MONDAY 3/2/2009 THROUGH SUNDAY 3/8/2009
March 9, 2009
Three classic Trappists, a monster sour from California and a slew of high gravity stouts populate this week’s list of performers. It should be noted that 9 out of the 10 highest rated beers this week are all within the top 100 active beers on the site, with only Chimay Blue falling outside of this range (a very respectable 168th ranking). <h3>What’s Hot This Week</h3> <small>(min 10 ratings)</small><ul> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/2360/>Rochefort Trappistes 10</xxyxx> (4.34)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/94349/>Russian River Consecration</xxyxx> (4.31)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/8909/>Goose Island Bourbon County Stout</xxyxx> (4.29)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/53/>Chimay Bleue (Blue)</xxyxx> (4.25)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/77305/>Struise Black Albert</xxyxx> (4.25)</li> </ul>Other notables: <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/2530/>St. Bernardus Abt 12</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/35488/>Bells Hopslam</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/97034/>Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/85174/>Great Divide Espresso Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/14956/>Founders Breakfast Stout</xxyxx> <h3>This Week’s Overachievers</h3><ul> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/95047/>Leinenkugels 1888 Bock</xxyxx>, <font color=red>+0.26</font> (3.18-2.92)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/87480/>Stone Cali-Belgique IPA (Cali-België)</xxyxx>, <font color=red>+0.24</font> (3.95-3.7)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/53/>Chimay Bleue (Blue)</xxyxx>, <font color=red>+0.24</font> (4.25-4.02)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/82639/>New Belgium Mighty Arrow</xxyxx>, <font color=red>+0.18</font> (3.51-3.33)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/2205/>Westmalle Dubbel</xxyxx>, <font color=red>+0.15</font> (4.03-3.88)</li> </ul>Other notable overachievers: <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/98022/>Abita Abbey Ale, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/98806/>New Belgium Lips of Faith (Dark Kriek)</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/77305/>Struise Black Albert</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/8909/>Goose Island Bourbon County Stout</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/11576/>Oskar Blues Dales Pale Ale</xxyxx> <h3>This Week’s Underachievers</h3><ul> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/1267/>Guinness Draught</xxyxx>, <font color=darkgreen>-0.69</font> (2.77-3.46)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/1926/>Unibroue Trois Pistoles</xxyxx>, <font color=darkgreen>-0.32</font> (3.65-3.97)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/1315/>Arrogant Bastard Ale</xxyxx>, <font color=darkgreen>-0.26</font> (3.67-3.93)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/96144/>Samuel Adams Imperial Double Bock</xxyxx>, <font color=darkgreen>-0.19</font> (3.11-3.3)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/58992/>New Belgium Mothership Wit</xxyxx>, <font color=darkgreen>-0.19</font> (2.91-3.1)</li> </ul>Other notable underachievers: <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/371/>Sierra Nevada Bigfoot</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/91230/>Alesmith Mikkeller Stone Belgian Style Tripel Ale</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/1502/>Two Hearted Ale</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/365/>Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (Bottle)</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/86978/>Samuel Adams Imperial Stout</xxyxx> <h3>What’s New (and Good) This Week</h3> <small>(avg. rating)</small><ul> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/100027/>Nøgne Ø Sunturnbrew</xxyxx>, (4.4)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/100195/>De Molen / Struise Brouwers Black Damnation</xxyxx>, (4.3)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/100047/>Spring House Planet Bean Coffee Stout</xxyxx>, (4.2)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/100141/>Haandbryggeriet Aqua Vita Porter</xxyxx>, (4.15)</li> <li><xxyxx href=/beer/beername/100241/>Cascade Gold Yeller</xxyxx>, (3.95)</li> </ul>Other notable new beers: <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/100222/>Alvinne Podge Bourgogne Barrel Oak Aged</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/100220/>De Molen Vlaams Hollands</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/100023/>21st Amendment Monks Blood</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/100356/>Goose Island Night Stalker</xxyxx>, <xxyxx href=/beer/beername/100063/>Big Rock Chop House Train Wreck Ice-Barleywine</xxyxx> Debuting at the top this week is an 11% ABV barely wine from Nøgne Ø brewed with smoked malt and rye, a 12% imperial stout collaboration between De Molen and Struise, and a 7% coffee stout from Spring House in Pennsylvania.
