Thank you, JB! That beer sure does sound ... interesting. I think I would pick your lambsfoot before the beer, though.
LOL! Thanks Shawn

Sounds good to me!!Hey Sean, great to see you back on The Porch buddy I read your post in the Lounge on my phone, you take care buddy, really hope that happier days are ahead
This is a weird one, it actually does have a taste of raspberry doughnuts! I'm enjoying it!
Dang Jack, nice lineup!!!

Your knife is intoxicating, Dylan, and the stout looks tasty! But I'm not looking forward to the cold weather. My annual goal is to NOT use the furnace until Thanksgiving, but it's been a long time since I achieved that! I often can't make it to Halloween anymore without using the furnace.I'm looking forward to "Stout" weather! I had to turn the furnace on for the first time this morning, supposed to have our first frost tomorrow.
Another desirable-looking stout, Dylan, and that Jack Black fellow knows how to design a classic Barlow, doesn't he?Continuing with the stouts this evening. This one is an Obsidian Stout from Deschutes Brewery.
Taylor, I think I tried the Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest on your recommendation a year ago, and I was definitely ready for more this year!One of my favorites!
Thanks for the mini-review, Stuart.I like it, GT, as a break from the "more flavor forward" American craft märzens. I do like them, but this beer (supposedly in its 600th year of production) seems a fun one to drink if you are drinking more than several. It is lighter in color and, despite 5.8% abv, flavor. I like porters, stouts, and darker märzen beers (e.g. Dos Equis Ambar and Spaten Oktobefest), but this one is a nice break from mucho malty brews. I find it goes a bit better with food, as it is crisper on the tongue. Maybe I need to try one more to be sure . . .

Interesting coincidence, Vince: I had a bottle of Warsteiner Oktoberfest with my supper last night! Your Dunkel looks good. I think the Warsteiner Oktoberfest is my favorite of the German imports I've tried this fall, although I also think I like all of the American Oktoberfest beers I've tried more than all of the imports. But I just try one a day, so it's hard to do a reliable comparison, I suppose. Maybe I have to work on about 6 bottles at a time, sipping in a variety of orders, to get more reliable data.Had a few beers in Fredericksburg at Octoberfest, but I don't think they allowed knives for some reason. Here's a pic from the hotel pool (where they don't allow glass bottles!):
Well, I had five beers (counting the souvenir cups and subtracting my wife's three) at Octoberfest, all German, and all incredibly delicious. I think two were Spaten Oktoberfest, one was Spaten Optimator, and one was Warsteiner Oktoberfest. The fifth I think was a Weihenstephaner--not sure which one. Then I had a Warsteiner Dunkel back at the hotel. The Germans know how to make beer!Interesting coincidence, Vince: I had a bottle of Warsteiner Oktoberfest with my supper last night!

Picked up a 6er of Spaten Optimator last weekend. One of my favorite beers. I joked with my brother that "it may be the manliest beer ever. It's like chewing on a BBQ pit."
Dylan, any clue on the mash bill?
