Same here. It kinda tasted like drinking a Scope stout.


If you don't like mint, you probably won't like the stout. I'm a big mint/chocolate fans so that's why I like it.

I love mint and chocolate, it just wasn't what I was expecting the only time I tried it. The mint tasted too fake and overpowering. But again, that was almost a year ago and in the middle of a huge bottle share, so tasting conditions weren't ideal.

15/18. No old rail, miel sauvage or coteau rodaire. I need to revisit bayou teche, i still have such a negative image of them.

BT is doing interesting things, it's just not always something I like. The CR was pretty good, I just found the bottle I had severely under carbonated, which for a farmhouse/saison style really took away from it. The MS is good, but one that is tough to drink 22oz of.

reminds me of DFH one offs. a bunch of 2.5-3.5 stars that I thoroughly enjoy drinking.

17/18, never tried the Coteau Rodaire... so I guess I need to find one.

Miel Sauvage is good, but it's strong and sweet, so be sure to have someone with you that wants to share the bomber.

B, I felt the same way about Girl Scout Cookie when I had it at Bulldog, I don't remember if I tried it again at Jamboree or not. I guess I'll give it another go next time I'm at the brewery.

I think the difference is where the stuff is being bottled. Lazy Magnolia in Natchez...metallic aftertaste. Their brewery in Arnaudville...much better finish off the palate. That's why their bombers have been better, and once they start doing their whole lineup in Arnaudville, I think people will really come around to enjoying the Acadie and Mardi Gras much more.

Their beer had always been pleasant on draft, but now hopefully more people will want to buy off the shelf as well.

Really gonna depend on where you live, but the top beers on the list are very limited. You would need a low maven membership number to even get them. Great Raft is still pretty new and their beers aren't sold outside of Cowboy country yet. The Abita beers on the list are draft only along with Cow Catcher and Girl stout. Your best bet would be trying to find Envie, Dr. Hoptagon, and Irish channel stout. Those are probably the most widely distributed beers on that list.

This is what I got out of Girl Stout Cookie too..

The couple times Ive had Girl Stout Cookie I thought it was interesting, but I was glad it was out of a small glass and not a full pint.

Stone's Chocolate Mint Stout on the other hand is outstanding. The base beer, chocolate, and mint were all balanced really with no component overpowering the others like the mint GSC.

Its like liquid thin mints. The BA version is like bourbon soaked liquid thin mints!

They made a lot of it apparently. I dont have very good St. Louis connections but I'm sure Reddit or BA could yield one.

Great Raft Make Believer IPA is a huge omission IMO. Better than All-Day IPA and stone Go-To. But not blaming the voters my guess is most haven't had it yet because they did not brew much.

Eta: I'm only 11/18. I just recently got into stouts more so those hard to find abita's I'm sad I can't try.

Unfortunately it was only brewed once back in the fall of 2012.

As far as I know it was never distributed to Baton Rouge/LA. I had someone in CA ship me a few bottles.
