Re: What beers are you enjoying?
I would love to hear how they compare Vic.
Had a Dogfish head IPA and now the dogfish head Aprihopes (I think that's the name).

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
The GI Bourbon County Stout is HUGE. I mean HUGE.
A bigger beer than the KBS. More bourbon, more dark fruit, more coffee, more malt, more alcohol, more everything. When I poured this, it was like pouring motor oil. Black as night, and thick. Very little head, probably because of the high ABV. Having said that, I'll say this again: "Goddamn! That's a pretty ****ing good milkshake. Is it worth 5 dollars? I don't know, but it's pretty ****ing good!" Because it's bigger and more intense I think it's going to age better than the KBS. Not to say the KBS won't age well, even after reading that one thread I still think KBS will improve with time. Which is better? I don't know. I didn't dare do a side by side comparison, I have no desire to pass out on the floor, In the end they are very similar beers. The KBS is not as big, a little sweeter, and has a certain something that the GI does not. The GI is more intense, has more bourbon, more wood, etc. and will cellar better I think, and it's slightly more accessible. The prices are similar, with the GI being slightly, and I mean slightly cheaper. A couple of dollars per 4 pack cheaper at this level is not going to make a decision for me one way or the other. Both outstanding, and I'm glad I have them both. |

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
Thanks for the review on the GI Vic. I will have to keep my eyes open on the next trip to the store and maybe do comparison with a friend on GI/KBS.
Just glad you were able to stay off the floor.

Re: What beers are you enjoying?
I had a Surly Coffee Bender earlier, and honestly didn't care much for it. Now I'm drinking a Deschutes Black Butte porter and loving it.
