Last night I had a Terrapin Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout, courtesy of Albert. My god, this beer is through the roof! I love this :dr I hated to see the bottom of the glass. I got one more but I'll savor that another time.

Is this Wake n Bake or is that another? I see W n B on the label. Thanks Albert :tu

Its Wake-n-Bake, due to controversy they had to shorten it to W-n-B, yet Sweetwater's (also in GA) flagship brew is there 420 pale ale. Go figure

Bell's Oberon. Great wheat ale, gonna be drinking a lot of this over the summer.

Three Floyds Gumballhead is still my favorite wheat ale though.

I still have yet to try the Oberon but did try the Oarsmen last night and it was quite tasty, its a light wheat beer but has a sour/tart finish. I liked it but I think it will be even better in the heat.

Good to hear this is decent. I have been debating buying a mini-keg of it from the local liquor store. They have it on sale for 17.99 IIRC.

Just saw this, Dave. You think so? I have heard that beer doesn't really age well/at all in cans. If it's bottle (or can) conditioned, it should age, right? I recently tried to drink a 4-year old OB Gordon that was totally disgusting... all the hops had faded and the malts were strange so I know beer changes in cans.

Personally I just think it's awesome beer :)

I was agreeing that it was the can that could have made it tasty funky. It's good fresh and that when it should be enjoyed. I wouldn't suggest aging beer in cans.

Before the flak starts flying, let me start off by saying that I bought this beer just for the hell of it to try it. :D

With that said, I am currently drinking Walgreen's Big Flats. To be honest, it really isn't that bad! It ain't a craftbrew by any means, but it sure beats other cheap beers on the market for baseball watching beer!

Kind of reminded me of a cross between new Belgium ranger ipa and bell's two hearted. Mighty tasty. Although now I'm kicking myself for not buying the Deschutes abyss instead.

Brew day...
Started with anchor steam, hanssens oude gueuze, homebrew black IPA, rochefort 8, Yeti, and finished with a KBS.

The homebrew may not be great, but the booze it took to make it was :D

Dood. You have no idea how much I miss the Duck Rabbit Baltic Porter. It used to be a staple in my fridge when I was in SC. Nothing else is quite the same. Good stuff. Sweetwater too. The 420 is a fantastic brew.

Is that Kate the Great? I am green with envy!

How was the Temptation? I just got a bottle in a trade and was debating whether to drink or set it back for a while.

Hope you enjoyed the Red Poppy, I really liked it.

I liked the Temptation, it was actually the last beer of the night, and forgot to get everyone's thoughts on the aged vs. "fresh". But I will say that it was plenty funky and sour still, and it has not become too sour for sure. Good complexity and definitely not over the hill.

Everyone liked this years Red Poppy better than last years, which is excellent.

That Portsmouth beer in the middle..........:xxx
