    Couldn't get this picture to load the other day for some reason, but we had a major plumbing failure that left me sitting around for an hour waiting for a coworker to bring the needed pieces. So I decided to enjoy a classic in our branded company glassware. Look at that head!

    Seriously, this busted Amazon coffee mug threw the best Old Rasputin head I think I've ever gotten. Did it with all 4 cans. #properglassware!

    Nice roasty, chocolaty stout without being 'beetus sweet.

    Another one from @Chaz

    Great beer!

    Fonta Flora Coracoid - Cocoa & Nutmeg - 14% ABV blend of an 18 month double barrel-aged English Barleywine and an 18 month bourbon barrel-aged Imperial Stout conditioned on Videri cocoa nibs and house-zested whole nutmeg.

    [​IMG]

    I'm not smelling or tasting any nutmeg. Just bitter dark cocoa.

    Cheers! :beers:

    I'm glad someone is holding the line on nutmeg. House zested or not at all!

    I've been drinking Harry's Darker Side from Ludlam Island Brewing for the past two weeks. It's an extraordinary Coffee Stout with the coffee coming from the grindery next door. My issue is the 14.5% ABV. I wish it were in a 12 oz. format instead of a pint can. The past two Saturday nights I haven't finished the can. Delicious but just too much!

    Please tell me you’re interested in Tree House beers and want to do some swappy swappy. Those CW beers all look so
    it was better than most of the stuff I get from Tavour. It was actually pretty good for a pastry stout, but not worth more than a Bourbon County imo. I really think some breweries offload their stouts that went sideways or turned out bad to Tavour. I’ve had a good amount of straight up barrel aged stouts with no adjuncts that are somehow awful.
