The aged bottle is unreal though, smoooooth dark chocolate, espresso, nuts, leather, tobacco. None of which I see in a fresh bottle

Ill just bring a 6pack to shack then. I have a sealed case from last year, as you can see.

If I were you, I'd take more than a 6 pack. It's really a good beer and don't forget that most people don't have access to it.

Some people LOVE that Creme Brulee stout from them, some people HATE it. I have never had it , so.....

Oh I am not a fan of motor oil, just saying that we drink a fair share of it during the tasting,
and it is refreshing to occasionally clear the palate with something different. I later read
that the expedition was another stout, so that logic blew away like dust. But some of
what I am bringing is NOT stout. So the opener-meister, usually Hootie, can select the
right bottle for the right round I am confident. More beer nipples just now....Shack Nipples too.

My other additions are not stout either. I totally misread you

No, you read it exactly right, I was just using a cliche' to blather on.
I DO like the interest I get off of one of those thick-a55 beers, but
you can't drink ALL that, ALL night. I was a little wowwed by one of
those ultra-thick beers last year, didn't know they could DO that.

We'll get it done, man, just be standing when its time. No more 'coffee
table' impressions.

Nice, Kristin. One of the ones I need to try! Grabbed a few more bottles today, including some pumpkin beers.

When is the official tasting? Saturday?
