Wow, so I guess you would rate this as a 5 on my scale--Liquid Perfection. Didn't work so much for me. That's what I love about this. Two people can taste the same beer and have very different reactions. Since I rated it a 3, I'd be happy to drink it again, but you'd have to buy it for me.<br /><br />Bill & Gordon, I couldn't find the FES. It appears that was THE beer I should not have missed. I'll look for it tomorrow.The Not So Professional Beer Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509910363270635578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234485456024491380.post-55666773016832532612011-03-16T16:25:26.198-07:002011-03-16T16:25:26.198-07:00BTW..Belmont has a good Stout tapping tomorrow.BTW..Belmont has a good Stout tapping tomorrow.Gordonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234485456024491380.post-34256744160180726462011-03-16T16:17:02.666-07:002011-03-16T16:17:02.666-07:00Third on the Foreign ES.Third on the Foreign ES.Gordonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234485456024491380.post-52919328135942313602011-03-16T15:36:26.516-07:002011-03-16T15:36:26.516-07:00Second the Foreign Extra Stout.

I actually like it better than the FES, which I find is too much of a good thing. Draft Guinney obviously too little.<br /><br />That tang and that roast....damn, I'm going to go get some of that for the weekend.Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-234485456024491380.post-24051846915936982752011-03-16T07:22:27.649-07:002011-03-16T07:22:27.649-07:00FYI for your next post:

The "widget" (their word) in the can reacts to pressure, and dispenses all the nitro when you pop the can. Then, you can pour that into the glass.<br /><br />The Foreign Extra Stout is actually the tastiest of the three (IMO). <br /><br />I've been enjoying your posts. Keep up the good work, and enjoy the beer!Ellhttp://www.bamasportsreport.comnoreply@blogger.com
