Very limited release. $10 for a bottle. Had a chance to buy one when I was in Vermont last week. Only 15 cases in the whole state of Vermont. Didn't pick it up though.

Very good beer, but not great IMO. They did a good job keeping it balanced though, usually beer put into spirit barrels are higher alcohol and/or strongly flavored (porters, stouts, barleywines, etc.) but Dead Guy isn't really like that. It had a very subtle flavor of whiskey/oak to it. I tried it at the Jupiter Beer Festival a couple weeks ago, it was at the bottom of the beer list and when I asked for it the guy put his fingers over his lips as if to say, keep it quiet, guess they didn't have much of it. Anyway, worth a purchase but I would not knock down women and small children to get more of it. :tu

This morning I had to take my 15 y/o daughter to a 2 hours cooking class, too far away to drive back home. So I figured I'd have 2 hours of boredom waiting for her. But to my good fortune there was a Famous Dave's restaurant next door that was open for brunch. So I sat there for 2 hours eating a nice brunch, listening to live jazz, and drinking Bell's Two Hearted on tap. Delish. :tu

Had some Bells batch 9000. I heard that it taste similar to Darklord. It was a little less sweet that Darklord. I think i preferred it to DL. Would have to try them back to back to be sure.

Ommegang Biere de Mars. Really, really good!
http://www.fototime.com/6D3919735783721/orig.jpg




Here is a little info on the brew:

Ommegang Bière de Mars is a Belgian-style amber ale with a bit of magical space dust woven in - Brettanomyces bruxellensis, a wild-yeast used in the secondary fermentation. The Brett imparts added tartness, a bit of zing and some farmhouse funkiness. Also dry-hopped, this new ale continues our exploration of using Brett for secondary fermentation in limited-release beers.
