Sun Nov 05 05:53:19 -0800 2006 20330 theboatmanscall 1 2004671 That Brother Thelonius is intense. I went to and wrote about the 'unveling' of that beer in Santa Monica last April for a jazz magazine. Ended up with many bottles. It is very rich - huge flavor, and very strong. I typically do not like sweetness at all in my Belgian beers and prefer white stuff like Blanche de chambly. But Brother Thelonius is incredibly delicious and very well-crafted, even using the mild sweetness it has to keep my tongue on its toes. I think it's very good, and much more drinkable than alot of trappist beers.

His signature Total Domination IPA is over the top. Sorry currently only availabe on draft. Fri Nov 10 21:29:14 -0800 2006 1998012 51569 ergozum 1 2014437 I have had the Lenny Bruce R.I.P.A. (the R is for Rye, as I recall) and it was very good. I was a little skeptical of the He'brew beers at first...I figured that they probably thought that since they had a good marketing gimmick they didn't need to worry about the quality of the beer...but it's very good. The most amusing name for a beer I have seen recently is "Kentucky Breakfast". It's a double stout, 10% abv, which was one of the highest-rated beers of all on beeradvocate.com. I believe the brewery is in Michigan. It was described there as having the color and consistency of used motor oil. Sun Nov 12 00:14:53 -0800 2006 1998012 10324 jkent 2 2029525 The He'brew tag lines always make me chuckle- Messiah Bold "the beer you've been waiting for" etc. The one time I made it to Chicago for the Real Ale Festival, before it folded, we had Flossmoor Station's "Train Wreck of Flavor," which was literally that, and quite good.

The brewer can give his brews some peculiar names including: 1) Over The Hop IPA 2) All Fuggled Up Amber 3) Dunkel Sam 4) I’ll Be Bock 5) Alt! Who Goes There?

Wed Nov 15 02:19:18 -0800 2006 1998012 34704 Luwak 1 2022540 The Belgian beer Delirium Tremens has always made me chuckle when I see it in the store. At 8.5%, it can live up to its name the next day if you spend a full evening taking it down. Wed Nov 15 02:32:22 -0800 2006 1998012 46064 punelle 1 2029375 'Dead Guy Ale' from Rouge - and totally unrelated, the hot sauce called 'asbirnin' that comes in a little asprin bottle... Fri Nov 17 07:58:24 -0800 2006 1998012 25999 Herm 1 2030288 I like TEA (can't remember who makes it but very appropriate for my family) and 'old tom' which has a cat winking on the bottle. Though the biggest laugh was when I turned up an old boyfriend's flat with a few bottles of 'duff'. I kid you not. It actually wasn't bad, a dark beer rather than a stout, still makes me smile. D'oh!

It has a nice full flavor, and the aging process in a whiskey barrel adds a great, uncommon flavor in the background. If you like full-flavored beers, it is a must.
