Sean will undoubtably correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that you can click on the "Sentbox" button at the top, and when the screen loads, then tick off the ones you want to save, and then click the "Save Marked" button at the bottom of the screen.

For my sake, try a Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark!

OH GOD YES!


It is hard to find here in Nebraska. So when I go to Rockford or Madison I buy as much as my car will hold (I have a small car, so not enough to keep me happy).


I'm going to leine's monday for a tour. Want me to take pictures for you?

How about some of this stuff to round it out. It's only about 10.5% alc./vol. but it is an amazing abbey style brown.

Uh, unless it's barley wine, ale doesn't get that strong. What is confusing to most Americans is that in europe, for ale and beer, what is usually labeled is not the alcoholic content, but the starting specific gravity, or how dense the malt is when put into the fermentation tank. It's epressed in degrees, with the little superscript zero. Starting gravity of 1.010º is just about right for a moderate ale which ends up at about the same 4 to 5 % alcohol volume. It tastes heavier than that because of the toasted barley, different hops, and the grain is mashed at a slightly different temperature to get some non-fermentable sugars as well as maltose in order to give it body.

I don't claim any sort of expertise about beer aside from a fairly refined palate for tasting it so I can't argue. All the info I have comes from here http://www.unibroue.com/products/terrible.cfm

No matter the classification, it is a darn good beer.

I was a kid when this stuff came out, but everyone says it was pretty awful. A six-pack of Brew 102 was cheaper than a six-pack of Coca-Cola.

Well, they do list on the website as 10.5%.

Yes, I'm sure it is terrible.
