A blended stout; tough one to describe, even Dogfish Head doesn't say too much about it, preferring to get all mystical and wanting to discuss Miles Davis. It was okay, in a largely positive way. I detected an almost sour aroma on the nose, but I think it was the honey presence. Some honeys have a weird smell. A warm stout, definitely a sipper.

Hmmmm.... didn't notice 'til I posted the photo. It's a 2 year old beer!

The first time I had it an unknown number of years ago ( because I swear my eight year old nephew was just born two years ago... But realistically bad I think about it 6-7 years ago) I liked. It had all sorts of subtle flavors of spices. This was also before building a beer cellar, drinking most of it off to love across country back to building up a cellar. I wish I had bought more bottles to age. And then bought more each year it came out. The young brew left am impression but there are always other beers to cellar.

Wife brought me these from Louisiana. Orange juice consistency, it was pretty thick beer. It's pretty sweet too

Looks amazing. You're blowing my mind with that "wife brought me" silliness, though.

Beat kept secret micro brew in Columbus. I'm trying my best to spread the word.

She went with her sister to take care of some family business. So she brought me back some beers

I didn't need an explanation. I was being very facetious. My wife doesn't support my interest in malt beverages at all. Any cooperation or support exhibited by other members' spouses throws me for a real loop.

Maybe I'm just jealous.

She brought me a pack Pliny the elder last year was from California.

Best IPA I've ever had

 

[Black Adder]

A robust porter. Had an uncharacteristic tang that I didn't expect, but it was good. Really couldn't pick up any vanilla.

What he said

 

[ChefJohnBoy-ardee]

Sideswipe Hop Tat. 8% drinks like a 5 or 6. I got a growler yesterday. Ive learned it can get me in trouble when it's available.

Nice beer while watching the Buckeyes

 

[ChefJohnBoy-ardee]

The Hop Tat is a beauty.

The referee looks so clear through that glass!

Was one reason I took the the pic. Or to entice y'all to come to Columbus for some Sideswipe

[Black Adder]

One of the best brown ales I've ever had.

My beer 98% of the times I have one:

I'm cheap, but every time I buy a beer that costs more than 70 cents a can I think, "man, that tastes like a flavor that has no business in a beer."
