    Hell yeah. See, I was at Chaos day and it was easily one of the best BA stouts I've tried. I had my doubts originally because Instagram neckbeard said "Had it, wasn't that good". Which is what led me to believe either he had not drank it, or he drank Cocoa Chaos which was definitely not that good at FOBAB. I

    I'm very curious about both. My only issue in terms of the latter is that I need to buy two bottles of beer to find out if I like the concept, and aside from $$$, that also means I may have more to drink than I want at once.

    If this site ever permits, you and I need to have a "gif off" (I know, sounds like a euphemism).

    You'd probably win since I only have a few good go-tos, but yeah, I'd definitely be down!

    I don't like that those little Firestone Walker Vintage bottles are 10.99. Not one bit. I picked up 2 Bravo, but I wasn't happy about it.

    I'm confused by what Marz means by polish stout? are the malts smoked? is it a marketing gimmick? Is this a new style we need to add on BA??

    Yeah, I hoped someone else would chime in on what the hell a Polish stout is.

    And yes, we always need more styles on BA; keeps us on our toes!

    This one goes over my head as well. My thought process is not what they intended- Corrupt Polish? Stout is a liquid...Germans liquidated the Poles. Am I committing genocide by drinking this? I'll pass on this one.

    Edit: Looking at the labels, there are sausage on it. Perhaps a corrupt Polish is the sausage with something other than mustard and onions on it?

    I only eat my polish sausages with bourbon barrel aged ketchup on them.

    Glad I read Beer Advocate. I saw it and thought "polish" not "Polish" - as in "polish your shoes". Neither really makes sense I guess.

    Aren't they in the Bridgeport neighborhood? Traditionally a Polish stronghold in Chicago, it's probably in reference to that...

    Bridgeport is 'traditionally' Irish, but they had some Poles.
