One of these days, I am going to stop writing about beer. Then, you guys are all going to come crawling back, begging for my famous beer posts. Until that day, I will continue writing.
Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig Ale is a very fine ale that I found in my recently purchased holiday 12 pack. I was actually trying to avoid this beer, because I usually don’t like ale, but I figured I would give it a go ahead this time around.
I’m tellin’ ya, this is a great tasting beer. The spices the fellas over at Sam Adams put in really wake this one up. As far as regular ales go, I think they are rather light. To me, it’s like drinking a Coors. Fezziwig Ale has a full body and a great finish. How do you like that?

Here is what Beer Advocate thinks about it. They gave it a B+ with 676 reviews. I would give it a B+ too.

I think I may be the first person on the planet to return a six-pack of beer. Oh well, they had it coming to them.
Today, I ran over to the local beer place and handed them the bad six-pack of Gritty McDuff’s Black Fly Stout and replaced it with a four-pack of Celebrator Doppelbock by Ayinger Brewery. I must say, this is a rather well tasting beer with great reviews over at the Beer Advocate. It’s pretty rich with a nice smooth finish. They even gave me little plastic rams on each beer.

It’s a pretty good beer that I would consider buying again.
I am still searching for another black, slow dripping, syrupy beer that sticks to my ribs. So far, the only two that have come close were the Brooklyn Brewery Black Chocolate Stout and the Samuel Adams Double Bock. These were truly fabulous beers. I know, I know, they aren’t for everyone, but as long as you give them a good try, you’ll make me happy. It’s like telling your kid to eat his peas, just try the beer.
For my next brew, I am going custom. I am going to get on the horn with the people over at MakeBeer.net and talk recipe. I want it thick. I want it rich. No excuses and no more lazy thin beer. I will throw a few Hersey bars and coffee beans in there if I have to. By the way, MakeBeer.net has a new blog where they do talk recipe, so if you are interested, stop on by.
Cheers.
