My
birthday was Monday and my wife and son took me to Parry’s Pizzeria and Bar for
a birthday brew and a nice pizza. We
ordered crispy green beans for an appetizer and the 5 bouroughs pizza for the
main course. I selected The Lost Abbey’s
Serpent Stout (10.5% ABV), an imperial stout, for my birthday brew and it was
excellent. I had read and heard, via
podcasts, about this beer and it lived up to everything I had heard about. It was an excellent beer and I highly
recommend it. It is a big beer and is
one to be slowly consumed and enjoy.

history of the bible and religion is indeed the struggle of good vs. evil. Our
Serpent’s Stout recognizes the evil of the dark side that we all struggle
with. This is a massively thick and
opaque beer that begs the saints to join the sinners in their path to a black
existence. Tasting Notes: Pours dark and thick, with a creamy
mocha-colored head and aromas of roasted malts, dark chocolate and french roast
coffee. The mouthfeel is full, smooth
and round on the tongue. The taste is rich with deep roasted malts, cocoa,
coffee and a touch of vanilla balanced perfectly against the alcohol to create
an excellent winter warmer.”
I was running some errands a couple of weekends ago when I
received a text from my friend Roger who was having lunch with Jay at Parry’s
Pizzeria and Bar and I was right next to it.
I ran in to say hi and ordered a Moylan’s Kilt Lifter (8% ABV) Scotch
Wee Heavy to enjoy as we chatted. It was
a very nice Scotch Ale and ws perfect for a Sunday afternoon.

and Strapping , Our Scotch Ale takes BIG Beers to a whole new level. Rich malt
balances perfectly with delicate hops to provide a concentrated and intense
flavor; an ideal companion for hearty foods, or as a meal unto itsself. Allow
this ale to warm slightly in your glass to enhance its truly bold character
.Sharing is encouraged, as this is one beer that lives up to its name! Hey! No
peeking! Slainté! “
