About: My first beer was Budweiser. I was about 9 or 10, Dad and I were broken down and the side of the road and all there was to drink was Budweiser. So I had a swig of his, hated it!
I didn't drink beer again until I joined the Marine Corps. I was in Quantico, attending Small Computer Systems Specialist school, when I accidentally knocked a beer out the fridge and broke it. My buddies said now I gotta drink one! The rest is history. The broken beer was a Red Dog by the way.
Now days I am really a hop head that enjoys the IPAs [Stone IPA; Lagunitas IPA] and Douple IPAs [Moylan's; Hair of the Dog Blue Dot]. I also like Belgians [St Bernardus; Delirium; Three Philosopher's] a lot! I also like the Stouts and Porters [Black Butte] as well.
I enjoy going to breweries to sample as well as going to pubs and taverns. I also like enjoying beer with friends and bouncing ideas off of other intelligent people as well. Last time I was at O'Brien's I was shooting the shit with a couple of random strangers.
I hope to someday do a pub/tavern crawl across Europe. That's all I want. Simple.

San Marcos Pompous Ass
Name: Pompous Ass
Brewery: San Marcos Brewery
Overall Rating: A
Style: Belgian Dark [18E]
Serving Style: Draft
Aroma: Esters and malts
Appearance: Dark amber. Thin off-white head with a little lacing. Quick head head dissipation. What you see in the picture was immediately after the pour.
Flavor: Complex malt character with caramel flavors. This was definitely heavy in the malt department.
Mouthfeel: It was a balancing act between grainy and smooth carbonation.
Enjoyability: Very very good. Good example of a Belgian quad and I recommend you go try this one out.
Another take: Nubs at rb calling it a brown ale | No else…
