesday. Kerry and I live in the western part of NJ, so we should be safe from most of it, except for local river flooding. Tonight I'll be reviewing Positive Contact from Dogfish Head. This is their collaboration with Dan the Automator (who I honestly had never heard of before this collaboration). I poured Positive Contact into my Yards Brewing tulip glass. It poured a pale orange, golden color with a two and a half finger width head. Apples, bananas and peppers hit my nose right away. The smell is incredible and strong. The Positive Contact is full of flavor, and reminds me of a smooth drinking Belgian tripel. It tastes immediately of fruity esters, mainly banana. The finish is peppery. I'm not getting any apple flavor. This beer is light bodied, with

BJCP: Strong Scotch Ale (9E)

This is the first article in a new series of posts, where I will periodically choose a section from the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) style guidelines , write about the style, and then drink and publish my tasting notes from some of the commercial examples given by the BJCP. Now, I'm not sure if I will ever actually take the exam to become a beer judge, but I think this will be a fun exercise to learn more about beer! Fair warning, I will not be doing the sections of the BJCP style guidelines in any sort of order. Whichever kinds of beer I am craving is what I will be writing about! Strong Scotch Ales (also known as Wee Heavy) comprise sub-category 9E in the BJCP style guidelines. They range between 6.5% and 10.0% ABV, and have a light copper to dark brown appearance. Obviously, strong scotch ales are all about showcasing the malt. While studying this style, I found it quite interesting that the brewers ferment out the wort at cooler temperatures than other

Beer Digest: Mission St., Hitachino, Weyerbacher

I've had some really great and interesting beers over the last week. In this new post series, I'm going to highlight my favorite beers from the last week or so. Hope you enjoy reading! Suggestions and comments are always welcome! Mission St 2013 Anniversary Ale (Trader Joe's) Steinhaus Brewing Co. (brewed at Firestone Walker in Cali) 8.5% ABV I wasn't really sure what to expect from this beer, but it took me by surprise. They say it is is blend of three different brews, and when it all comes together the final product is an imperial brown ale. There was lots of malt, a little roast, and a full, creamy body. I was surprised how fast I made it through the whole bottle. There wasn't the slightest hint of the 8.5% ABV. If more brown ales tasted like this, I would probably drink them more often. Mission St. 2013 Anniversary Ale from Trader Joe's Hitachino Nest XH Kiuchi Brewery 7% ABV Kiuchi Brewery's Hitachino Nest XH is one
