Drinking a Surly Bender now. Youngs Double Chocolate Stout on deck. Stopped at the beer store on the way home and bought a 4 pack each of Founder's Breakfast Stout and North Coast's Old Rasputin.

I finally managed to find some of the much raved about Founders Breakfast Stout, and now I see why--great stuff! It was on my BBL (beer "bucket list" ) Really enjoyable

I'm drinking a Flying Dog Horn Dog Barleywine. This is my first ever barleywine, and I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but wow, it's lovely. I had no idea that malts could be so sweet. It's 10% abv, but it's definitely a smooth, sweet tasty beer. I got this in a Flying Dog sampler pack, but will definitely buy some on it's own.

Have you tried the Gonzo Imperial Porter yet? Best of the Canis Major sampler IMO.

I have. It is a very good porter. In fact I added two to a mixed 6 pack I bought recently.

Snowing to beat the band here in Minneapolis tonight. Met a good friend of mine for a few beers at a local bar. Had a Surly Furious, Schell's Snowstorm, and a Guinness, all on tap. (Guinness is really overrated, isn't it?) Was great to be out in a lively holiday atmosphere and have a few beers. I'm home now, and since I am working from home tomorrow and can sleep in, am having a Sam Adams Cream Stout.

Hope you all are enjoying your beers tonight.

Drinking my first left hand milk stout Pretty good.
Up next is my first brooklyn black chocolate stout

And yes, guinness draft is overrated. The bottled extra stout isn't bad, but there are many better.

I've only had one LH Milk Stout, but I liked it very much.

If I were in Dublin you can bet Guinness would be my stout of choice!

I'd like to try it sometime without the nitro-induced head. I suspect that it masks some of the aroma. But it does give it that lovely creamy texture.

I can tell you that the Guinness in the States, both bottled and on tap, doen't hold a candle to the Guinness in Ireland, for whatever reason. But since I can't get to Ireland every week, I do what I gotta do.

I'm currently enjoying a Xingu Black Beer from Brazil. Never had it before. I noticed it has to be uber cold to be tasty. I had one that had only been in the fridge for a couple of hours.....yikes!

Drinking a Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter. Really a good porter. Wish we could get it here in MN. I got this one when my family went to Ohio for Thanksgiving.
