Went to NYC this past weekend to visit Josh. We had numerous beers. The highlight was a trip to Other Half. The best of the bunch: Other Half Deep Orbit Cygnus.
Description: When I saw an imperial stout brewed with Snickers and Butterfinger, all I could think was: this is likely going to be more gimmicky than good. You know what: it is gimmicky, but that doesn't mean the beer isn't incredible. Jet black with no noticeable head, could be confused with flat cola. The flavor is just plain old Butterfinger with a little hint of peanut and caramel (aka Snickers). It's also a bit boozy tasting, but that's hard to avoid at 15.5% (sheesh).
What you should know: Other Half makes some incredible beers. They make some gimmicky-sounding things, but the flavors are really there, and it's hard to argue.
Recommendations: Take a trip to Other Half next time you're in NYC. It's a bit hard to get to, but it's worth it. Stick with the 4oz pours: they make strong stuff.
