Rock Bottom Des Moines

Howdy all!  Night one of the blog.  Went to Rock Bottom in Des Moines, IA tonight.  They are currently featuring dark beers.  Tonight I started with In the Dark Wheat, as they say it is a wheat beer with chocolate malt and elderberry.  A very nice and complex beer, the elderberry adds a nice complexity to the beer.  A very good dark wheat beet.  Also had the Vintage Dangereaux a nice complex, malty, spicy Belgian based beer.  Also had a taster of the 4x Quad and Impious beers.  4x Quad is a very nice malty Belgian Quad checking in over 10% ABV, does not seem to have that much alcohol.  The Impious is a nice American Imperial Stout  with northwest hops and a very nice roast character.  A very pleasant blend is the 4x and Impious together.  They balance each other out and make and very dangerous "session" beer at probably 9%ABV.  The Brewer Eric Sorensen does an excellent job brewing fun and tasteful beers.
