Awesome post Dan, hit those boys with the hops.

I am in NYC, and found a craft beer pub called Rattle & Hum. 40 Craft Brews on tap. (I am smiling)

De Molan Vuur & Vlam - Lovely beer. Nice citrus /pine aroma. Tastes of Kiwifruit!

Next a flight with the follow plus one more.

Mikkeller Beer Geek Bacon - On the nose this smells like a weaker Rex Attitude. Smoky, rich peat. A very dark color with notes of coffee, and i think rather sharp phenolics.

Saranac Pale Ale - To sum it up, a huge disappointment.

I REALLY enjoyed Saranac Pale Ale when I had a bottle. A lovely English style pale ale.

I had a few dutch heinekens at a mates place. So different from the nz version, this has hops and malt.

Also a few sips of my riwaka/amarillo/warrior/citra extra pale ale (kinda lagerish). The bitter is exceptionally smooth for a very fresh beer (thats the warrior) and I think I can taste the tropical fruits the citra should bring. Carbonate faster beer!

Renaissance Craftsman Oatmeal Chocolate Stout. I like this. Anyone know where I can get cocoa nibs?

I got mine from Craftbrewer in Aussie. Was already doing an order with them so might not be worth for just the nibs.

I've seen these locally (Mediterranean food warehouse). Depending on where you live you may be able to find them somewhere similar or else order online.

Richard here, stealing James' laptop - I found them today at Nosh. $10 per hundred grams. I got 200g, because, well, fuck it, I like chocolate :)
