    Not a big Mikkeller person, but this is really good. Beer Geek Brunch Weasel - see if you can find a barrel-aged version (super-good).

    Honestly, not my fave, but it fits the bill...

    Stunning.

    Good, but that's all (as if that weren't enough... :sunglasses:)

    This does not match any of your search terms, but you would be a fool to pass it up.

    Easy call.

    [​IMG]
    You know this one, right? Super solid brew.

    [​IMG]
    Don't pass this up if you see it!

    Low abv, but so decadent and awesome!

    Another easy call.

    Happy hunting!

    Victory at Sea is tons of bang for the buck. Peche Mortel is lovely especially cellared. Velvet Merkin is so milk chocolatey!! Not to mention, silky and smooth like chocolate milk. Also BCBCS will be easily obtainable this year and should fill any coffee or chocolate void in your life :wink:

    Especially right now. It was a bit hot back in March, but it's mellowed out and delicious right now. Very Speedway-esque.

    Yep. Whenever I see it there's like 4 bottles on the shelf and when I leave there are zero. Can't even comprehend the perceived awesomeness of BB Peche.

    Yeah i really liked the base beer and, for me, the bourbon barrel treatment made it perfect. I'm considering driving to Canada this winter when it gets released.

    If you're up for trading...
    FBS
    KBS
    Prairie bomb
    The first two bring the coffee, bomb had more chocolate notes.
    Keeping it local...
    Backcountry breakfast stout was amazing and at 4% its super sessionable.
    Espresso oak aged yeti has huge coffee flavors.
    Chocolate yeti brings a bit of heat with the chocolate.
    Copper kettle mexican chocolate stout is awesome if you like some cinnamon and chile as well.
    Left hand milk nitro on tap... had some at lunch and its like a chocolate milkshake for alcoholics... ahem, I mean beer enthusiasts.
    But hands down, bar none, tweak is king. I can't emphasize this enough. the coffee is huge in this beer, and with all the chocolate and toffee that comes along with it, it is my only 5. If they aged that shit in a barrell lord only knows what I would do to get it...
