Last night, Thomas and I had the opportunity to sample several new (to us) tasty brews. Necessity being the mother of invention and money being tight, our choices were limited.
We had 3 requirements of our beer:
1. We wanted something dark.
2. We wanted enough of something dark to inebriate ourselves (and being the growing boys that we are, that's at least a 6-pack a piece).
3. We wanted enough of something dark to inebriate ourselves while paying no more than roughly $1.00 per bottle.
We hit the jackpot. Two six packs of fairly great beer for 12 bucks total.
I'm sure as this blog progresses, our beer rating system will improve, but as an intermediate system, I propose this. Categories - Label (Prettiness/Badassness), Tastyness (Flavor & Finish), Color & Head, Aroma, and Overall. The scale will be based on Beercaps out of ten.
Yuengling Black & Tan
Label: @@@@@@@@@@
Tastyness: @@@@@@@@@@
Color & Head: @@@@@@@@@@
Aroma @@@@@@@@@@
Overall: @@@@@@@@@@
Stockyard Oatmeal Stout
Label: @@@@@@@@@@
Tastyness: @@@@@@@@@@
Color & Head: @@@@@@@@@@
Aroma @@@@@@@@@@
Overall: @@@@@@@@@@
The Black and Tan was the clear winner, but a buck-a-bottle stout is a rarity anywhere. I will go into more detail soon, but for now I should probably get back to this deadly boring grad school class.
Cheers! Drink Your Beers!
