Well, I drank one of the Schneider Weisse Aventinus beers last night. I was really looking forward to the taste being as unique as the Sam Adams stuff, if not more.
I popped open the bottle and poured it into one of my trusted beer mugs. It was a little lighter than I expected. Their website said it was almost black. This looked like a darker beer, but no where near Guinness. When I was about half way finished pouring the beer, I took a little sip of the suds. It didn’t give me that wow that the Sam Adams Double Bock did. It tasted like a clean ale. I finished pouring the bottle and sat down to have a drink. I took a few sips and handed the mug to Laura for a taste. I wasn’t too impressed. She sipped it and thought it was ok. Perhaps if it was a Summer day and we were up at Hunter Mountain, it would’ve been fine, but we were inside on New Year’s Eve.
Overall, I would day it was a good beer for the Summer, if you are a dark beer lover like I am. Actually, I prefer all my beer as black as can be. The more syrupy, the better.

I had to write this post. Along with my three reasons for living (fiber, vinegar and mulch), I love beer. I am not a huge beer drinker, but I do love a nice, rich, creamy beer. The darker and richer, the better. With that said…
…I had the best beer of my life yesterday. After Laura and I went hiking up at Sam’s Point, we drove up to Emmanual’s in Stone Ridge. We did some shopping for our Harry Potter date later in the evening. We haven’t seen any of the Harry Potter movies and thought it would be cool to jump on the band wagon, or off the wagon, whatever. While we were shopping for very expensive food (everything is expensive in that store), I decided to refill my beer stash in the fridge. I ran out last week and have been feeling the loss. I decided to pick up some Sam Adams Double Bock along with some Honey Brown.
I was so excited to get home to open the bottle of Double Bock. I have never tried it. I got home and popped the top off. I took my first sip and said, “WOW.” I handed the bottle to Laura and had her try it. I have to say, it is the richest, creamiest beer I have ever had. I like creamy beers and this topped the cake. I just had to write about it because I was kind of excited. Give it a try.
I am going to have a bottle of Honey Brown tonight so I don’t spoil a good thing, but tommorow, I will be back to the Sam Adams.
This is a little addition to the original post - What the heck is it with these stupid age verifications on these beer websites? Heaven forbid someone under the age of eighteen read about beer. Yes, that’s it, let’s keep them so sheltered that the minute they turn twenty one, they get totally blitzed. Like they aren’t going to put in a fake date anyway.
I remember one time, back when I was seventeen, I read about a beer in a magazine. I was so inspired that I went out and bought a keg. Yeah right.
