    Prairie Artisan Pecans In Paradise BBA Imperial Stout, 14.7% ABV. I rated it 4.38. Having gumbo soup in the crock for supper. We went to Guardians 3 and came back to the incredible smell of gumbo. G3 was the best of the series, BTW.

    Get emails from AleSmith, but sadly can't ship their beers here. This is the last one of these I have, hope to find more plus .394 and IPA in the Fall once room has cleared in my refrigerator. Taking advantage of a nice cool morning in Chicago after a walk in the neighborhood including hitting the bakery.

    Put this in my backpack around 730am and just cracked it after wrapping this job.
    Thanks @CarolinaCardinals !
    Tastes great , the barrel is pushed to the front and leaves little room for dark fruit, chocolate and charred wood flavors and i wouldn't have it any other way!

    So, had this tonight to try and improve my Monday. It worked. This is a solid beer.

    Wish I could remember who sent it to me, a NBW BIF a year or so ago, as this was straight up excellent.
    Cheers all!

    How have these Bruery bottle stouts been? We get limited distro of their crappy pastry stuff in cans. Every one I've tried has been pretty bad.

    Those Bakery series ones are complete ASS and a waste of shelf space. The ones i have been drinking i believe were club member (Hoarders/Reserve Society) so i don't think they see distro .
    So Happens Its Tuesday does see dustro in pints and worth trying, I've always liked it.

    The rest of them have been ok, but wouldn't be my first , second,third , fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth or tenth choice based on price. Black Tuesday goes for 50 dollsrs out here and is NOT worth what they ask..maybe half the price. Firestone Walker makes better stuff IMO, but i know many disagree. What do i know...I've only drank stouts from every corner of this country:stuck_out_tongue:
