Had a Summit India-style Rye earlier. Now having a Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. I love this stuff. I think I'm going to buy a 6 pack to age 'til next winter. Should be lovely for the Holidays.

I picked up a case of this last week to age. Right now to me it seems more like a DIPA than a barleywine, the hops are pretty aggresive. I like it a lot, but will probably like it more once it balances out some.

Went to a small beer festival yesterday that had over 120 different beers. About 75 percent of them were from micro or craft brewers. Hat's off to Billy's Chilies - you actually smell the pepper, taste the pepper and feel a twinge of heat. Pike's Brewery from Seattle also had some interesting brews - Kilt Lifter and the Extra Stout. Brother Theloneus Dubbel, Psychic and some others. Now I just have to remember where I left my tasting notes...

Oh! I also enjoyed a Cain Maduro while sampling the beer.

Sam Adams Imperial White.

Meh. It was in the fridge taking up space, so it had to be drunk.:D

It was.........average. Nothing necessarily wrong with it, just nothing about it made me think I'd buy it again.

Finishing off the bottle of Dogfish Head Fort.

What a disappointment. This is the first DFH beer that I don't really love.

It's interesting, but I can't get past the strong solvent taste of alcohol. At 18% abv maybe they went too big with this.

Maybe I'll buy another bottle and lay it down for awhile and see if that helps.

I tried to clarify it for some, but the question seemed to keep morphing into something else. I knew what you were saying, Vic.

And yes, Peter...the answer is "yes". :)

Wasn't impressed either. Way too boozy. It might become good with 1-2 years on it. My wife liked the Black and Blue, I wasn't a big fan of that either.

I found a 4 pack of Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout today. We won't tell my wife how much it cost. ;-)

But holy cow, I think my life just changed. This may be the most amazing beer I've ever had. If you can find it and aren't put off by the price, buy it.

One of my favorite beers. Had it last year in a bottle, and on tap the other day. Still trying to fork out $23 for a 4 pack. Luckily we got 23 cases of it where I work.

Did you find that recently or were you storing it? What time of year does it normally come out? I love that beer.

We are out of it now, but we got a few cases of it a few months ago. Don't remember exactly. My Imperial Black Ale really reminded me of that beer, not as close as a clone, but similar aspects.

Last night I had Ayinger Oktoberfest. I am definitely brewing up a bunch of Oktoberfest soon and lagering it until fall and throwing an Oktoberfest party the first of October.

Drinking some Magic Hat Vinyl, a very good, enjoyable, sessionable Vienna Lager. Also a Hofbrau Maibock we just got in. Good stuff. Sure doesn't seem over 7% abv.

I found it at Total wine about two weeks ago. I have seen plenty of it around the Phoenix area. I checked the Stone website and it labels it is a limited year round release.
