Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale

Oh Dogfish Head. The makers of one of the best IPAs and from what I hear go through a lot of research for all of their beers. This is a dark beer that does not have a strong taste though you can tell that Dogfish Head uses caramelized sugar. This Indian Brown Ale is not very crisp/ carbonated but it gets the job done. This would be a good dark beer to easy novices into more potent tasting dark beers.

How it was tasted: Out of a glass at Flying Saucer in Austin.

Rating: 9/10
1-2= Disgusting
3-4= Not worth the calories

7-8= Good
9-10= One of my favorite beers

Unibroue Trois Pistoles

You know you are having a Unibroue when you are having a delicious and artistic beer. So besides the epic art what else makes Trois Pistoles so great?

This is a strong dark ale which is refermented in the bottle. Trois Pistoles has a sweet taste as well as a pleasant aftertaste. You only catch a hint of chocolate, brown rum and spices. I ended up drinking this beer by the pool but I would not recommend it. It would be best enjoyed chilled in a glass and sipped on while perhaps smoking a cigar with your friends.


How it was tasted: by the pool. Not recommended.

Molson Canadian

Molson is owned by Molson-Coors Canada Inc. , go figure. So when you think of Molson you should think of Coors not only because of the name but because Molson has a similar domestic beer taste. This isn't a beer to write home about but if you want to fly your Canadian flag high while pre-gaming a hockey game, then this is the beer for you.

How it was tasted: out of the bottle by the pool.
