Shmaltz/HE'BREW Genesis 15:15 Barrel Aged Harvest Barleywine Ale... ale brewed with pomegranate juice, fig juice, date & grape juice, aged in rye whiskey barrels... well...it's not boring...

2 x Bruery/Dogfish Head Faster, Bigger, Better, Bolder (Gradually, Quietly, Steadily) 2 x Mikkeller Barrel Aged Chipotle Porter (Texas Ranger) 6 x Founders Backwoods Bastard I insist that the beers I buy have silly names...

fair point, but I was close enough that my sister would've got it:)...I'm tempted to check my notes for the rest of that night...I hope it wasn't expensive...

you don't remember the time that Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take the garbage out?...

^^no one else grew up in the '80's?...Shel Silverstein?...fine:)... Abita 25th Anniversary Vanilla Doubledog...a light bodied dessert beer?...why didn't anyone else think of this before?...um...ya...not my favorite brewery...& I've been there & taken the tour...

Green Flash Double Stout...survived Stoutapalooza somehow only to meet its demise tonight... there's a rumor that Green Flash is bringing back their acclaimed Silva Stout...when I went to check into Double Stout on untappd, it said that I've had Silva Stout...I don't recall when & where so I checked my notes... all it said was “forgot to take the garbage out”...

Chupacabra from RAM Brewery...porter infused with peppers of some sort...bland, uninteresting...avoid the word infused when choosing what beer to drink... Sun King Colt 444 again...we're hoping they put out 40oz cans of this:)...

I'll ask in the LCD-3 thread...
