    This aspect of the beer world BLOWS MY MIND. In the end, it's just beeeeeeer. (right? RIGHT!?!?).

    I was on my way home with my bottle when this Spicoli-looking character flagged me down hurridly screaming, "Wait! Sir!".

    Thinking I must have dropped something, I stopped and inquired about his business with me. He stated, "What's that there on your shirt?", and by the time I could look down he had stabbed me.

    48 stiches.

    So on a positive note, for those of us that are actually drinking their bottle, what's a good beer to think of as a comparison? I've never had a barrel aged oatmeal stout. I have a feeling it's going to be very sweet.

    ? I'm just trying to get back on topic about the beer itself. Sorry I'm kind of tired of people complaining about this being an instawhale, trade ****, etc. Not everyone who got a bottle had those things in mind.

    though you missed playaplaya, his aura hangs over this thread and his trollish sense of being is infecting lots of folks on here.

    In all seriousness, it would be interesting to try this side-by-side with a bottle of Beer Geek Breakfast.

    PlayaPlaya didn't need to be there, they shipped another 360 bottles to a liquor store in DeKalb only he knows about.

    With so much side talk, I am not following the thought process here. That's certainly not to say it's off track, but BGB isn't barrel aged, so what is it in the comparison that you would be looking for?

    Only quality Double Oatmeal Stout that I can think of that would be readily available to those in the Midwest. I have had the BA Oatmeal Stout from Anderson Valley and came away unimpressed by comparison.

    AH, I see. Thanks for the response. I wasn't connecting those dots as I don't dabble into Mikkeller much.
