    Haha, at least your dyslexia got pretty close, location-wise. That's a pretty damn smart dyslexia.

    I did a 50/50 with Old Rasputin. I would have like it better with less Rubaeus, perhaps 35/65. The tartness of the Rubaeus dominated at 50/50.

    I've done 1/4 blushing monk 3/4 founders imperial stout and it was glorious. For about 5 minutes I thought I was a genius...

    I tried a 50-50ish blend of Rubaeus and Pizza Boy's Pineapple Sour at the brewery last weekend. It was a fantastic balance between sweet and sour if you like sours (it was still quite tart). I thought it was quite a bit better than either beer standing alone.

    I want to mix ST Creme Brulee with Old Raspy. Or Chocolate Yeti with Espresso Oak Aged.

    Anyone tried adding a shot of whiskey to a non-barrel aged stout? Just to see what happens. Also, I wonder how high a shot of whiskey would increase the ABV of an already strong stout.

    I usually only hop-up poor versions of wheat, triples and saisons. The last time was 2 parts two road's hefe and one part sea hag.

    maybe a drop or two of pure maple syrup would get it closer...or ruin it altogether.

    A friend left a budweiser in my fridge so I tried to see if I could drink it by mixing something in. I went with a nice brown ale, and the result was something that tasted similar to michelob amber. It wasn't world class by any stretch, but it wasn't half bad.

    Hanssens Oude Kriek + Lindemans Framboise (3:1). A bit of edge off the sour and just a little sweet; nice if you're not in the mood for all the sour.

    I have been enjoying my day; watching a little pga, waiting for the Broncos game to come on later. I have had two bcbs and 1/3 750 choc rain... I just feel like I have to combine them. 2/3 bcbs: 1/3 choc rain. I know, I am going to hell, but this works.

    Reds rye and breakfast stout 1:1 is quite good.
