Oliva Conny

Bad Andy

mmmmmmm... Tryied the Oliva conny last night. It was pretty doggone good. I followed it up with a short RP Nording, which was nice step-up in strength and flavor. Oliva is still my favorite brand. I drank Yuengling B&T and Sweetwater's Georgia Brown, both paired well with each smoke.

sorry about your friend. I gotta get some more of those things and let them rest more than 4 hours lol. I got my first Yuengling back in 04...still my fave.

I really like the Oliva Connecticut as well, I think they've done everything right to make a blend work with a Conn. wrapper. Hats off to Oliva for this one.

I will have to try this conni. The Yuengling, what would you compare it too? I don't have any around me, but a lot of you rave about it. The black & tan looks good, btw. I've had a lot of beer, but some really stand out, samuel adams boston lager, Blue Moon, Young's double chocolate beer (bottle pint), Rogue Mocha Stout, Rogue cherry wheat (only had it at the brewery), widmere heffi. Those are some of my favs. There was an oatmeal stout I loved but can't remember who made it. Rogue had a good one though.

I love Sam Adams, and I like Yuengling much better.

Squirrel, need to try New Belgium's Fat Tire and 1554. 1554 is a dark stout, very chocalatey and rich. Great beers...

I had the Oliva Conny before and enjoyed it. I must admit though, I enjoyed the RP Conny a little bit more. Also, Yuengling originated, and is still made, in Pottsville, PA which is about an hour away from me. They give you two free samples at the end of every tour of the factory! It is my favorite beer and one that I always turn to. That's probably why I have a keg of it at all times......

The Yuengling B&T is lighter but the flavor is still there. Chocolate undertones but not overpowering with like a light bittersweet taste. hope that helps.
