    Drinking a Smoked Porter right now, and while it's not my favorite style, it's done well enough for me to down a whole bomber by myself. :wink:

    Excited to try the new ones!

    stoked to try Blood of the Unicorn. wasn't a fan of the original EOD, but I thought the newest version was fantastic.

    Agreed - the blue wax End of Days is 100% better than the first batch. Blood of the Unicorn and Glaucus are both pretty tasty as well. I also hear the upcoming Barrel Aged Smoked Porter bottles will have more whiskey flavor to them.

    That is my lone complaint about the beer. I love how these guys listen to what we say and tweak the recipes. Class act all the way and it shows they care.

    I thought Hyper Dog was awesome and Close Encounters was just okay.

    That's my opinion too, but apparently SimonesRules feels differently. =)

    as long as it's not the bacon beer from the other thread, looks solid.

    I really enjoyed both Hyper Dog and Close Encounter. Jones Dog is probably my fave so far though.
