The Blue label comes in a huge bottle , sells for around $30.00 here . It would be nice if the Premier (red label) came in that size also . I usually only buy the Premier in the 750 ml size .

I was at a liquor store last night and they had a couple bottles of Rogue Imperial Stout from 2007. It seemed strange because they don't have much of a beer selection there, and they were tucked on an end cap with the Chimays.

It didn't look like the usual Rogue bombers with the painted labels - It was kind of frosty and gray and dated prominently on the bottle.

It was $15/bottle, so I didn't get one.

Should I go back and pick one up?

Lost the battle of will power, huh, after 2 whole weeks :) I've got a lot of beer and most age pretty well, except for IPAs. I really will give them 6 months max and then I restock.

I picked up four Allagash "black" Belgian Style Stout's in 750 ml bottles at Costco. Two, I drank with a friend last night to get a base impression. The remaining two I plan to age for 4-5 years.

What are your impressions on this beer?

No more acronyms from me :r I was referring to Black Chocolate stout. Isn't the Bourbon County Stout like impossible to find? I suppose I could do some searching around here.

You mean at your house or in WI? :r

Perhaps a trade is in order :) There's one liqour store in Detroit that the GI website says has GI products. Unfortunately I'd be risking my life to go there to check it out :td No exaggeration not one of the good areas in Detroit.

This man is NOT kidding. Do NOT go to detroit! I drove through there, got hit ....just say yea dude it's cool and walked on. I refuse to stop at a gas station in detroit.

I got a few other funny detroit stories, but well they aren't for OPEN discussion. As they sound horrible racist ...and it wasn't me...it was the Detroit PD!

As far as aging beer.....I drink it. It's too hard to age it. It's easy to not touch cigars when you have hundreds/thousands. It's hard not to see a delicious craft brew and not drink it. AMIRITE?

I shared a bottle of 2002 Chocolate Stout at the VCM Holiday Herf yesterday. It was fantastic, very smooth, some folks said it was like a nice, rich sherry. Fortunately I still have 2 or 3 bottles left for additional special occasions.
