    Gigantic: Our beer is even more awesome than our labels.

    Finished off the night with a D.O.R.I.S.

    Cheers anyways.

    Aside from everything else, don't snakes have a really keen sense of "smell"?

    Having this one for the first time, paired with one of my favorite albums.

    Trying one now for the first time and it just isn't doing it for me, it starts out nice and balanced but falls flat on its face with a finish that's too sweet. (...I know, I'm the minority. But, I bet this was much more impressive a month or more ago.) - Just my humble two cents. :flushed:

    Severely disappointed. Here's hoping the Enjoy By in me fridge is far better.

    Nice ending to the day! Had to try one of these. Bought a few for some trades.

    IMO the best beer from Detroit. I've been a fan of Atwater for a while (first brewery I visited) and I think this is by far their best beer. Definitely a nice step down from the sweetness of their Vanilla Java Porter, and can't taste a bit of the 11%. If you're looking for a 'light' Imperial Stout, this beer is it.

    my favorite Detroit musician to go along with this solid Detroit beer.

    Full Sail LTD #6, roasted chocolate and hints of coffee. Definitely wasn't what I expected, I forgot to read the entire label :stuck_out_tongue:

    It's good though!

    To be fair, you may not have been disappointed if you had tried it fresh, in June.

    (I also cannot like the glass of Alchemy Hour in front of me right now so I'm scoring big time anti-points right now ***sorry***.)

    Yeah I definitely still liked it, but I think my palate and glass choice weren't fully up to the task tonight. I'll write a review in another day or two.

    Did you get any garlicky notes from it? Not in a bad way, but still.
