    If I could suggest my friend Ibai's music from the Basque Country, Ilbeltz! He wrote a 1000 page book in Basque to go along with the cd, which is about a basque Pirate!



    A great friend, Ibai is, and a great musican! :grinning:

    Gonna enjoy some of this before I hit the bowling alley and PBR becomes the most flavorful option available.

    The coffee is waaay more pronounced in the 2011 batch, which almost doesn't make sense...perhaps they changed the recipe?

    ok

    so i started with this. nice. i can recognize a quality beer even if it's not really my thing. maybe i'm not an imperial stout guy.

    OMFG are you s***ing me? Scha-wing!

    reminds me of the bosco or hershey syrup at the bottom of a glass of chocalate milk - that will get you buzzed.

    Some Left Hand Barrel Aged Wake Up Dead Imperial Stout as I listen and watch the new High on Fire video. Went in with somewhat low expectations for this but definitely like this one. For $8.50 a bomber, I'd happily buy this again.

    Great brew but I prefer Hunts vs Heinz. It took me years to finally admit it.:rolling_eyes:

    I will! BTW, it should be available at Capone's if you get up that way in Philly. (Matt always seems to get this stuff first before anyone.) I was talking to the guy at Troegs yesterday and he was expecting another week or two before it hits the shelves through distribution.
