I had a bottle of Trader Joe's Vintage 2009 Dark Ale on Lees. It's really drinking nicely right now. I was hugely disappointed with this beer a year ago, but it's very good now.

Deschutes 2010 Abyss. It is good. And it will get better with age. :)

Had a bottle of Sam Adams Infinium with some friends. Okay we actually has 2 bottles! Very pleasantly surprised. A little "fruityness" to the flavor but had a small kick at 10.3%. Glad I bought a bunch of bottles, it's been selling out quick all over the place.

Sup fellas?
Been gone on bidness/vacay for a bit and had time for a few beers..... not to say that I enjoyed them all, but tried most every Japanese beer and a few Japanese craft beers... and some shitty Mexican beers.
The usual suspects were... Corona, Modelo, Negra Modelo, Asahi, Asahi Black(bar far the best and most consumed on my part), Kirin, Sapporo.
But.... I found a cool American Craft brew pub in Tokyo that had an AMAZING selction at ASTOUNDING (my wallet had to go home 3 days early) prices.
Their list of cool stuff(not all inclusive):
Alesmith Speedway, Three Floyds Dark Lord, Gumballhead, Popskull, Lost Abbey Serpant's Stout, Lost & Found, Founders you name it they had it all, Stone Vertical Epic 10 10 10..... it was insane!!
their tap list... http://craftheads.jp/craftheads/Beers.html

I hate to do this, but tonight the lines were drawn:

Lucky Bastard > Pliny the Elder

:hm I've been wanting to try a Pliny the Elder (or Younger) for years, but Russian River doesn't ship east--I can brew a clone, but don't have anything to compare it to.

I CAN get Lucky Bastard, so that's encouraging. Thanks for the "review"! :tu

Nice. how does it compare to 9000?
I dropped the ball on this release so was only able to pick up a six-pack and a couple singles. Haven't opened a bottle yet

They're both complete different. The 10K seems to have an abundance of flavors and things going on (malty, hoppy etc.) when compared to the 9K. Almost too much and seems to need some time to settle down. If I had to pick a beer that's a meal this beer would be it.

I got two 6 packs sitting in the cellar and we'll see how this stuff turns out for the long haul.

Really enjoying this Victory Yakima Glory. Black IPA. Strong @ 8.7% , but not as alcohol forward as you might think. Malty and hoppy with a pleasant finish.
