Sampled side by side with three pals. General agreement was that the 2009 was the favorite.

I will say 09 has been my favorite so far as well. It's really turning into an amazing beer right now.

If it makes you feel any better Peter, Goose Island Bourbon County was damn near impossible to get this year... It was gone the day it hit shelves in Chicago, let alone the rest of Illinois... I'm jealous of the guys who went long on the market for 09 Bourbon County, because it's drinking 10x better than it was fresh.. Perfect barrel aged stout.

I was happy I did stock up on the 09's. Still crazy to think that it was on the shelves for a year.

Went to my local liquor store last night with my growler in hand. They were having a theme: "Dark Side of the Brew" in honor of Pink Floyd. Well, I'm not a huge fan of Floyd, but the beer selection was :dr.

I ended up getting it filled with Founders Imperial Stout (2011), but was given generous samples of Oskar Blues Ten Fidy, Brooklyn Chocolate Stout, Avery the Czar (2010), Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout, Lost Abbey Serpent's Stout and one more I can't think of at the moment. Pretty cool theme with some very impressive beers. :chr

Picked up a bottle of this last night not knowing anything about it other than that I liked the two breweries that collaborated on it. Now I'm looking forward to drinking it.

It's one of the beers by Dogfish Head that I miss since they pulled out of WI.

It doesn't even taste like a brown ale, it reminds me of a porter. The coffee and chocolate flavors are fantastic!

Palo Santo is an amazing Imperial Brown. I'd highly recommend that one if you're into bigger beers.

2010 Yeti on deck. These have smoothed out nicely. Only have 12oz bottles left. For some reason the bombers have tasted slightly better:confused:

This beer is still hoppy. Roasty coffee, nuts, chocolate notes. Yeti is a damn good stout.

Ahhh, you beat me to it! :r

Honestly, sometimes after mowing the lawn, nothing washes the taste of grass and pollen out my mouth better than chugging some High Life. Beats Anheuser Busch products...Or tap water (barely).

Found a couple bottles of Brooklyn Monster from '07. It's oxidized a bit, but still pretty good.
