Went over to Lucky Baldwin's Delirium Cafe tonight. Didn't expect much from their tap lineup as Belgian Beer Fest was still going on and I wasn't impressed with their lineup 2 weeks ago. This day was actually better now. Out of the 4 beers I had tonight, all four were new to me. The first was Abbey Des Rocs Triple Imperial (10% ABV). It was a milk chocolate brown (maybe slightly darker), pretty sweet, medium-light body, and super easy to drink. Not a whole lot of roastiness going on in it, just a bit of sweet, alcohol, and Belgian flavors. Good Stuff. The next beer was a Murphy's Irish Stout. Never had that beer so decided what the hell. Felt like comparing it to the ultra bland Guinness that I've had within the last month. It was a bit better than Guinness as it had a little more roastiness (albeit not much). The next beer was a bottle of Lost Abbey's Serpent Stout. Lucky B's priced this at $10 a bottle. It must've been a mistake or something. It totally didn't fit within the pricing of their other beers (ie Ommegang Abbey Ale for $15). I jumped all over this deal and ordered it. This beer reeked of cocoa powder in the nose and tasted of smooth unsweetened intense dark chocolate with a bit of sweet fruit. We left Lucky B's and walked up to a dive up the street called Buccaneer which had PBR on tap. At this point my best judgments were behind me so I ordered up a pint. We watched a band play a couple songs and then we left, with about 3/4th's of a glass of PBR still sitting there. We topped off the night with some awesome burritos from Alberto's. Good night overall. It's very rare that I ever try more than 1 or 2 new beers in one night anymore. And I'm going to bed now after posting-under-the-influence here.
