    in the spirit of "The Lacing Game", fuggit i'm bored. . . let's take another stab at it, hopefully equally fun.

    below is a picture of the beer i had yesterday afternoon/evening. whoever guesses correctly will get a couple of bottles i'll discuss with the winner (hopefully i have something they don't/can't get & are interested in).

    i'll just say tell me as much as you can about what you believe this beer was. i'm confident someone will get it -- don't let me down. worst come to worse, in the end, whoever gets closest, if we have to start accepting what brewery, or what state, country... hell what planet it was made on -- somebody's gonna win!

    dislaimers: know in advance i don't have cellar full of super rare shh! - i'm a drinker not a collector, so the prize probably isn't going to be a wet dream - just something solid/dependable. also please take a good look at the picture. you can help me out with how much shit i have to read/sort through by not wasting bandwidth on comical guesses like "Miller Lite", if the example picture looks nothing like any Miller product. good luck:

    I'll take a stab of KBS. Looks damn dark. I assume the glass label doesn't have anything to do with the beer, or am I wrong because that'd make it easier?

    Based on the head I'm going with DeMolen Heaven and Hell. Mostly because I had one yesterday from 2009 and it had a huge overcarbonated head.

    I was going to say that, but KBS never has that much of a head. Plus, the OP said the prize wasn't going to be a wet dream.

    Maybe if you pour it really really hard lol. The bottle I had a couple days ago got a decent one with a hard pour. But he's in San fran they don't even get Founders so it's unlikely.

    I'm guessing espresso oak aged yeti? Looks like coffee.

    without saying too much, the glass was not a deliberate clue.
