    is it just me? or do you get a fruity, lighter red wine taste on the front end of aorta ale?

    I get the same "red wine" both in the scent (especially smelling the empty bottle after pour) and also on the front end as well.

    The Bim Bam Boom from the variety pack is really good. It has a nice chocolate/orange flavor with just a hint of hot pepper.

    Just had a Small Heath, very nice... This would make a good year rounder, it has great flavor but is still mild and easy to drink.

    Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

    Get ready, because in early January Smore Stout gets distributed for the first time in about a decade!

    Can't wait for Smore stout, I'll be buying some marshmallows at the same time for the proper garnish!

    All right, y'all here know I'm a total Short's homer here, and I enjoy most of their output. But it's not just the brews that make Short's great, it's the people behind the brand. Right now at home I've got this case o' Chocolate Wheat...

    And I'm enjoying the hell out of it! Gotta send thanks to Emily in marketing and Joe in Liberation. Short's is full of some of the finest folks in the Mitten.
    And thanks to our regular guy-on-the-inside, @HopHeadHerman! Sean, we all appreciate you keeping us up to date and answering our questions. Here's to a delicious 2017.

    2006 Imperial Pilsner? I assume this is imperial spruce pilsner? Is that even drinkable anymore?

    Could be the curl? Which is the most rarest of rare Short's beers of im correct

    I believe it's the Curl. I'm unsure of quality but it's interesting either way depending on price.

    From what I've been told, it's still damn good. I had one a year or two ago, and can say that.

    Heck yeah, it's interesting! I was just wondering if they were selling it for collector reasons, or if it's still a good drinkable brew. According to Sean looks like its good to drink!

    Just got a hoppy holiday pack from my folks. They found it yesterday at a Meijer in the western burbs. Said they had a big stack of 12-packs sitting on the floor. Not quite a fresh as my MI peeps got it, but still looking forward to trying these brews!

    Last beer of 2016 was a Smore Stout, suprised to find it today. Garnished it with a flaming marshmallow. Very tasty! Shorts rocked it in 2016 and I know 2017 will be even better!

    Just returned from my trip back home to the U.P. I drank so many great Short's beers, during my trip. Highlights were (in no particular order) BA Carrot Cake, Critterless, Juicy Tree, Spruce Pilsner, and Guess the Dry Hop Locals Lager (amazing!). Just wanted to say thanks the all of the Short's folks making such great beer

    Any other S'more stout sightings today? I've scoured the west side of GR today and it looks like it's still a no-show here. Patiently waiting.....
