At the moment drinking this one. Pretty nice beer, but I hoped for more taste.

^ Ya, I prefer the Tremens over the Nocturnum. Just didn't really like the malty taste in a Belgian style ale.

The Tremens is the best Triple out there, IMO

 

[warubozu]

Agreed, I was pleasantly surprise how easy it was to drink the Tremens.

MacTarnahan's Amber Ale (5.1% ABV)
- Light fresh/dry hops & amber malts aromatics
- Medium bodied, smooth, well balanced of hops, malts, grains for a EZ to drink amber ale
- Slight trailing of hops at the very end
- I'd drink it again & again .. 7.5/10

MacTarnahan's HumBug'r Ale (5.3% ABV)
- Light roasted malts/grains aromatics
- Medium bodied, clean and smooth mouthy feel
- Clean roasted grains/malts taste .. not too espresso dark or too alcoholy malty taste
- Similar after taste
- Not bad .. decent light-ish Winter ale .. 7/10

My haul last night. From left to right:
 
-Victory Otto, this is a new beer that's been getting a lot of talk lately so I had to try it. Victory is one of the east coasts great breweries so it's more than likely going to be fantastic. 
-DogFish Head Sah'Te, this I've had before and picked it up as something me and my girlfriend might split. Unfortunately I overestimated her liking tea so she didn't drink much and this was a tad sweet to drink in one sitting but I did. Juniper berries and chai spices throughout with a nice sweet honey flavor made this interesting, but definitely not something to drink every day.
-The Bruery Saison Rue, this I picked up to try something with Brett in it, very interested.

 

[Eee Pee]

Yay.
 

 
Nice and foamy.

Picked up a 4 pack of Olde School Barleywine from DogFish Head and a Troegs Mad Elf.

The Mad Elf is an interesting seasonal. A little strong, but very interesting. Just don't try to drink too many, otherwise I assure you a headache will follow.
 
I am trying to find some of the cranberry Harpoon for Thanksgiving. I feel like that will be a unique beer experience.
 
Has anyone else had any of the Southern Tier brews? I have had their Imperial Chokolat, Creme Brulee Stout, and Pumpking ale. All are great, especially the Pumpking which I think might be my favorite pumpkin beer now.

 

[keanex]

Mad Elf is gone, unbalanced, way too boozy. Not bad but not worth the hype. As for Southern Tier's beers, the ones mentioned are good, but too sweet to be drank in full.

 

[daigo]

I have bottles of Choklat, Creme Brulee and Pumking sitting around that I've received in trades, but I havent opened them because I keep hearing they are boozy and sweet beers and difficult to drink a lot of.  Waiting for a get together with friends to open them all up and try them then.

A get together is a good time to share them. I don't think they are too boozy at all, but they can be a bit sweet. These aren't beers I would be chugging, but are perfect for enjoying on a cool night after desert or some such.
 
I am usually not a fan of overly boozy beers a la Mad Elf, Golden Monkey, etc. Although there are some Triples and Quads that I do enjoy on occasion. 
 
Actually speaking of boozy beers, I bought a Dogfish Head World Wide Stout the other day. I am waiting for a special occasion to drink that, but I am really looking forward to trying it.

The longer those Southern Tiers sit the worse they get. They become more syrupy with less flavor the longer you have them around.
