It's almost over but wow, what a week for sampling craft beers in Saint Louis.
This afternoon I had the chance to stop by iTAP which was featuring 12 beers in the cask. At the risk of sounding redundant..."So many beers, so little time".
I started with a Green Flash Imperial IPA. (Green Flash is from San Diego). If you read this blog at all, you know I am a huge hop-head. And this is a big, beer. What are the metrics on this beer you ask? Well it is 9.4% ABV and a huge 101 IBUs. It has the citrus smell to it and it goes down smooth despite it's huge ABV.
After trying the Green Flash my friendly waitress Emily suggested the New Holland Dragon's Milk Stout. This beer was amazing. It is 10% ABV and I had two of them as well as a water back. It tasted of Chocolate Milk. Now I drank Chocolate Milk as a kid, but if I had known about this beer, I probably wouldn't have anything to do with the milk. It pours like oil, but it tastes like heaven. The bourbon notes are noticable immediatly. I wish this beer was available year round in St. Louis. Cheers to Green Flash and New Holland!
