Failed attempt. Sehkraft Brewing in Arlington says they brew on their website, but upon arrival I was informed that they are about 5 weeks away from starting to brew. So I had this delightful Imperial Stout from Goochland, VA. Licking hole Creek Coffee Obsession at 11.5%. They poured it at ice cold crap lite temperature so I had to hold it for 10 minutes to warm it up. Nice, soft coffee notes. I’m about halfway through as I write this and noticing the 11.5% status, not via taste, but via my lack of dinner. This is a really nice beer. It’s a damn shame they didn’t make it here.

When did you go there? I was there tonight (Monday night) because my son was playing in the band.

It was tonight! I left about 3 or 4 songs in, I was digging the brass!

Yeah, the trumpets were great. My son was on the keyboard. They are all from Arlington and go to the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Sorry, I had totaled up your entries but it somehow didn’t make it to my post. You still have a ways to go for the win.

If my wife would ever post to the forum, she’d be tied with me, since we’ve done all our visits together. Alas.

Franklins Twisted Turtle Pale Ale by Jon, on Flickr

Twisted Turtle pale ale: I didn’t realize this was an ESB until after I ordered it. It probably should have been warmer but they probably aren’t set up for that. I could TOTALLY taste the English Kent Golding hops. They’re totally different from those other hops.

Private IPA – really nice start, not quite perfect on the finish

Highland Hugh – wee heavy scotch ale – staff recommendation. It was pleasant. Didn’t taste like 8%.

Not only that, but if my KIDS were old enough to taste at all the breweries we dragged them to, they’d have 8 and 7.

Denizens
McRamerez, a Tequilla barrel-aged Irish style export stout. 7.7%.
Good stout, nice body. After a few sips the tequila starts to show some bite at the back of the mouth. Is different, but I think a bit distracting from the beer itself. If you don’t mind that kind of bite, you’ll probably like this one.

3 Stars
Raspberry Dissonance

I chose this one because it was only 3.6% and I want to make it home tonight. Tastes like a tart raspberry.

Hellbender
Southern Torrent
Saison, 5%. Traditional farmhouse ale. Light and crisp with hints of apple and pear

Nice beer. More lager-y than a saison in my opinion, but I’m enjoying it.
