Leinenkugel’s Limited Yes, that is a National Corn Dog Day poster still remaining on my wall weeks after the event.  Yes, this is a Leinenkugel I could drink the shit out of all summer long.  But I won’t, because my heart belongs to another…

Strongbow Dry Cider Cleaning out some St Patrick’s Day leftovers from my fridge to make way for summer.  My cider consumption has reached into disgusting levels these past few weeks, but at least I didn’t pour it over ice.

Magner’s Cider GPOYW beer edition.  I drank this bottle on January 12.  The look of dejection on my face was completely due to the Magner’s and not the Tecate nuzzled into my crotch.

Smithwick’s I drank this one back on January 15th in my quest for validation via internet achievement.  I don’t hate myself for it.  I do hate you if you correct people on the proper pronunciation of this beer.

Harp Lager With St. Patrick’s day quickly approaching, I might as well unload my back log of Irish beers from the log.  I enjoyed this one on January 15th.  Perhaps I’m using the word “enjoy” too loosely.  But every March 17 for me is a Snakebite marathon, so I’ve got another six-pack on ice ready to be cut with some Strongbow.

Boulevard Imperial Stout After a year away, Boulevard is returning with their Imperial Stout limited release Smokestack offering.  The Imperial Stout is a mix of beer aged 6 to 24 months in oak whiskey barrels and some fresh brew from the end of 2010.  I pick up a lot of oak and toffee in the aroma while the taste is a lot of roast coffee and chocolate (Boulevard also notes the presence of vanilla, bourbon and molasses). While I think mid-March might be a little late for busting out a beer as robust and warming as this, it did snow today and fans of the genre will appreciate a beer like this any time of year.  You’ll be able to find it in KC liquor stores starting tomorrow, March 15th.  If you need help tracking it down, OnTapKC should be updated with sightings. *Note: After posting this, I realized the label coloring is a dead match for our freakish kitchen.

Brewery Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence With the impending release of Boulevard Chocolate Ale, I picked up a bottle of this over the weekend to enjoy during the Super Bowl.  When a beer is named Chocolate Indulgence, you might expect it to be an explosion of chocolate flavor.  This is more like the Quik Bunny had a week-long orgy and he had one final dry spunk into this bottle.  Not bad Belgian-wise, just not a lot working on the stout and chocolate.

Great Divide Hoss I probably have about 20 beers queued up that I consumed prior to this one, but I need to get this off my chest.  This beer is fucking delightful.  I’m pretty broken up by the fact I only bought a single bottle.  If you ever feel the need to bring some beer to my house, this will make me not hate you for taking up fridge space.  I’m tempted to put it in my top five every day beers.  Man.  This shit is wonderful.

Magic Hat Wacko A word of advice, you probably shouldn’t be drinking a summer seasonal in January.  Despite having downed three of these over the summer, I didn’t get around to drinking much of this one.  What really did it for me was the large particles floating in my glass.  If you look closely, you can faintly see one in the middle, which is the reason for the zoomed shot.  If you’re in the market for a nice beet-juice infused ale, Royal at 103rd & State Line has some sixes in clearance.
