    Revisit Reviews day and such:

    Damn good witbier. Lemon, banana, pear, apple, orange, clove, pepper, herbal, grass yeast with balanced wheat/bready malts. Nice creamy/smooth mouthfeel. If you don't pour the yeast in your witbier, you are going to have a bad time.

    Damn good IPA! Very "east coast" of course. Bright grapefruit, tangerine, orange/lemon zest, light mango with light pine bitterness and a moderate amount of light caramelly/bready malt sweetness. Very delicious.

    Very nice stout! Extremely roasty stuff. Big dark chocolate, cocoa, roast, coffee, toast, biscuit, light toffee, light char malts. Fairly creamy and moderately dry/chalky. I liked this a lot more than I remember it from years ago.

    Very tasty stuff. Aromas were quite a bit forward in the pepper presence, but were pleasant with malt sweetness. Taste of chocolate, cocoa, raisin, plum, pear, toast, brown sugar, brown bread, light chili pepper, light coffee, herbal, and toasted/yeast earthiness. The chili/coffee was light-moderately present in the taste. Minimal pepper heat. Zero cloying sweetness or booze. Definitely enjoyed this.

    Been over a year since I have seen fresh Stoopid anywhere around here. And then today, I visit a shop I haven't been to in probably a year. Low and behold: 1/19/2014. INSANE. Huge mango, papaya, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, tangerine hop explosion in your mouth. Holy tropical fruit batman. This DIPA is unbelievable. For 5 dollars you have a blown mind/10.

    It has been a long time, but I picked up a pair of Arrogant Bastard bombers tonight. It's just a great as I remember. The one that put Stone on the map is still a classic.

    I'm on the edge of my seat watching Arizona in double OT vs. ASU. This beer is better chilled than cold when fresh as the flavors pop a lot more. Cheers,[​IMG]

    2004 Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock! Been cellaring this beauty since it's release. Not as amazing as it was in 2010 when I cracked another bottle, but still so full of chocolate that when I cracked the top off, the smell of chocolate instantly filled the air and I started salivating! LOL! My wife and I both enjoyed this very much!

    A new arrival. Not as good as I was expecting. More of an Old Ale than a Barleywine. Getting a little better as it warms, but this might be a one and done 4pk for me. 12.5%abv, $10.99 had me excited. Meh...

    I'm enjoying this. The 8.2% adds a nice little kick.
