vonteego3 0 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Shouldn't a "beer of the day" thread be put together by someone that's legally been able to drink it for more than 6 months? I mean, you seemingly have good taste in beer, but I'd imagine you're not terribly experienced in selecting or describing excellent beers. Link to post Share on other sites
AAsnake88 0 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Day 2:my "tied for all time" favorite:MCEWANS SCOTCH ALEBlended red-brown-black color is intriguing though populated with short, lonely strings of bubbles. A healthy suggestion of apples and alcohol pokes through the pronounced musty odor. Thick and hearty, the strong malt leads to an enjoyably creamy mouthfeel. Taste is sweet and buttery, with a vague touch of fruitiness. The hidden pleasures of this heavy-weight scotch ale whisk you away to the mist-shrouded moors of the Scottish Highlands. The pungent, syrupy finish sits heavily on the taste buds. Darkly piquant and brawny, this beer is clearly not for everyone.Alcohol content is 8.5%Chrozzo's ranking: 12/10 stars(and just fyi...AAsnake88 had this for the first time and got fucked up after 3...hehehehehe...weeeeeeeeeee)Then proceded to finish the 6 pack, then 5 Sam boston lagers.I hate myself today, but that shit was good.

James D 0 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Can we get a breakdown of 'Chrozzo's ranking' criteria? Like, is it based on taste, texture, price, alcohol content, rarity etc.. I see you gave Mcewans Scotch Ale 12 out of 10.Or maybe it's best that it remains a mystery, how Chrozzo judges beer? Link to post Share on other sites

I see you gave Mcewans Scotch Ale 12 out of 10.Or maybe it's best that it remains a mystery, how Chrozzo judges beer?well, i factor in many important aspects of beer when I make my decisions. You cannot rush a delicate science such as this. Price has no part in the ranking criteria, if its a good beer, money doesnt matter. Rarity has no part either. My criteria may include the scent, the hoppiness (i dont care for ultra-hoppy beers), how smooth it goes down, and basically taste. I like dark beers mostly, and since many dark beers are stronger, I supose alcohol content does factor in a little bit.How does a beer get 12 out of 10 stars?becuase its tied with Delirium as my favorite beer Link to post Share on other sites
