Sounds like a great night!

The only beer we all didn't care for was the Avery 18. The rye was over the top. Red Poppy was amazing, as was Sanctification.

There is a decent amount of people that have been taking some shots at Big John for being to boozy, but for me I had NO problems with the booze. Great beer.

Lost Abbey makes some amazing good beers. Their serpent's stout is one of my favorite stouts.

It is boozy but not hot. I think there is some crazy things going on in that beer.

For sure, what I loved about it was a great Almond nut flavor on the finish.

If you've ever had Southern Tier Choklat, they are similar in profile. Although I prefer Big John, more depth and comlexity in the flavor.

I had some Schlafly American IPA Sunday night. It was good enough for me to be seeking out more for this weekend again. Hop heads will rejoice with this beer. It's been flying under the radar, but many good things in life fly under the radar
