We used to serve Killian's on tap.

I like Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale.

Yes - NBA is awesome. I guess when you say "dark" I think more of
stouts and bocks. (BTW, Sam's Smith's Winter Welcome - when you can get
it - is incredible, probably my favorite beer. It's not dark either,
though.) Leinenkuegel Bock, Murphy's Stout, Spaten Opitmator, and
Beck's Dark are a few we have drunk over the years, but Negro Modelo is
the one we still drink fairly often, because it's easy to get, fairly
inexpensive and quite good. I generally prefer a porter, myself. And
I like pain ole Bass Ale on tap, when it is fresh.

Killian's is made by Coors. I haven't had it in years, but I actually used
to enjoy Killian's Red; I didn't know Coors made a dark as well.

How about Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout? I love the Nut Brown Ale as well,
but the Oatmeal Stout is my favorite from SS. Another one I really enjoy is
Newcastle.

Deschutes Obsidian Stout is amazing, as is their Black Butte Porter.
You can't go wrong with anything from Rogue brewery either, such as
their Chocolate, Shakespeare, or Imperial Stouts.
RedHook's DoubleBlack Stout is ok if you like a shot of espresso
in your beer.

RedHook might be the only one of these that is distributed much
beyond the US Pacific Northwest.

Deschutes Obsidian Stout.I don't find it to be bitter and I like to
have dark chocolate with it! Since we can no longer get Obsidian (no
longer living in the US), we have to suffer with homebrewed stuff.

Ahhh...another Obsidian Stout fan. I forgot about Black Butte Porter.
Have you had Mudshark Porter, Trout Stout, or Poseidon's Imperial Stout
from Fish Tale Ales (Fish Brewing, Olympia, WA)? When I lived outside
OLY-WA we would just go to their brewpub to partake of those.

If I'm not mistaken Felinfoel removed the name "Dragon" from
any of its ales a few years back, due to a trademark issue.

I'm drinking a clone of New Belgium Brewing's 1554. Sure, my buddy's
is a little better, but if his is any indication, 1554 is an awesome
Brussels style black ale. Kick'n my butt!

Guinness is a good beer, especially on tap. But despite how "heavy" it
tastes, it is relatively low ABV. (under 5%)
and actually has about the same carbs and calories as a Budweiser. I've read
that in Ireland, nursing mothers drink it to help their bodies produce milk.
But that just be an excuse for them to drink in the afternoon ;-)

A few good (strong) domestic, easy to find, darks a Anchor Porter,
Anchor Old Fog Horn (expensive) Sierra Nevada Porter, and any dark from
Stone Brewing.. Thee are lots of others, but these come to mind. Fun to
experiment.

I like a sharp cheese along with these types of beers.

Why would you assume anyone knows what ABV is? Sometimes
I really hate the acronym trend.

I do like the S. Nevada beer, that's a good ale

we used to build our own six packs, but I never actually read the
labels..
more like.. hmmm, that's a cool label... it was fun

beer and cheese, that sounds good..
I also like a home baked yeast bread with a beer...
maybe it's sort of remenicient of dining out, i dont know

then there's the stout with the black lab on the label
I think it's made in VA, maybe in williamsburg

* OT note, williamsburg is the number one tourist destination in
America
reason being.. one.. it's a beautiful little township, and it's also
where
columbus climbed ashore. most places you go there have cobblestone
streets
it's not cramped either.. there's a nice college life thing going on
there and it's
really clean.

Well, sorry about that. ABV is commonly used on beer labels when listing
the school content. Kinda like"%DV" on food labels (Daily Value). Been used
since beer was first bottled. You will see this listed on almost all beers
from non US brewers. For some reason, US brewers don't put it on the label,
although they freely provide such information via other means.

So, now you know something new...

If you're ever in New England, find some of Mercury Brewing's Ipswich
Oatmeal Stout. It's the most beautiful stout ever. It makes Guinness
seem like water.

Not to nitpick, but bocks can be pale or dark. Maibocks are usually
pale, doppelbocks are usually dark. Sierra Nevada, Sprecher, and
Stoudt's make beautiful pale bocks.

I see Rogue's beers in MA. all the time. But they're ridiculously
overpriced and often stale. However, when fresh, their stouts are
excellent. Their Shakespeare is excellent (though not as good as
Ipswich Oatmeal Stout).

Some stouts are bittersweet chocolate-tasting. Obsidian stout reminds
me of milk chocolate. It's on the sweet side.

Mass market pseudo-pilsners (Bud, Coors, etc.) are in that ABV range,
and draft Guinness is even lower. A lot of the better microbrews are
stronger. Some of the stouts that have been named in this thread --
Rogue Shakespeare, Deschutes Obsidian, Ipswich Oatmeal -- are between 6
and 7% ABV. Imperial stouts, double IPAs, and barleywines are usually
anywhere from 8 - 12% ABV.

Reinforced wines (18-20%) have been around since the invention of Port
by the Portuguese.

I'm aware of that fact. We used to brew our own.

SD

Well let me start by saying in the past, if I drank 2 beers in a year that
was a lot. Now with that said I found a beer that I now drink at least one
of every night made by Bush. Now Bush beers in general taste like **** to me
but the new Amber Bock Michelob tastes great to me. No after taste, no
headache after 2 beers, all the reasons I didn't drink beer before. Oh and
it is a dark beer and works well in recipes that call for beer well.

Q: What's a good dark beer?

A: It depends. Do you just want a dark beer? Do you want it
heavily malted? Do you want it heavily hopped? Are you
going drink it to quench your thirst? Are you going to
serve it with a meal? Are you going to drink it to relax?

Lots of questions to be answered.

If you want it as a thirst quencher, you could go with an
"Dark American Lager" like San Miguel Dark, Beck's Dark, or
Saint Pauli Girl Dark. They are crisp beers with little to
no aroma of malt or hops.

For a meal, I'd suggest a Porter or a Stout. I've had either
that wasn't top-shelve - aroma, hops, and great smooth. I
prefer a Porter with lunch or dinner. My favorites are
Samuel Smith Taddy Porter, Fuller's London Porter, Great Lakes
Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, Sierra Nevada Porter, and Bell's
Porter,

Now for a sit back, relax, and enjoy beer, there is nothing
better than Arrogant ******* Ale, Chimay Grande Reserve,
Thomas Hardy's Ale, Three Floyds Behemoth, or Belhaven Wee
Heavy.

I make an Arrogant ******* clone which is so thick with malt
and so heavy with hops that you can pour a pint and call it
a meal!

Hello

I like the stouts, but I know so darn little on the subject

i dont know if I prefer hopps, are malts more filling?
which do you think offer _just a better buzz?

YES a crisp darkie

I've have had some of those, I just recognize the nims but couldn't
pass a blind taste test

Hops contribute flavor and aroma (supposedly they were originally used
as a preservative), not alcohol. It's the malt that contributes
fermentable sugars to beer. Some high-ABV beers -- most doppelbocks,
e.g. -- are mostly malty tasting; others, like many domestic IPAs, are
hop-heavy. There's no reason why you can't have both malt & hop tastes
in a beer, though.

I skew towards the British/Irish brews.

Beamish
Guinness
Whitbread's
Boddington's

They may be hard to find depending on where you live. I have a buddy in
Delaware who lives near this supermarket called "Liquor World" -- there is a
wine section, a spirits section, a beer section... and you can find just
about any alcoholic libation ever known to mankind there.

I'm sure that other similar places exist... but in my world travels, DE has
been the only place with something so extensive...

I think the EU requires a %ABV number on alcoholic
beverages of any kind. In the U.S., you'll usually see
proof on liquor and sometimes also %ABV (maybe it's there if
the brand is an import), and rarely see any indication on
beer. Unless they changed the rules and I haven't noticed.

: Dark beer is okay but I like dark ales. One of my favorites is Felinfoel
: Double Dragon. Good stuff and it'll knock you on your ass.

Ale IS beer, dork. There are two kinds, I repeat, TWO kinds of beer - ales
and lagers, period. Both are beers. Beer is fermented with either an
ale yeast at warmer temperatures, or a lager yeast at cooler temperatures.
But both are beer.

bob stop acting like a little bitch

you say ale and lager are two kinds..

where does barley, hopps, and malts fit into that
maybe it is usual or customary to use barley hopps and malt in one or
the other

what kind do you drink, pabtz bl ribbon? I think that's a malt liquor
right>?
