    Best beer I had on my trip up north
    Drakes - Drakonic Imperial Stout What a treat to run into a great Stout
    [​IMG]
    Also had Jolly Rodger which i believe was a BBA Stout with Coffee at 16.7% ( i think). It was ok but im over the whole BBA Coffee stuff for the time being

    I wish i could find Drakonic in packs. None were available at Dealership and nothing on map .
    I loved every sip of it .

    A very solid beer and brewery. If you like Barleywines don't ever pass up Bourbon O.E as well!

    Zebulon is ny favorite brewery of that state and possibly the region . Cardinal was generous enough to send me the 1840s RIS version both BA and Base and shit knocked my danged socks off. Hard to explain, but i think i was meant to be born in that era...before adjuncts:wink:
    Prove it ( send):stuck_out_tongue:

    Seems like a good day to try my first Parabaloid. Might have to agree with @Resistance88 that Parabola might be better

    They're both great, but this years Parabola is just fucking awesome.
    Last years Paraboloid is Definitely better than this years though.

    Needs to be more RIS with vanilla. The bitter/roasty balances out the vanilla nicely.

    Lupulin Pumpkin Spice Demigod BBA Imperial Stout, 12.8% ABV. I rated this 3.96, and may have been too generous. Was hoping for more, which I too often find myself saying about pumpkin beers.

    Enjoying a pastry stout from Eighth State out of Greenville, SC from former BA @BMBCLT.
    The main flavors coming thru are carrot cake, cassia, and vanilla. No coffee notes which is sorely needed for balancing purposes. Overall a fun beer to try but too sweet for my palate. Rated 4.09.
    Cheers!
